SAFETY INFORMATION
Please read these instructions carefully before using Wizzybug,
and take extra care where you see the warning symbol .
You must supervise your child when they are in or near
Wizzybug, just as you would supervise a toddler who has
no physically limiting conditions. For example, you must
take control of Wizzybug on pavements near roads, near
steps or near open water.
Do not use Wizzybug if:
•Any parts appear damaged or out of shape.
•There is an unusual sound coming from Wizzybug.
•You believe that the use of Wizzybug could be dangerous
to your child or to someone else.
Do not make changes to Wizzybug without permission from
Designability, because this could be dangerous.
If you feel Wizzybug is unsafe, do not use it. Contact Designability
or your Wizzybug provider using the contact details at the front
of these instructions.
If a serious incident happens with a Wizzybug, it should be
reported to Designability. If you live outside the UK, you can ask
for help with this from your Wizzybug provider.
When your child no longer needs to use Wizzybug, it must not be
passed to another child to use unless it has been returned to the
manufacturer or provider first to check that it is safe and working.

support for your child.

•Has very complex seating needs that Wizzybug's seating
system cannot meet.

cognitive impairment.
•Has a visual impairment severe enough that they cannot
use Wizzybug safely.
