Vital Information - READ NOW

DO NOT under any circumstances use a rearward facing seat on

passenger seats fitted with airbags.

DO NOT use as a forward facing seat on passenger seats fitted

with a front airbag unless your vehicle manufacturer confirms it is safe.

DO NOT Use the First Class Si on side facing vehicle seats.

DO NOT Use the First Class Si on rearward facing vehicle seats.

DO follow these user guide instructions in the order shown and get to know your

First Class Si before installing it in the car.

DO keep this user guide safe for future reference. There is a storage facility for it on

the recline foot.

DO make sure that you adjust the harness to fit the clothes your child is wearing

before each journey - a fitting for winter clothes may be too slack for a child

wearing summer clothes.

DO cover the First Class Si if your car is left in direct sunshine. Metal and plastic

fittings can become hot to touch in sunny weather and the cover may become

faded.

DO always keep the First Class Si secure. Even if it is not being used by your child.

DO make sure the vehicle seat-belt is only used in the seat-belt guides described in

this user guide.

Frequently asked questions

No child seat is escape proof

Harness systems cannot be designed to be completely “child proof” and yet comply

with the legal requirements of European Standard ECE R44. The harness must be

fastened and adjusted correctly at all times and children encouraged to remain

within the harness system.

Second-hand car seats

The Hampshire Trading Standards Authority and Britax advise that child car seats

should not be bought or sold second-hand. Many seats sold through local

advertising and car-boot sales have been found to be dangerous. Please dispose of

your child car seat safely.

Does the First Class Si fit all cars?

All makes, models and years of car differ from one another and it is not

guaranteed that this restraint will fit your car. For advice as to the suitability of

this restraint for your car please call our Customer Service Helpline on 01264

386034. Alternatively visit Fit-Finder on our web site at www.britax.co.uk

When do I need to use the newborn insert?

The newborn insert is designed to allow babies to fit the seat comfortably when

used in rearward installation. It is designed for use from newborn to a

maximum of 3 months.

Can I put my child in the First Class Si facing forward before they reach 9kg in

weight? No, the weight range corresponds to the European standard applying to car

seats and the First Class Si has been tested and approved for forward facing

installation from 9kg. In addition to weighing 9kg, your child should be able to sit

unaided with confidence.

When do I adjust the harness to the correct height for my child?

When you first purchase the First Class Si, then periodically as your child

grows. (see ‘Changing the height of the shoulder straps’ on page 8)

Can I buy a spare cover in the same fabric I currently have?

Spare covers are available in SELECTED fabrics only. To find out which fabrics

you can choose please contact our Customer Service Helpline on 01264 386034

What do I do if the harness buckle does not click when I fasten it?

Follow the instructions “Removing and cleaning the harness buckle” on page 24

When should I install the seat facing rearwards?

The First Class Si should be installed rearward facing for all new born babies

and babies up to 13kg in weight.

Using the First Class Si

Preparing to install the First Class Si in the car

IMPORTANT - You must adjust the height of shoulder straps of the harness

to the correct position for your child BEFORE installing the First Class Si in

the car, as they cannot be adjusted once installed in the car.

Adjusting the Harness

Unfasten the buckle by pressing the red

harness buckle button (a) and place your child

in the seat. Fit the harness around your child.

To fasten the buckle (b); first fit the two upper

sections together as shown, then push them

firmly into the lower section until you hear a

positive click.

With one hand, press and hold down the

harness release button. Then, with the other

hand below the chest pads, pull the shoulder

straps forwards.

Check the harness is not twisted, then gently

pull the harness up to tighten the lap sections

which are designed to fit low down on your

child's body.

Pull the adjuster strap forward making sure the

harness is a comfortable but FIRM fit around

your child. Make sure the harness straps are

not twisted.

Finally, pull both chest pads down from your

child's shoulders onto the chest.

5REMEMBER - The chest pads

are an important safety feature

NEVER use the First Class Si

without them.

Now check the height of the shoulder straps as shown below.

Checking the height of the shoulder straps

IMPORTANT – If your baby weighs less than 13kg, refer to ‘The height of the

shoulder straps (rearward facing use)’. If your baby weighs 9-18kg, refer to ‘The

height & shoulder straps (forward facing use)’.

NO - Too high YES - Correct NO - Too high

Undo the harness and go to Changing the Height of the Shoulder Straps on page 8

To fit your child into the First Class Si refer to ‘Fitting the First Class Si (rearward

facing) on page 11

The shoulder straps MUST be threaded through the slots in the cover and shell

nearest the top of your child’s shoulders. If in any doubt use the slot just below the

shoulder rather than above it.

Undo the harness and go to Changing the Height of the Shoulder Straps on page 8

To fit your child into the First Class Si refer to ‘Fitting the First Class Si (forward

The shoulder straps MUST be threaded through the slots in the cover and shell

nearest the top of your child’s shoulders. If in any doubt always use the slot above

the shoulder rather than below it.

Once you reach the top slots your child may continue to use the seat until their eye

line becomes level with the top of the seat shell or their weight exceeds 18kg.

Changing the height of the shoulder straps

IMPORTANT - You must adjust the height of the shoulder straps before

you install your child seat in a car.

Removing your child from the First Class Si

To help prevent the harness from

twisting when you remove your child

from the seat, loosen the harness by

pulling below the chest pads, press the

harness buckle button to undo the

harness and then lay the shoulder straps

on the outside of the seat as shown.

Carefully place the First Class Si on the floor.

With one hand press in and hold the harness

release button. With your other hand below

the chest pads, pull the shoulder straps

forward as far as possible to loosen the

harness.

With the First Class Si fully reclined, open the

seat-belt guard at the back of the shell. Pull

the yoke out from behind the seat and unhook

one shoulder strap.

Handy Tip -You will find it

easier to do one shoulder strap

at a time and make sure that the

buckle is fastened.

Pull the shoulder strap and the chest pad

strap forward and towards the centre of the

hand to help angle the metal

tab into the slot if necessary.
