IN CASE OF CRASH

The Infant Carrier and base is installed so that the infant is facing rearwards. This provides best position in a crash for infants.

This Infant Carrier provides the ability to fit low birth weight or premature babies and has been tested with a special dummy to verify its capability.

No child restraint can guarantee absolute protection from injury in every crash. However, to ensure that your child gets all the protection designed into the restraint, PLEASE READ AND FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY and use only Safe-n-Sound recommended parts and accessories.

Carefully read all the instructions for installation in this book. If in doubt about the method of installation, consult Britax childcare or agent or a child restraint fitter or, in New Zealand, to consult the agent for the vehicle.

If you have purchased this product with ISOFIX compatibility, the base is fitted with ISOFLEX™ connection straps on each side, with an ISOFIX compatible connector and tension indicators.

If fitted with the ISOFLEX™ connectors, the base may also be fitted to a centre position using the car's seatbelt.

The Infant Carrier is suitable for fitting to a variety of Britax, Steelcraft and BOB Strollers using one of the adaptor systems. For compatible Strollers refer to www.britax.com.au.

Britax Click & Go™ Adaptor is required for some strollers.

Britax Childcare Pty. Ltd. continues to provide care for your children when travelling in motor cars with a range of child restraints suitable throughout their childhood.

Regional Road Rules restrict the use of child restraints, like this Infant Carrier, in the front seat of the car. Check your local Road Rules.

Always store the instruction book in the place provided in the base when the Infant Carrier is removed.

USING THE INFANT CARRIER

INSTALLING THE BASE

Remove all packaging from the Infant Carrier. Remove the ISOFIT insertion guides (page 18, Ref 31) from the supplied location and store safely for further use.

Consult the car owner’s handbook for location of top tether anchorage points.

If there is no child restraint anchor fitting or child restraint anchor point refer to pages 58 to 62 for the installation of the anchor fitting as well as the use of extension straps.

An anchor fitting is required to attach the top tether strap to fully install the Carrier to the car. The top tether strap must be used with this infant carrier when used in the car.

For installing the Base to the car, select a seating position with a child restraint anchor fitting directly behind the seating position.

ADJUSTING THE BASE ANGLE

A. Place the base and Infant Carrier on vehicle seat

in a seating position where a child restraint anchor fitting is installed. The Level Indicator Line needs to be level with the road, (i.e. parallel with the road surface). Check and adjust the Levelling knob of the base if necessary.

B. If your car’s seat is contoured then you may need

to adjust the angle of the base so your baby is not too upright.

The angle may be altered by turning the base levelling knob located at the rebound bar end which will cause the levelling foot to extend from the under side of the base.

WHAT ARE ISOFIX LOW ANCHORAGES IN A VEHICLE?

ISOFIX low anchorages are fixed, standardised anchoring points for securely installing an ISOFIX compatible child restraint in a vehicle with ISOFIX low anchorages. It has now become an international standard for vehicles. This anchoring technology minimises installation mistakes by optimising the protective effect of a solid connection between vehicle and ISOFIX compatible child restraint.

INSTALLING THE BASE INTO THE CAR

(USING ISOFLEX CONNECTORS IF FITTED)

To prevent damage to vehicle seat it may be necessary

to remove or open a trim covering the ISOFIX low anchorages.

A. Locate the ISOFIX Low Anchorages in the vehicle

seat bight. The location may be identified by one of the following symbols, or the anchorage bars may be visible.

If you cannot locate them, check your vehicle owners manual.

B. If necessary, clip the two insertion guides to the two ISOFIX fastening points of the

vehicle seat (between seat and backrest). Tab must be upwards. Allow the guides to rise so they hook on to the ISOFIX low anchor bars. The guides are provided to allow easier alignment of the child restraint. The guides are not required where anchors are visible or there are already guides provided in the vehicle seat.

FOR LOW BIRTH WEIGHT BABIES

The Infant Carrier is supplied with harness setup to suit an average birth weight, new born infant (approx 3.4kg). However, if your child is low birth weight or premature then you may need to reposition the harness to the "smaller infant" position, as follows:

Move the crotch strap to the inner slot (see page 37) the lap straps to the inner slots (see page 36) and the shoulder strap to the inner slot see page 38. This will provide better support for smaller babies.

HARNESS FEATURES

If the infant is newborn and over 3kg, generally you will need to use either slot or and crotch strap position . Assess the harness fitment and adjust as necessary by following Setting Up The Harness, see page 39.

For low birth weight or premature babies with breathing difficulties or medical concerns, we recommend you seek medical advice before travelling.

HOW TO USE

PLACING INFANT IN CARRIER

If your child is of low birth weight or less than 3kg then you will probably need to use the harness arrangement for low birth weight babies. Refer to page 35. When positioning baby into Infant Carrier make sure baby's back is fully supported onto the flat section and the baby's nappy area (bottom) is resting in the bottom curvature as shown. It is recommended that bulky nappies are not used when baby is travelling in the Infant Carrier as they can cause incorrect positioning of the baby's back in the Infant Carrier.

HOW TO USE

CAUTION:

Do not harness an infant wrapped in a blanket or swaddled as this increases the risk of ejection and injury or death in a crash. The harness needs to fit firmly to the baby, any blanket or other covering may be placed over the harness after the harness is adjusted. Arms and legs must be free and not bound. The legs must sit on each side of the crotch strap.

HOW TO USE

E. Fit either harness buckle tongues into the harness buckle

followed by the other tongue. A click is heard when the last tongue is fully engaged. Should the second tongue not insert - press the red button and reinsert the tongues. Ensure secure engagement by pulling harness straps. If the harness buckle does not engage correctly then it may require cleaning or need replacement

- refer to page 52. The buckle tongues are fully engaged

when both tongues are inserted and 'click' is heard.

TRAVELLING TIPS

SAFETY

Never hold a baby in arms when riding in a motor vehicle. In this position the baby could be thrown against the dashboard, windscreen or other occupant and suffer serious injury or death.

When riding in a motor vehicle never nurse a baby and use the same seat belt for both of you. In this position the baby or child could be crushed.

Never breast feed a baby while car is in motion.

Children must be secured in appropriate restraints at all times when the car is in motion. Children travelling unrestrained and standing up in the car are in danger of serious injury or death. Traffic regulations in all states require children to be secured in child restraints or adult seat belts where available.

Plan your trip with frequent comfort stops to reduce stress on babies, young children and driver. Keep the car well ventilated to reduce heat stress. Car windows should be kept open to maintain a good flow of fresh air.

Never leave babies or toddlers in a stationary car because of the risk of heat exhaustion.

Ensure babies and toddlers are adequately shaded from direct sunlight through side or rear windows.

Check the car is ventilated by use opening windows or using the car's ventilation system taking in external air. Recirculation setting is not suitable for providing ventilation.

Be on guard against carbon monoxide poisoning which can occur through only a slight leak in the exhaust system while travelling in a closed car.

Securely stow all heavy objects, feeding bottles, etc. that could become missiles during an accident and cause injury to any occupant.

CLOTHING/BATHING

Since it is often warmer in the car, dress the baby in light clothing.

Do not harness an infant wrapped in a blanket or swaddled. Any blanket or wrap must only be placed over the harness and infant.

CRASH EXCHANGE

We would never want you to experience an accident, but unfortunately accidents do happen.

If you experience an accident you may be eligible for a free replacement.

The Safe-n-Sound Crash Exchange Program is a voluntary program designed to ensure that our children are safe and that any seat that may have experienced a severe crash is taken out of the market.

There is no method of determining if the restraint has been damaged in a severe crash, so the restraint should be destroyed as the crash may reduce the child restraints ability to perform.

Since its inception in 2006, the Crash Exchange program has helped 100’s of families ensure that their children have new restraints and that the restraints are not sold second hand placing others at risk.

Our Crash Exchange Terms and Application form are accessible on our website. Please visit www.britax.com.au for further information.

IN CASE OF CRASH

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, but do not use the child restraint after a severe crash. To assist you in making an accident insurance claim cut the following statement and include it with your claim.

This Safe-n-Sound child restraint is manufactured to Australian/New Zealand Standards AS/

NZS1754-2013 which requires 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. We consider a "severe crash" 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.
