CHILD RESTRAINT UPPER ANCHORAGE FITTING
To use this child restraint, the car will need a child restraint upper anchorage fitting in the seating position
that you intend to use. Refer to the car owner's handbook.
If no upper anchorage fitting is provided then you will need to install an upper anchorage fitting. Refer to
pages 83 to 86.
The upper anchorage fitting is required for attaching the top tether in both rear facing mode and forward
facing mode covered later in the these instructions.
Remove all packaging from the child restraint. If the child restraint is ISOFIX Compatible, remove the
ISOFLEX insertion guides (page 24, Ref 34) from the supplied location and store safely for further use.
Consult the car owner’s handbook for location of top tether anchorage points.
If there is no child restraint anchor fitting or child restraint anchor point refer to pages 83 to 86 for the
installation of the anchor fitting as well as the use of extension straps.
An anchor fitting is required to attach the top tether strap to fully install the restraint to the vehicle. The top
tether strap must be used with this child restraint when used.
Select a seating position with a child restraint anchor fitting directly behind the seating position.
Determine if the vehicle ISOFIX Low Anchorages or Seatbelt will be used to secure the restraint
installation. The ISOFLEX connectors will need to be deployed from their storage location prior to adjusting
the seat recline angle to rearward facing mode.

HOW TO INSTALL USING ISOFLEX
WHAT ARE ISOFIX LOW ANCHORAGES IN A VEHICLE?
INSTALLING INTO THE CAR
ISOFIX low anchorages are fixed, standardised anchoring points for securely installing an ISOFIX
compatible child restraint in a vehicle with ISOFIX low anchorages. They are an alternative method of
installing the child restraint without using car's seatbelt.
It has now become an international standard for vehicles. This anchoring technology minimises installation
mistakes by optimising the protective effect of the connection between vehicle and ISOFIX compatible child
restraint.
INSTALLING THE RESTRAINT INTO THE CAR
(USING ISOFLEX CONNECTORS IF FITTED TO THE CHILD
RESTRAINT)
To prevent damage to vehicle seat it may be necessary to remove or
open a trim covering the ISOFIX low anchorages.
ISOFIX low anchors in the
vehicle seat
A. Locate the ISOFIX Low Anchorages in the vehicle seat bight. The
location may be identified by one of the following symbols, or the
anchorage bars may be visible.
If you cannot locate them, check your vehicle owners manual.
B. If necessary, clip the two insertion guides to the two ISOFIX
fastening points of the vehicle seat (between seat and backrest).
The guides are provided to allow easier alignment of the child
restraint. The guides are not required where anchors are visible
or there are already guides provided in the vehicle seat.

ANGULAR ADJUSTMENT OF RESTRAINT
IMPORTANT: If using an Extension Strap, positioning the attachment clip above the child may lead to
injury in an accident therefore make sure that the attachment clip is not positioned in front of the vehicle
seat. Use a shorter extension strap or no extension strap.
Attachment clip should not be in
front of the vehicle seat front.
Some vehicle seats have more rearward slope than others. If the angle of the seat causes the baby to
be too upright for comfort, the angle may be altered by placing a firm packing between the seat and the
underside of the base. Packing can be a firmly rolled up towel.

REARWARD FACING
HOW TO USE
ADJUSTING HARNESS POSITION & HEADREST HEIGHT:
FOR REARWARD-FACING MODE
Correct fitment of the harness is very important as it restrains the child in the restraint. The headrest must
be in the correct position and the harness must fit firmly around upper torso of the child and be positioned
so as to leave the child's arms and legs free.
For children in rear facing mode the headrest must be in the position where the top of the shoulder strap
slots are nearest to the child’s shoulders, but not lower than the child’s shoulders. Instructions for adjusting
the headrest are on page 44. If your child has reached the lower shoulder height marker, the restraint may
be converted to “Forward facing” (Refer to Forward facing section starting on page 56).
1. The shoulder straps must be in the slots which are nearest to the child's shoulders, but not lower than
the child's shoulders. There is only one set of slots so the seat will always have the shoulder straps in
place.
2. Use the Infant Safety Cushion™ padded insert when rearward facing for smaller babies until their
shoulders reach the lower shoulder height marker. Remove the padded insert to create more room.
Remain rearward facing until the child reaches the lower shoulder height marker again.
REARWARD FACING
HOW TO USE
3. Discontinue the use of the Infant Safety Cushion™ padded insert if there is insufficient room for the
baby or their shoulders reach the lower shoulder height marker.
When positioning baby into the restraint make sure baby's back is fully supported onto the flat section and
the baby's nappy area (bottom) is resting in the bottom curvature as shown. It is recommended that bulky
nappies are not used when baby is travelling in the restraint as they can cause incorrect positioning of the
baby's back in the restraint.

HOW TO USE
ADJUSTING AHR EASY ADJUST™ HEADREST AND HARNESS STRAP
HEIGHT
Pull to lengthen
A. Before adjusting the headrest, lengthen the
harness by pressing harness adjustment button
while pulling on both shoulder straps evenly until
the harness will accommodate the child.
B. You do not need to remove the restraint from
the vehicle to adjust the harness or headrest
positions. Small adjustments may be made with
the child in the seat, the child will need to lean
forward to allow the headrest to be adjusted.
C. To adjust the headrest, lift the red lever at the top
of the headrest then pull up or push down so that
the shoulder strap slots are level with or slightly
above your child’s shoulders. If the headrest is just
above the shoulders then the harness level will
be correct.
D. Release AHR Easy Adjust Headrest Lever so that
it locks into position. Ensure that it has locked in
position by gently pushing down on it.
E. If the headrest is adjusted with the child in the
seat, always check that the headrest cover has
not bunched up behind child’s back.
NOTE: For comfort ensure the bottom edges of the
headrest are not contacting the child’s shoulders but just
above the shoulders.
Do not adjust the headrest by pulling on the Side Impact Cushion.

C. Loosen shoulder straps by pressing the harness adjuster and
pull both shoulder straps evenly. Pull out the desired amount
of slack.
D. Place the two harness tongues into the Buckle Tongue Holder
(if fitted).
Move the harness buckle towards the harness adjuster for
easier fitment next time you put the infant in the carrier.
E. Place baby into child restraint lying on its back so that the buckle
is between the baby’s legs. Ensure that baby’s arms and legs
are free. Make sure baby is dressed to allow the Harness
Buckle to be pulled up between baby’s legs e.g. a jump suit.
Never wrap child in a blanket before placing in restraint.
IMPORTANT :
Always adjust the height of the shoulder straps as the child grows.
CAUTION:
Do not harness an infant wrapped in a blanket or swaddled as this increases the risk of ejection and
injury or death in a crash. The harness needs to fit firmly to the baby, any blanket or other covering may
be placed over the harness after the harness is adjusted. Arms and legs must be free and not bound.
The legs must sit on each side of the crotch strap.

CARE & MAINTENANCE
BUCKLE OPERATION
To ensure the buckle remains operational the inside of the buckle must be kept free of liquids, sand, dirt,
fluff, food or similar substances. If the buckle is not operating or you do not hear a strong audible click when
second tongue is inserted then the buckle needs to be washed or replaced. The buckle is fully engaged
when both tongues are inserted and a 'click' is heard. Contact Customer Service for assistance.
TO CLEAN HARNESS BUCKLE:
If sticky liquids such as baby formula, fruit juice, etc. get inside your
harness buckle, it may become sluggish. An indication of a sluggish
harness buckle is that you cannot hear a click when engaging the last
harness tongues. To restore the harness buckle to good working order it
needs to be cleaned as follows:
A. Remove the harness buckle from the restraint: From the underside of
the restraint pull each crotch strap 3-bar slide, turn the 3-bar slide on
its side and push back through the slot.
B. Place the harness buckle under warm (max. 40 degrees Celsius)
running water as shown below. Let the water run through the mouth
of the buckle for five minutes. Check the harness buckle is clean by
engaging the harness tongues and buckle several times until you
hear a click.
C. If you still cannot hear a strong audible click then repeat the cleaning
process several times.

time as the impact foam will absorb moisture. Before washing
re-engage the hook and loop on the cover to prevent the 'hook'
damaging the fabric.
The cover has been designed to protect your child when seated
in the restraint. Care should be taken if children either eat
or drink while in the restraint as some food or drink products
may cause damage or marking to the cover. Wash or clean
immediately.

Children must be secured in appropriate restraints at all times when the car is in motion. Children travelling
unrestrained and standing up in the car are in danger of serious injury or death. Traffic regulations in all
states require children to be secured in child restraints or adult seat belts where available.
Plan your trip with frequent comfort stops to reduce stress on babies, young children and driver. Keep the
car well ventilated to reduce heat stress. Car windows should be kept open to maintain a good flow of fresh
air.
Never leave babies or toddlers in a stationary car because of the risk of heat exhaustion.
Ensure babies and toddlers are adequately shaded from direct sunlight through side or rear windows.

IN CASE OF ACCIDENT
IN CASE OF ACCIDENT
If your restraint has been involved in a severe crash, you should destroy the restraint even if no damage
is obvious. Some insurance companies offer vehicle insurance which covers or partially covers the
replacement of your child restraint. Contact your insurance company for further details. Your insurance
company may require you to keep the child restraint for assessment, but do not use the child restraint
after a severe crash. To assist you in making an accident insurance claim cut the following statement and
include it with your claim.
NOTICE TO INSURANCE COMPANY CHILD
RESTRAINT INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT
All Britax Safe-n-Sound child restraints are manufactured to Australian/New Zealand
Standards AS/NZS1754-2013 which require us to advise users of child restraints to
"Destroy the entire restraint if it has been in use in a severe crash, even if no damage
is obvious". The joint Australian/New Zealand Standards committee CS/85, advise
that this statement applies whether a child was in the child restraint or not. A severe
crash, we consider as being one where the main body structure of the vehicle is
distorted.
There is no method of determining if the restraint has been damaged and we concur
with the Australian/New Zealand Standards in recommending destruction of the child
restraint.
This notice is to advise you of the requirements of the Australian/New Zealand
Standards and our obligation in complying with the standards.
Please assist the owner of this restraint in their claim.
CRASH EXCHANGE
We would never want you to experience an accident, but unfortunately accidents do happen.
If you experience an accident you may be eligible for a free replacement.
The Britax Safe-n-Sound Crash Exchange Program is a voluntary program designed to ensure that our
children are safe and that any seat that may have experienced a severe crash is taken out of the market.
There is no method of determining if the restraint has been damaged in a severe crash, so the restraint
should be destroyed as the crash may reduce the child restraints ability to perform.
Since its inception in 2006, the Crash Exchange program has helped 100’s of families ensure that their
children have new restraints and that the restraints are not sold second hand placing others at risk.
Our Crash Exchange Terms and Application form are accessible on our website. Please visit
www.britax.com.au for further information.
