TRAVELLING TIPS
CLOTHING/BATHING
Take several changes of clothing and bibs for possible car sickness. Disposable nappies and liners are
very handy while travelling. Since it is often warmer in the car, dress the baby in light clothing. When
cooler, it is easier to place a blanket over the baby than it is to remove the baby from the restraint and
change clothes.
FEEDING
Never breast feed a baby while car is in motion.
heat. For bottle fed babies, make up the bottles and refrigerate before leaving home for a day trip. Place
in a cool bag and reheat as needed with hot water from a thermos.
Alternatively, bring boiled water in a thermos and pre-measured amounts of baby formula in small
containers. Use the water from the thermos to mix with the formula when required. Regardless which
method is used, it is always a good plan to carry some boiled water in a sterile container or bottle.
Do not attempt to carry warm milk because germs multiply rapidly in warm milk.

INSTALLATION OF CAR ANCHOR FITTING
Consult the vehicle owner's handbook for location of anchorage fittings or anchorage points and the
possible use of spacers. Some vehicles may have an anchor fitting fitted by the vehicle manufacturer.
If anchorage points cannot be found refer to car manufacturer or local child restraint fitting station or
traffic authority for optimum position of anchorage point and the use of spacers.
UPPER ANCHORAGE STRAP
IMPORTANT:
THE ATTACHMENT CLIP COVER MUST ALWAYS BE USED AS IT PREVENTS THE RISK OF INCORRECT
FITMENT OF THE ATTACHMENT CLIP TO THE ANCHOR FITTING. ALWAYS ENSURE THAT THE
ATTACHMENT CLIP IS CORRECTLY ENGAGED TO THE ANCHOR FITTING AND NOT HOOKED OR
FITTED TO ANY OTHER OBJECT BEFORE EACH USE OF THE RESTRAINT. THIS IS ESPECIALLY
IMPORTANT IN VEHICLES SUCH AS STATION WAGONS, VANS, HATCH BACKS OR VEHICLES
WITHOUT A FIXED PARCEL SHELF, SINCE THE ANCHOR POINT IS USUALLY NOT VISIBLE.
IMPORTANT INSTALLATION NOTE:
In some vehicles the anchor fitting in the rear vertical panel can only be installed in one way. Please
refer to vehicle owner's handbook or a child restraint fitting station for correct method.
