FAQ
Q. How long can my child seat be used or when does it "expire"?A. Please refer to the user guide that came with your child seat to
determine its recommended useful life. Britax recommends that the use
of a child seat be discontinued after a certain number of years from
date of manufacture, depending on the seat, or if the seat has been
involved in a severe crash. Expiration dates are recommended for
various reasons: technology has changed, components degrade from the
environment (depending on how and where stored), parts get lost or
installed incorrectly, or instructions and labels may not be available
or not legible. After a child seat has met its expiration date, Britax
recommends that the child seat be destroyed.
|
Q. The labels and user guides for Britax booster seats no longer indicate the weight limit for the child. What has changed?A. The products have not changed. However, in March 2004, the National
Highway and Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) regulations changed
directing that only minimum and maximum height must be included in the
labeling. The weight limit is no longer required on labeling.
|
Q. What is the difference between a harnessed seat and a booster seat?A. Booster seats differ from a harnessed car seat in that a booster
seat, by definition, simply “boosts” the child up so that the vehicle
seat belt is positioned correctly across the child’s hips and shoulder.
Booster seats rely on the vehicle seat belts to hold both the child and
the booster seat in position.
Harnessed seats have an internal harness system that is used to restrain the child.
|
Q. When can I move my child from a harnessed seat or booster seat to the vehicle seat belt?A. Requirements for car seat use vary depending on the state or
province in which you reside. Britax recommends that you follow the
laws of your state/province as the minimum requirements for restraining
your child while traveling. Additionally, Britax recommends that you
continue to use the child seat system - convertible car seat, youth
seat, or booster seat - to the upper limits of its recommended use, or
until your child can fit properly in the adult seat belt.
For
adult seat belt use, as a minimum follow your state/province
requirements. The following are additional best practices recommended
by Britax. To be able to fit an adult seat belt, a child must:
- Be tall enough to sit without slouching
- Keep his/her back and buttocks against the vehicle seat back
- Keep his/her knees completely bent over the front edge of the vehicle seat
- Keep his/her feet flat on the floor
- Be able to stay comfortably seated this way, AND
- The vehicle seat belt must be positioned correctly across the child's hips and shoulder.
Also,
please keep in mind that state/province law does not always represent
best practice. We recommend that you follow the laws of your
state/province as the minimum requirements for restraining your child
while traveling.
|
Q. When can I move my child into a booster seat?A. Britax recommends that a child remain in a five-point harnessed seat
as long as possible. Check your state/province laws for additional
guidance on car seat and booster seat use.
Additional important points to consider when deciding on whether to move your child to a booster seat include:
- Child’s age
- Child’s height
- Child’s weight
- Child’s
maturity – whether the child is a wiggle worm or sleeps often in the
vehicle. If so, the booster seat may not be an appropriate selection.
Also,
please keep in mind that law does not always represent best practice.
We recommend that you follow the laws of your state/province as the
minimum requirements for restraining your child while traveling. |
