Important safety points
DO read these instructions before fitting the car seat in your car so that you may be familiar with it and avoid any dangerous misuse.
Premature babies of less than 37 weeks gestation may be at special risk in a car. Such a baby may experience breathing difficulties while reclined in a car seat. We advise that you have your doctor or hospital staff examine your baby and recommend the proper car seat or car bed before you and your baby leave the hospital.
DO NOT USE YOUR CAR SEAT ON ANY PASSENGER SEAT WHERE AN AIRBAG IS FITTED.
DO take care to locate and install the car seat so that it is not liable to become trapped by a moveable seat or in a door of the vehicle.
DO make sure that the harness is properly adjusted at all times and that the straps are not twisted.
AVOID seating a passenger directly behind the car seat. If a passenger must sit directly behind the car seat, put the lightest person there. In the event of an accident, a heavy passenger is more likely to injure your child than a light one.
DO make it a firm family rule that everyone in the car always buckles up for every trip. This sets a good example for young children and ensures better cooperation over the years. Also, an unrestrained child or adult can be thrown into other passengers and cause serious injury or death in a crash.
DO NOT ever take a baby out of the car seat for any reason while vehicle is
in motion. If your baby needs attention, find a safe place and pull off the road.
DO store your car seat in a safe place when not being used. Avoid putting heavy things on top of it.
DO always check the security of your car seat before each journey.
DO regularly check all child restraints for wear and tear.
