IMPORTANT:
Take great care when doing this to avoid the combined weight of the wheelbase and
occupant overcoming your strength and tipping back onto you. Never try to tip the
wheelbase if the occupant is much heavier than you are.
11. Always look well ahead so that you have plenty of time to avoid hazards.
12. Be considerate to other people and watch out for pedestrians who may stop or
suddenly change direction.
8.2 Brakes
Always put the brake on when placing the child in or taking them out of the seat.
Do not leave the pushchair on a slope, even with the brake on. Always ensure that the
pushchair is on level ground to prevent risk of injury to the occupant.
Do not leave the brake on when the pushchair is not in use as this will damage the rear
wheels.
8.3 Comfort
1.
Always be considerate to the occupant.
2.
Before setting out on a journey make sure the occupant is comfortably and
correctly seated and that any safety harness is correctly fitted and adjusted.
Always ensure that both feet are supported and that clothing is tucked in and
cannot catch on doorways or other obstructions.
3.
Remember the occupant is in front of you. They will want to be part of your
conversations and interests. Also their view will be different to yours when it
comes to looking into shop windows, etc. it can be extremely frustrating to hear
something exciting being discussed when it is situated somewhere behind the
occupant’s eyes, and thus, out of sight.
