BRITAX Child Safety, Inc. EMBLEM/ALLEGIANCE User Guide
Important Notes
• Do not install with the lower anchors for a child
weighing more than 40 lbs (18 kg) rear facing or 50 lbs
(22.7 kg) forward facing.
• Use this child seat in position 1 when installed with a
lap belt forward facing with a child over 40 lbs (18 kg).
• 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 Trac Safety Administration (NHTSA) as:
a. The vehicle is drivable from the crash site; and
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.
• Cover the child seat when the vehicle is parked in direct
sunlight. Metal parts of child seat could become hot and
burn a child.
• Store the child seat in a cool, dry 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.
• Never use the harness adjuster strap to lift or carry this
child seat. Doing so could cause damage to harness
adjuster and webbing. Always carry this child seat by its
shell or tether straps.
• Always make sure the child restraint system is
secured to the vehicle, even when unoccupied, since
in a crash an unsecured child restraint system may
injure occupants.
• To prevent injury due to deterioration or hidden
damage, discontinue use of this child seat if it is
older than seven years or has been in a moderate
or severe crash (see below). See Serial Number and
Manufactured Date Label on child seat (page 2).
• The use of non-Britax covers, inserts, toys,
accessories, or tightening devices is not approved
by Britax. Their use could cause this child seat not to
perform as intended in a crash.
• 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.
