IN CASE OF ACCIDENT
IN CASE OF ACCIDENT
CRASH EXCHANGE
We would never want you to experience an accident, but unfortunately accidents do
happen.
If you experience an accident you may be eligible for a free replacement.
The Safe-n-Sound Crash Exchange Program is a voluntary program designed to
ensure that our children are safe and that any seat that may have experienced a
severe crash is taken out of the market.
There is no method of determining if the restraint has been damaged in a severe
crash, so the restraint should be destroyed as the crash may reduce the child
restraints ability to perform.
Since its inception in 2006, the Crash Exchange program has helped 100’s of
families ensure that their children have new restraints and that the restraints are not
sold second hand placing others at risk.
Our Crash Exchange Terms and Application form are accessible on our website.
Please visit
www.britax.com.au for further information.
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 "server 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.
