Important Points When Using The Sunhood & Rainshield
•
In warm conditions (e.g. inside building, warm days etc.), ensure you undo the
hook & loop flap at the front of the rain shield and fold it back to prevent the
occupant of the pushchair from overheating. On some occasions undoing the
flap may not be sufficient to keep the occupant cool, as such you may need to
completely remove the rainshield.
•
We do not recommend ever leaving the child unattended when using the
pushchair. Additional care should be taken when using the sunhood and
transparent rainshield, to ensure neither the sunhood nor rainshield are too
close to the
child’s face.
•
Using the sunhood to protect a child from sunlight is not a substitute to using
sun cream/sun protection.
•
Always ensure both the sun hood and rainshield are dry before folding for
storage. Do not put either of these items near a heat source as this will
damage the material. In addition, please make sure you do not store the
rainshield in direct sunlight as the heat may melt the adhesive. Both items
can be wiped clean using a damp cloth.
•
The sunhood and rainshield must be removed when folding the wheelbase.
•
The sunhood and rain shield must be removed when using the pushchair in a
wheelchair adapted vehicle. Full transport instructions can be found in your
Snappi User Manual.
•
Although the sunhood is made of showerproof black fabric, it is still necessary
to use the transparent rainshield to protect the occupant from the rain.
•
If you remove the screws from the hood for any reason, please ensure that
you screw them back on to the hood through the hole in the fabric. Do not try
to stretch the hole over the screw as you may damage the material.
•
Always check that the thumb screws are tight to prevent them from falling off.
