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/NZS1754-2010 which requires 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. We consider a "server
crash" 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.
