ALTERNATIVE INSTALLATION IF SEATBELT LOOSENS

D.

 Feed the straps through the Gated 3-Bar Slide to 

remove any slack.

Use this seat belt configuration to install the child restraint 

according to the instructions on pages 21 to 22.

         IMPORTANT: 

Remove the gated 3 bar 
slide from the seat belt as 
soon as the child restraint 
is removed so that an adult 
can  use  the  seat  belt  as  a          
lap-sash seatbelt.

When fitting the Curved Gated Slide, the seat belt route 

can only go one way, as shown above.

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 "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.
