UPPER ANCHORAGE STRAP
IMPORTANT:
THE ATTACHMENT CLIP COVER (SEE FIGURE 4 ON THE
PREVIOUS PAGE) MUST ALWAYS BE USED AS IT PREVENTS
THE RISK OF INCORRECT FITMENT OF THE ATTACHMENT
CLIP TO THE ANCHOR FITTING. ALWAYS ENSURE THAT THE
ATTACHMENT CLIP IS CORRECTLY ENGAGED TO THE ANCHOR
FITTING AND NOT HOOKED OR FITTED TO ANY OTHER OBJECT
BEFORE EACH USE OF THE RESTRAINT. THIS IS ESPECIALLY
IMPORTANT IN VEHICLES SUCH AS STATION WAGONS, VANS,
HATCH BACKS OR VEHICLES WITHOUT A FIXED PARCEL
SHELF, SINCE THE ANCHOR POINT IS USUALLY NOT VISIBLE.
The restraint strap & Attachment Clip may be damaged or
disconnected by unsecured vehicle contents. To ensure a
secure engagement, before each use of the restraint follow this
procedure:
A.
Secure or remove any vehicle contents.
B.
Remove slack from the Upper Anchorage Strap and ensure
that strap is not twisted. The strap does not need to be tight as
it may lift the seat belt off the child’s thighs.
C.
Make sure the Attachment Clip is correctly engaged.

IN CASE OF ACCIDENT
If your restraint has been involved in a severe crash, you should
destroy the restraint even if no damage is obvious. Some
insurance companies offer vehicle insurance which covers or
partially covers the replacement of your child restraint. Contact
your insurance company for further details.
Your insurance company may require you to keep the child
restraint for assessment,
but do not use the child restraint after a
severe crash.
To assist you in making an accident insurance claim
cut the following statement and include it with your claim.
All Safe-n-Sound child restraints are manufactured to
Australian/New Zealand Standards AS/NZS1754-2010 which
requires us to advise users of child restraints to "Destroy the
entire restraint if it has been in use in a severe crash, even
if no damage is obvious". The joint Australian/New Zealand
Standards committee CS/85, advise that this statement
applies whether a child was in the child restraint or not. We
consider a "severe crash" as being one where the main body
structure of the vehicle is distorted.
There is no method of determining if the restraint has been
damaged and we concur with the Australian/New Zealand
Standards in recommending destruction of the child restraint.
This notice is to advise you of the requirements of the
Australian/New Zealand Standards and our obligation in
complying with the standards.
Please assist the owner of this restraint in their claim.
