Standards
Some equipment needs to meet Australian or other standards. Standards may relate to materials, manufacturing and installation. To find out if a product meets Australian Standards check with the supplier or look at the Novitatech website (
CONSIDERATIONS FOR USE
This item may be suitable for children who require greater support than that provided by standard child car restraints.
It may be helpful to refer to Australian Standards AS/NZS 4370: 1996 Restraint of children with disabilities in motor vehicles to assist in deciding the safest way to transport a child with a disability.
Some items do not meet Australian Standard AS 1754 2000. A certificate is therefore required from a certified medical practitioner, with a review and expiry date, to explain why the item is required and the length of time it’s required. This certificate must be stored with the item at all times. For further information, contact Vic Roads on 13 11 71.
Alteration of a car restraint from its original form is considered a modification (such as extending a crotch strap), and is therefore no longer approved. In this instance a medical certificate explaining why the modification or alteration is required, must be stored with the item at all times. This applies also for items that meet Australian Standards AS1754 2000 that are altered in any way, as this will nullify the standards testing. For further information, contact Vic Roads on 13 11 71.
Refer to the VicRoads ‘Restraint Fitting Stations Get It Right’ brochure to ensure that the child car restraint is installed correctly.
Refer to following link for Guidelines on Restraining Children with Disabilities in Motor Vehicles.
Manufacturer’s instructions must be followed.
As this item features a wide seat with reduced lateral support at the hip section, it may be suitable for some children who have bilateral lower limb plasters (sometimes referred as hip spica).
The reclined position of the backrest may provide an increased angle at the hips. This may be suitable for some children who have bilateral lower limb plasters (sometimes referred as hip spica).
