WARNINGS
On hot days, the temperature inside
the vehicle can rise very quickly.
Exposure of people or animals to
these high temperatures for even a short
time can cause death or serious heat
related injuries, including brain damage.
Small children are particularly at risk.
Safety belts and seats can become
hot in a vehicle that has been closed
up in sunny weather, they could burn
a small child. Check seat covers and
buckles before you place a child anywhere
near them.
Read and follow the child restraint
manufacturer’s instructions when
you are fitting a child restraint.
Do not alter or modify child restraints
in any way
Do not hold a child on your lap when
the vehicle is moving.
Do not leave children unattended in
your vehicle.
Destroy the child restraint if it has
been in a severe crash, even if no
damage is visible.
Selecting a child restraint system
To provide protection, a child restraint
system should meet three requirements.
1. The child restraint system complies
with Australian Standard AS1754.
Infants and children must be properly
restrained at all times in an approved
child restraint which conforms to
Australian Standards AS1754 - 2004
or later. Look for the Australian
Standard Approval Mark on the child
restraint.
2. The child restraint must be suitable
for the size and weight of the child
and must be properly fitted and
adjusted. Rearward facing restraints
are suitable for babies, and forward
facing child restraints are suitable for
small children. Use the child restraint
exactly as shown in the instructions
provided with the child restraint. If you
have any doubts, contact the child
restraint manufacturer or consult an
approved Restraint Fitting Station.
3. The child restraint system should
fit the vehicle seating position (or
positions) where it will be used. Due
to variations in the design of child
restraint systems, vehicle seats and
seat belts, all child restraint systems
may not fit all seating positions. Before
purchasing a child restraint system, it
is recommended that the child restraint
system is tested in the specific vehicle
seating position (or positions) where
it is intended to be used. If a previously
purchased child restraint does not fit,
you may need to purchase a different
one that will fit.
