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.
IN CASE OF CRASH
IN CASE OF CRASH
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.
This Safe-n-Sound child restraint is manufactured to Australian/New Zealand Standards AS/
NZS1754-2013 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.
