Information

This instruction manual covers various models under the Model number CS5413 SERIES II. This Booster Seat is designed to be used by children from approximately 4 years of age up to approximately 8 years of age. This booster seat is installed in the rear of the car, forward-facing using the vehicle seatbelts & top tether strap.

Air Cocoon Technology™ - A Protective Embrace

Air Cocoon Technology™ (A.C.T.) enhances protection by dramatically reducing the impact forces during a crash. A.C.T. utilises a layer of air held inside the entirety of the child restraint shell, offering an increased level of protection across the entire surface area of the restraint. Your child is quite literally cradled in a cocoon of air, offering a true 180 degrees of protection to your child's vital organs.

Air Cocoon Technology™ integrated child restraints start their life as an actual pillow of air. This pillow is moulded into a child restraint, retaining the pillow-like construction while adding incredible strength and structural integrity. This manufacturing process is called blow-moulding.

Air Cocoon Technology™ (A.C.T.) is an all encompassing protective 'cocoon' around your child.

Child Restraints

No child restraint can guarantee absolute protection from injury in every crash. However, to ensure that your child gets all the protection designed into the restraint please read and follow the instructions exactly and use only InfaSecure recommended parts and accessories.

IMPORTANT: Research has shown that the likelihood of an accessory child safety harness being used incorrectly is very high and the risk of injuries when incorrectly used is much higher compared to a lap-sash seat belt. InfaSecure recommend that an accessory child safety harness should only be used if a lap-only seat belt is all that is available.

Booster Seat (Forward Facing)

THE SUITABILITY OF THE CHILD RESTRAINT TO GROUPS OF CHILDREN

TYPE E

To be used with a lap-sash seatbelt by a child whose shoulders are above the lower shoulder height marker (approximately 4 years of age) until the child's shoulders reach the upper shoulder height marker (approximately 6 to 8 years of age).

Continue to use this booster seat until the child reaches this limit. Children are safest in a booster seat until their shoulders reach the upper shoulder height marker of the booster seat.

Do not use this booster seat until child's shoulders are above the lower shoulder height marker.

If the knees do not bend in front of the vehicle seat cushion continue to use a booster seat.

Just using a seatbelt is not recommended for children that have outgrown this seat. Use a larger booster seat.

THIS RESTRAINT MUST BE USED IN CARS WITH FORWARD-FACING SEATS WITH A LAP-SASH SEATBELT. THIS BOOSTER SEAT IS NOT SUITABLE FOR USE WITH A CHILD HARNESS.

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 Department of Transport for the specific seating locations of children using child restraints for their given ages.

InfaSecure Vario II Astra - TYPE E - 1

IMPORTANT

  • For a vehicle without a fixed parcel shelf an extension strap(s) may be needed. If so ring (02) 4728 8080 for nearest supply location.
  • 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.

WARNING

• ALWAYS USE THE SASH GUIDE

Safe Grip (if supplied)

*Can be purchased separately visit http://store.infasecure.com.au/

SAFE GRIP BELT CLAMP

It is important that the lap belt must be firmly across the thighs. The Safe Grip locks the lap belt to ensure a firm fit across the thighs, and avoids slack in the lap belt. This fit ensures that the lap belt does not ride up into the soft abdominal region of the child, which may cause internal injury.

InfaSecure Vario II Astra - SAFE GRIP BELT CLAMP - 1

natural_image Red 3D illustration of a mechanical device with no visible text or symbols

To install the Safe Grip (red belt clamp);

Continue from Step 6: while holding the belts tight open the Safe Grip and clamp the "sash section" of the vehicle seat belt by closing the barrel section of the red belt clamp in the direction of arrow 3 (refer Figure 6) and then locking with the toggle section by pushing in the direction of arrow 4 (refer Figure 6) Note: Positioned as close as possible to the buckle and tongue. When the Safe Grip (red belt clamp) is secured in place, the lap section is now tightly holding your child in place, independent of the sash section.

The Safe Grip (red belt clamp) can be left located on the sash belt when the child is removed from the booster. It is then ready for the next use. Repositioning of the Safe Grip (red belt clamp) may be required as the child grows. The Safe Grip (red belt clamp) must be removed when the child restraint is not installed to allow other users to use the seat belt as a lap/sash seat belt. Always keep the Safe Grip (red belt clamp) in pocket provided when not in use.

Your insurance company may require you to keep the child restraint for assessment, but do not use the child restraint after a severe crash. To assist you in making an accident insurance claim cut the following statement and include it with your claim.

NOTICE TO INSURANCE COMPANY CHILD RESTRAINT INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT

All InfaSecure child restraints are manufactured to Australian/New Zealand Standards AS/NZS1754 which requires us to advise users of child restraints to "Destroy the entire restraint if it has been in use in a severe crash, even if no damage is obvious".

The Australian/New Zealand Standards committee, advise that this statement applies whether a child was in the child restraint or not. We consider a "severe crash" as being one where the main body structure of the vehicle is distorted.

There is no method of determining if the restraint has been damaged and we concur with the Australian/New Zealand Standards in recommending destruction of the child restraint.

This notice is to advise you of the requirements of the Australian/New Zealand Standards and our obligation in complying with the standards.

Please assist the owner of this restraint in their claim.
