Important Notes - Britax ADVOCATE Guia Del Usuario

• The primary protection for occupants of a vehicle in a
collision is the body of the vehicle itself; a child seat will
not protect a child when a vehicle is seriously impacted.
However, correctly installed, a child seat will substantially
improve chances for survival in most crashes. Make sure
all users fully understand the correct ways to use this child
seat in a vehicle.

Important Notes

• Before each use, check this child seat and its components to
make sure they are in good condition and good working order.
• Do not install with the lower anchors for a child weighing more
than:
ADVOCATE ONLY: 30 lbs (13.6 kg) rear facing or 35 lbs (15.8 kg)
forward facing.
BOULEVARD ONLY: 35 lbs (15.8 kg) rear facing or 40 lbs (18 kg)
forward facing.
• Do not use the top tether strap with rear-facing installations.
• Ensure that the shell cover is properly secured behind the red
markers to allow for proper functioning of the CLICKTIGHT
mechanism (see page 36).
• Ensure that the seat pan cover is properly secured behind
the CLICKTIGHT bar to allow for proper functioning of the
CLICKTIGHT mechanism (see page 37).
• Discontinue use of this child seat if it has been in a moderate
or severe crash. It is not necessary to replace a car seat after a
minor crash, defined by the US National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) as:
The vehicle is drivable from the crash site; and
a.
b. The vehicle door nearest the child seat was not
damaged; and
c. No vehicle occupants were injured; and
d. There is no visible damage to the child seat; and
e. The airbags (if present) did not deploy.
• Verify that the child restraint and child restraint belts or straps
do not interfere with the opening and closing of the vehicle
door.
• Consult vehicle user guide to ensure child restraint installation
does not interfere with function of vehicle seats.
• Snugly adjust the belts provided with the child restraint around
your child. A snug strap should not allow any slack. You should
not be able to pinch excess.
• Ensure the lower harness (waist) straps are firmly adjusted in a
position so that the child's pelvic area is secure.
• Ensure the upper harness (shoulder) straps are firmly adjusted
so that the child is secure.
• Never leave child unattended.
• Cover the child seat when the vehicle is parked in direct
sunlight. Metal parts of child seat could become hot enough to
burn a child.
• Store the child seat in a safe place when it is not being used.
Avoid placing heavy objects on top of it.
• Do not, except as described in this booklet, attempt to
disassemble any part of the child seat or change the way the
harness or vehicle's seat belts are used.
