IMPORTANT :
• Protect all webbing from abrasion and cutting by sharp corners and edges.
• This restraint must be used facing forward and in conjunction with a lap-sash seat belt or
converted seatbelt and approved child harness.
• 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 contact the child.
• This child restraint is not approved for use with any connectors that connect to the car's
ISOFIX low anchorages
• Do not use in a front seat, unless your child is over 4 years of age or in accordance with the
applicable Road Rules in your region. Research shows that children under 12 years old are
at a greater risk of serious injury when travelling in the front seat.
• Do not use on any vehicle seat which faces sideways or rearwards.
• Use of aftermarket accessories (i.e. items not provided in the box with the child restraint),
can reduce the safety provided by the child restraint and may cause injury or death.
• Use a towel or seat protector (messy mat) to protect the vehicle seat. Protection of both
underneath and behind the booster seat may be required.
• Do not store in hot places or underneath heavy objects. The plastic may distort.
• 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.
• Regularly check the restraint components, straps and other fitments for correct function,
cracking & condition. Seek immediate repair.
• Do not lift the seat by the headrest or the Side Wings.
