CHILD SAFETY
(continued)
•
No modifications may be made to the component parts of the restraint system (belts and seats and their
mountings) fitted originally.
•
Follow carefully the fitting instructions provided by the manufacturer of the restraint system.
• Always avoid dressing the child in bulky garments and do not place any objects between the child and the restraint
system.
• The seat belt in the vehicle must be taut so that the child's seat is held in position securely. Check the tension
regularly.
• Never wear the belt under the arm or behind the back.
• The harness or belt should be taut and fitted to suit the child's stature.
• Never allow your child to stand up or kneel on the seats while the vehicle is moving.
• Check that the child is in the correct position for the entire journey, particularly when he or she is asleep.
• Use the seat belts to hold the seat in position, even if it is not occupied. Otherwise, if an accident were to occur, it may
become dislodged and pose a risk to other vehicle occupants.
• Following a serious accident have the seat belts and restraint systems in use at the time checked.
•
Never leave a child unsupervised in a vehicle, even if he/she is in a restraint device.
•
Make sure the child does not get out of the vehicle at the side where there is traffic.
• Set your children a good example - always wear your seat belt.
