Using your SPEX Wonderseat

•  Ensure the child’s arms are raised above the arm supports when raising the backrest from 

recline or remove the supports prior to raising the backrest angle to protect the child with 

potential pinch points with the mechanisms, lateral trunk, pelvic supports and arm supports.

•  Ensure the child’s fingers are clear of the base of the backrest or it’s tubes when reclining 

because there is a potential crush point between this and the cushion.

•  When using the hip belt or shoulder harness, ensure the position of the harness is anatomically 

correct. Ensure the pad is not impeding on the throat.

•  Do not leave the user exposed to the sun. The canopy/sun-hood on this product will not give 

the user protection from the harmful rays of the sun.

•  Care must be taken when transferring a user from the SPEX Wonderseat. The user may fall 

from the stroller and injure themselves when supports are removed. 

•  Secure the user with all the straps provided as soon as the transfer is complete.
•  Ensure the child’s fingers and clothes are well clear of the tray receiver when re-engaging the 

tray table.

Adjusting your SPEX Wonderseat

•  Take care when tilting the seat, ensure that the child’s arms and clothes are clear of the rear of 

the arm support and far enough forward to keep clear of the stroller’s tubes.

•  Be aware of the pinch points. Ensure all body parts are kept clear during these movements and 

adjustments.

•  Ensure the straps are adjusted for the user and for changes of clothing. Ensure the straps are 

fitted under the pelvic support and fitted snugly to ensure correct posture and safety. 

•  Ensure the child’s fingers and clothes are well clear of any slots at all times, especially when 

making adjustments to the supports or tilting/reclining the seat.

•  Keep all fingers and clothes away from any moving mechanisms or adjusting components to 

avoid potential pinches and crushes. 

•  After making any adjustments, ensure all fasteners and knobs are firmly tightened again.
•  When removing the pelvic/arm supports or swinging away the lateral trunk supports, ensure 

the user is supported by a carer to prevent the user from falling out of the product.
