Important safety points
DO read these instructions before
fitting the car seat in your car so that
you may be familiar with it and avoid
any dangerous misuse.
Premature babies of less than 37 weeks
gestation may be at special risk in a car.
Such a baby may experience breathing
difficulties while reclined in a car seat.
We advise that you have your doctor or
hospital staff examine your baby and
recommend the proper car seat or car bed
before you and your baby leave the hospital.
DO NOT USE YOUR CAR SEAT ON ANY
PASSENGER SEAT WHERE AN AIRBAG IS
FITTED.
DO take care to locate and install the car
seat so that it is not liable to become trapped
by a moveable seat or in a door of the
vehicle.
DO make sure that the harness is
properly adjusted at all times and that
the straps are not twisted.
AVOID seating a passenger directly behind
the car seat. If a passenger must sit directly
behind the car seat, put the lightest person
there. In the event of an accident, a heavy
passenger is more likely to injure your child
than a light one.
DO make it a firm family rule that
everyone in the car always buckles up
for every trip. This sets a good example
for young children and ensures better
cooperation over the years. Also, an
unrestrained child or adult can be thrown into
other passengers and cause serious injury or
death in a crash.
DO NOT ever take a baby out of the
car seat for any reason while vehicle is
in motion. If your baby needs attention, find a
safe place and pull off the road.
DO store your car seat in a safe place when
not being used. Avoid putting heavy things on
top of it.
DO always check the security of your car
seat before each journey.
DO regularly check all child restraints for
wear and tear.
