Precautions to prevent reducing the
safety offered by this booster seat.
With In-built Harness
1.
Ensure seatbelt is fitted to the seat and is tight.
2.
Ensure upper anchorage strap is attached to the car's anchor fitting and slack is removed.
3.
Ensure the in-built harness is fitted firmly to the child. A loose harness is dangerous.
As a Booster Seat
1.
Ensure seatbelt is fitted to the seat.
2.
Ensure the seatbelt is used and fitted correctly. The lap belt must be on thighs and not the abdomen
and the sash belt must always be across the chest.
3.
Ensure the child does not slouch or slump and the sash belt is across the chest.
4.
A sash belt under the arm or behind the back is dangerous. (A child harness can resolve this).
5.
Ensure that if you are using a child harness that the lap belt is firm on the child’s thighs and not on
the abdomen. Do not tighten the child harness tether strap, just remove slack.
6.
Always use the Sash Guide in the headrest. Always use the SLIDEGUARD™ Converter.
7.
Ensure you advise the child not to undo the seat belt buckle unless told to do so.
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.
IN CASE OF ACCIDENT
All Safe-n-Sound child restraints are manufactured to Australian/New Zealand
Standards AS/NZS1754-2010 which require 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. A severe crash, we consider 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.
