Installation
REAR-Facing Installation Harness Mode
Britax strongly recommends that children should ride REAR-
facing until they exceed the weight or height limits specified.
Use REAR-facing only:
• with harness straps in closest
position below the child's
shoulders, and
• with children weighing 5 - 50
lb (2.3 - 22.7 kg), and
• when the top of child's head
is at least 1 in (2.5 cm) below
the top edge of headrest.
For models with anti-rebound
bar:
Follow the instructions on page
17 to attach the anti-rebound
bar to the child restraint before
installing.
