• WARNING: Allow the child a break during long car journeys and make sure they don't get out of the car seat unaided and without supervision.
• WARNING: The child car seat must be fitted securely to the passenger seat. Ensure that it is not loose or wobbly after you have fitted it. If it is loose, refit it.
• WARNING: Ensure that the child car seat is secured to the car seat at all times even when not in use.
• WARNING: The seat cover should not be replaced with any other than the one recommended by the manufacturer, because the cover constitutes an integral part of the restraint performance.
• WARNING: Stop the car at regular intervals to check that the child car seat is in the correct position and that both the car seatbelt AND the child car seat harness (if required) are still fastened and latched.
• WARNING: In the event of an emergency it is important to be able to release the child quickly (as defined by British Standards). This means that seat buckle cannot be fully tamper proof and you should actively discourage your child from playing with or using the buckle.
