Important: Any harness fitted to the pushchair is for postural support only and
must not be used as a transport harness. The pelvic strap must be located as low
down over the hips as possible: It must not cross the stomach of the passenger.

Important:
In order to ensure that the Butterfly (Chest) harness can not rise up
and cause harm to the user, every time the harness is in use, you must ensure that
all cam buckles/fixings are properly closed and that the harness is correctly
positioned a minimum of 75mm below the user’s neckline. Failure to comply with
this could result in serious injury.

Remove any accessories such as a Pommel, Tray, Rainhood, Shopping
Basket or Carrying Tray.

The seat can either be set vertically or adjusted to a mid-tilt position for
transportation.
13.2 Attaching wheelbase to vehicle
1.
The Snappi Pushchair must be attached to the vehicle using a 4-point wheelchair
restraint that complies with one of the following: ISO 10542 Part 2, SAE2249 or
DIN 75078/2. NO other restraint system can be used.
Note: Such restraints are manufactured by Unwin Safety Systems & Q’Straint
2.
Only a trained person should attach the restraints.
3.
When fitting the restraints please refer to the manufacturer’s guidelines. Please
direct any concerns or queries regarding the restraint system to the original
supplier.
4.
Position the assembly correctly in the vehicle over the floor track with the front of
the wheelbase facing towards the front of the vehicle (in the direction of travel).
Put The Brakes On*
*The brakes are needed to prevent the pushchair moving whilst fitting the restraints. Once
the pushchair is correctly attached to the vehicle with a 4 point restraint system it is no
longer a requirement for the brakes to remain on.

prior to November 2012, attach the
front restraints to the floor track and

crossbar and vertical tubes meet,
