IMPORTANT INFORMATION
AND WARNINGS
TO BE USED WITH A LAP-SASH OR LAP-ONLY SEATBELT OR ISOFIX LOW
ANCHORAGES IN THE BACK OF MOST CARS WITH FORWARD FACING SEATS.
GENERAL
•
Do not attach the lower attachment connectors of two separate child restraints to the
same ISOFIX low anchorages in your car.
•
Always attach the top tether strap to the child restraint upper anchorage in your car.
•
Child restraint lower attachment connectors and the ISOFIX low anchorages in your car
are designed to withstand only those loads imposed by a correctly fitted child restraint.
•
Babies and children below 4 years old must not sit in the front seat of a vehicle unless
allowable by the Regional Road Rules. Check your Regional Road Rules.
•
Protect all webbing from abrasion and cutting by sharp corners and edges.
•
The restraint should not be purchased or sold as a second hand item. It is recommended
not to use child restraints older than 10 years as the protection in an accident may be
reduced.
•
THIS RESTRAINT IS NOT SUITABLE FOR USE WHERE THE TOP TETHER STRAP MAY
FALL INTO A SPLIT IN THE SEAT BACK OR OFF THE SIDE OF THE SEAT.
•
Seatbelt extenders are not recommended to be used if the seatbelt is not long enough to
secure the child restraint. If seatbelts are too short then seek advice from a child restraint
fitter and consider their recommendations before using a seatbelt extender. If you use
a seatbelt extender then ensure that the seatbelt buckle does not enter the rearward or
forward facing belt paths.
•
A rear facing child restraint should not be used in the front seat if a passenger airbag is
fitted and cannot be disabled.
•
Ensure babies and toddlers are adequately shaded from direct sunlight through side or
rear windows.
•
Check the car is ventilated by opening windows or using the car's ventilation system
taking in external air. Recirculation setting is not suitable for providing ventilation.
•
THIS RESTRAINT MUST BE ATTACHED TO A CHILD RESTRAINT UPPER ANCHORAGE
POINT IN THE CAR. REFER TO CAR OWNER'S HANDBOOK FOR LOCATION OF
UPPER ANCHORAGE POINTS. REFER TO A CHILD RESTRAINT FITTING STATION IF
NO UPPER ANCHORAGE POINTS ARE IN THE MOTOR CAR. Refer to pages 87 to 91.
