IN CASE OF ACCIDENT

If your restraint has been involved in a severe crash, you should destroy the restraint even if no
damage is obvious. Some insurance companies offer vehicle insurance which covers or partially
covers the replacement of your child restraint. Contact your insurance company for further
details.

Your insurance company may require you to keep the child restraint for assessment,

To assist you in making an accident insurance claim

cut the following statement and include it with your claim.

but do not

use the child restraint after a severe crash.

All Safe-n-Sound child restraints are manufactured to Australian/New Zealand
Standards AS/NZS1754-2004 which require us to advise users of child restraints
to "Destroy the entire restraint if it has been in use in a severe crash, even if no
damage is obvious". The joint Australian/New Zealand Standards committee
CS/85, advise that this statement applies whether a child was in the child
restraint or not. A severe crash, we consider as being one where the main body
structure of the vehicle is distorted.

There is no method of determining if the restraint has been damaged and we
concur with the Australian/New Zealand Standards in recommending destruction
of the child restraint.

This notice is to advise you of the requirements of the Australian/New Zealand
Standards and our obligation in complying with the standards.

Please assist the owner of this restraint in their claim.
