How To Install Britax With Seat Belt And Lock-Offs

Are you wondering how to install BRITAX on your car? Here is a guide how to install BRITAX that may be enough to help you. Follow the instructions given and you will get maximum results.

In the spirit of continuous improvement, BRITAX has  revised the lock-off installation method for all BRITAX U.S.A. next generation convertible car seats (ROUNDABOUT 55, MARATHON 70, BOULEVARD 70, BOULEVARD 70 CS, ADVOCATE 70 CS), allowing you to use  only the lock-off closest to your vehicle  seat buckle  instead of requiring  you to use  both  lock-offs. This change applies to both  rear- and  forward-facing installations and  eliminates the occasional convenience button interference issues that have  been observed. This change only applies to U.S.A. car seats; Canadian child seats have  always  been produced utilizing the single  lock-off installation method.


What is a convenience button?

The convenience button is a small plastic  button or sometimes a piece of folded  vehicle  seat belt on your vehicle  shoulder belt that keeps the latch plate  from sliding down  into the bight (crack)  of your vehicle  seat.

Different actions may be required depending on when  your child seat was manufactured. To determine when  your child seat was manufactured, refer to the images below.

If your seat was  manufactured before July 30, 2010:

•   Your child seat user  guide  will instruct  you to use  both lock-offs when  installing your seat using  the vehicle seat belt.

•   If you are NOT experiencing any issues, including interference from the convenience button, then  you may continue to use  both  lock-offs.

•   If you would like to install your seat using  one  lock-off, please contact the BRITAX customer service department (888-427-4829) to receive a free conversion kit.

If your seat was  manufactured on or between July 30, 2010  and October 4, 2010:

•   Your child seat user  guide  will instruct  you to use  both lock-offs when  installing your seat using  the vehicle  seat belt.

•   If you are NOT experiencing any issues, including interference from the convenience button, then  you may continue to use  both  lock-offs.

•   If you would like to install your seat using  one  lock-off, your car seat lock-offs have  been manufactured to allow for single  lock-off use. Please refer to the Alternative User Guide – Single  Lock-Off Version or the Instructional Demo  featuring  Single  Lock-Off Installation Instructions found  on the Installation Videos  & User Guides page of our website
(http://www.britaxusa.com/customer- service/user-guides) for instruction on how to install your seat using  one  lock-off. You may also  obtain  a free printed  version  of this revised user  guide  by contacting the BRITAX customer service department.
