The Firefly GoTo is
the goto portable seat
for enhancing lives
through participation.

It’s a safe, supportive
multipurpose seat,
great for your home
or on the go.

SECTION 1. Intended Use

The Goto seat has been designed to provide additional
upper body support for children with disabilities. The seat
must be attached to a secondary rigid support for stability
and safety at all times. The Goto seat is for occasional
use and therefore is not intended to be used as the
primary seating system for a disabled child. The GoTo Seat
must be securely attached to a rigid support by
a minimum of one back strap and we recommend also
using the seat base strap. If the secondary rigid support
is not stable then the child should not be placed in to
the seat. We cannot accept responsibility for any use
of the product outside of its intended use. The GoTo
Seat is available in 2 size options. Size 1 is intended for
children aged approximately 1 - 2 years and a maximum
weight of 13kg and size 2 is intended for children aged
approximately 2 - 5 years and a maximum weight of 20kg.

Please note however that the weight limit for a child
being placed into a standard shopping trolley seat is
13kg maximum.

Daily activities tested and approved
by Leckey for the use of the GoToSeat are:

1. Attached to a hard back/ restaurant chair for
dining with family and friends.

2. For use in a shopping trolley allowing the parent/
guardian to shop with greater ease.

3. For use in a Cradle swing type only, enabling the
child to enjoy everyday activities.

The GoTo Seat must fit within the edges of the cradle swing
seat base. If the Goto Seat protrudes outside
of the cradle swing seat base then the GoTo Seat cannot in
any circumstances be used in a cradle swing seat.

SECTION 5. Cleaning & Care Information

How to Maintain

When cleaning the plastic support we recommend that
you use only warm water and a non-abrasive detergent.
Never use organic solvents or dry cleaning fluids.

Upholstery and Fabric

1. Clean and care for your fabric on a regular
basis. Simply vacuum to remove dust particles
and wipe with a damp cloth for general cleaning.

2. Microfibre cloths are extremely effective without
soap which is helpful as soap can clog your fabric.

3. The seat covers can be removed from the
hard plastic back and machine washed at 40°C.
Line drying is recommended however they can
be tumble dried at a low temperature.

4. Upholstery can be placed into the washing
machine intact, after removing straps, buckles
and fastenings. Store these in a safe place
and out of reach of children.

5. Fabric can also be cleaned by hand whilst
in place. When cleaning, we recommend
you use a non-abrasive detergent.

6. Staining should be removed as quickly as
possible with absorbent cloth, towels or a sponge.
Routine soap and warm water sponging is effective
for ordinary soiling and minor spills. Be careful
not to saturate the fabric as this will cause the
stain to spread.

7. Antiseptic cleaning agents can be used on
more stubborn stains. These may require a safe
solvent such as Isopropyl Alcohol or Mineral Spirit.
Ensure that cleaning products are fully removed.

SECTION 7. Important guidelines
Placing of Child into GoTo Seat

1. The GoTo Seat must be securely fastened in place
for its intended use before placing a child into the seat.

2. Ensure the harness straps are not obstructing placing
a child into the GoTo Seat; shoulder straps and side
lateral straps should be very slack.

3. If placed in a trolley: guide the child’s legs slowly
/ gently through leg gaps in shopping trolley; do not
force legs through.

4. Once legs are safely through, gently fit child’s arms
through shoulder straps – the shoulder straps should
be very slack. Ensure shoulder strap pads are on
child’s shoulders.

5. Close centre buckle and adjust side lateral straps
and shoulder straps where necessary to ensure
child is secure in seat harness.

6. Close buckle strap.

Removal of Child from GoTo Seat

1. Slacken shoulder straps and side lateral straps.

2. Unlock central buckle flap and buckle.

3. Slide shoulder straps off child’s shoulders

and gently remove child’s arms from harness.

4. If placed in a trolley: lift child up gently guiding their
legs out from the leg gaps in the trolley. Do not let their
feet catch the GoTo Seat as this may pull the GoTo Seat
up and trap their feet.
