IMPORTANT :
• Do not use the child restraint facing forwards. Do not use excessively upright or
reclined.
• 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 must be used in conjunction with a lap or lap-sash seat belt.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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
sit above the base moulding.
