Important information for the parent/guardian about installing and using the prescribed restraint.
General

Install and use in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.Use product as demonstrated by the supplier and/or prescriber.The Advice to Parent form must be carried in the vehicle the child is travelling in.It is important that the use of the product is reviewed on the date specified in this form.
Special purpose car seats

The built-in harness is for postural support only. The vehicle seatbelt must be used by the occupant.
Seatbelt buckle covers

If your child attempts to remove the buckle cover, or tries to get out of the vehicle seat, advise the prescriber as the buckle cover may not be suitable. This is a significant road safety risk and requires urgent follow-up.To minimise road safety risks and driver distraction, it is recommended that your child is accompanied by an adult (other than the driver) when using the buckle cover for the first few trips. If your child attempts to remove the buckle cover, or slide out from under the seatbelt, advise the prescriber. This is a significant road safety risk and requires urgent follow-up.It is recommended for the first few trips that travel routes are selected that allow you to pull over quickly if needed (i.e avoid freeways and high-speed roads).
