IN CASE OF ACCIDENT
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.
All Britax Safe-n-Sound child restraints are manufactured to Australian/New Zealand
Standards AS/NZS1754-2013 which require 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. A severe
crash, we consider 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.
