WARNINGS
• DO NOT USE A REAR- FACING CHILD RESTRAINT WHERE AN AIRBAG IS
FITTED IN FRONT OF THE SEATING POSITION.
• Fit the restraint firmly to the car seat.
• Fit the harness firmly to the child.
• A loose restraint or harness is dangerous.
• Do not harness an infant wrapped in a blanket or swaddled. Any blanket or wrap
must only be placed over the harness and infant.
• Seatbelt extenders are not recommended to be used if the seatbelt is not long
enough to secure the child restraint. If seatbelts are too short then advice should be
sought from a child restraint fitter and their recommendation be considered before
using a seatbelt extender.
• Always secure the loose end of the top tether strap. Do not use the child restraint
where this strap may fall into a split in the seat back or off the side of the seat.
• Always secure the loose end of the top tether strap to prevent it hanging out of the
car or being accessible by the child.
• ALWAYS ATTACH HOOK AND REMOVE SLACK.
• THIS RESTRAINT IS NOT SUITABLE FOR USE WHERE THE TOP TETHER
STRAP MAY FALL INTO A SPLIT IN THE SEAT BACK OR
OFF THE SIDE OF THE SEAT.
• THIS RESTRAINT MUST BE ATTACHED TO A CHILD RESTRAINT UPPER
ANCHORAGE POINT IN THE CAR. REFER TO CAR OWNER’S HANDBOOK
FOR LOCATION OF UPPER ANCHORAGE POINTS. REFER TO A CHILD
RESTRAINT FITTING STATION IF NO UPPER ANCHORAGE POINTS ARE IN
THE MOTOR CAR.
• Always check the measurements between the front of the seat back of the rear seat
and all front seats in the car in which the child restraint is intended to be used, to
ensure that the space is sufficient.
• Care and attention be given to ventilation and shading of the occupant.
• TO BE USED WITH A LAP-SASH/LAP-ONLY SEATBELT IN THE FRONT /
BACK OF MOST CARS WITH FORWARD FACING SEATS.

WARNINGS
• The use of child restraints in the front seat may be restricted for children of
specific ages by local legislation. Please check with your local legislation
regarding any restriction for child restraint. If a car has two or more rows
of seats, children under four must not travel in the front seat. If all seats,
other than the front seats, are being used by children under seven years,
children aged between four and six years (inclusive) may travel in the front
seat, provided they use an approved child restraint or booster seat.
• This child restraint is not approved for use with any connectors that
connect to the car’s ISOFIX low anchorages.
• Use of aftermarket accessories (i.e. items not provided in the box with the
child restraint), can reduce the safety provided by child restraint and may
cause injury or death. For approved aftermarket accessories please refer
to page 11.
• Please contact Dorel Australia Customer Service with any questions or
concerns.
