Britax Y2K 03.A Manual Do Utilizador

• When using in vehicle with air bags, always refer to the vehicle

owner’s manual for child restraint installation instructions and
precautions.

• Never use the adjuster strap to lift or carry this child restraint. Doing

so could cause damage to the harness adjuster and webbing.
Always carry a child restraint by the handle or shell.

• The primary protection for occupants of a vehicle in a collision is

the structure of the vehicle; a child restraint will not protect an
infant when the vehicle is seriously impacted. However, correctly
installed, a child restraint will substantially improve the chances
for survival in most crashes. Make sure that all users fully
understand the correct ways to use this child restraint in a
vehicle.

• This child restraint must not be used in boats, or other non-

certified applications.

• NEVER leave child unattended.
• NEVER place carrier on beds, sofas, or other soft surfaces. Infant

carrier can roll over on soft surfaces and suffocate the child. 

• NEVER use in or on strollers unless approved by Britax.
• NEVER install forward facing in a vehicle.
• NEVER place carrier near edges of counter tops, tables, or other

elevated surfaces. Child’s movement can slide carrier.

• NEVER leave child carrier when straps are loose or undone. Child

can strangle in loose restraint straps.

• Carrier in shopping carts can be dangerous.
• Watch your child closely when restraint is not installed in a vehicle

to avoid tipping over and strangulation.

• Harness must be used at all times when child is in carrier.

• Use only in a rear facing position when using this restraint in the

vehicle. This infant restraint cannot be used forward facing in a
vehicle.

• Use only with children who weigh between 4 and 22 pounds (2

and 10 kg) and whose height is 30 inches (76 cm) or less.

• Snugly adjust the belts provided with this restraint around your

child. A snug strap should not allow any slack. It lies in a relatively
straight line without sagging. It does not press on the child’s flesh
or push the child’s body into an unnatural position.

• An optional Low Birth Weight Foam insert may be used to help

obtain a snug fit for infants whose weight is less than 7 pounds
(3 kg.). To order optional foam, call Britax at 1-888-4BRITAX.

• Secure this child restraint with the vehicle’s child restraint

anchorage system if available or with a vehicle belt.

• Follow all instructions labeled on the child restraint and in these

written instructions.

• According to accident statistics, the National Highway Traffic

Safety Administration recommends that parents select the rear
seat as the safest location for a properly installed child restraint.
Please study the sections on Vehicle Safety Belts and  Vehicle
Seating Positions

in this booklet to ensure the child’s safety. If in

doubt about installing the child restraint, consult the vehicle
owner’s manual.

• Secure this child restraint even when it is not occupied. In a

crash, an unsecured child restraint may injure vehicle occupants.

• Consult your child’s doctor before using this child restraint. Some

infants must be secured with a device that allows them to lie flat.
