Some vehicle seat covers made from sensitive materials (e.g. velour,

leather, etc.) may develop wear marks when car seats and bases

are used. This can be avoided by placing the Vehicle Seat Protector

between the Doona ISOFIX Base and the vehicle seat.

In an accident, enormous forces occur.
Never try to secure a child on your lap with
the vehicle seat belt or by holding onto
them.
