attached to a rigid and stable
support by using all of the black
attachment straps.
The child should not be placed in
the GoTo if it’s support is not stable.
Be aware or your child’s abilities,
and observe your child at all times.
The GoTo Seat is available in 2 size
options. Size 1 is intended for children
aged approximately 1–3 years with

1. When cleaning the plastic seat base
we recommend that you use only
warm water and a non-abrasive

2. Disinfectant alcohols such as ethanol
and isopropanol are suitable for use
on the plastic body.
3. Never use organic solvents

3. The seat covers can be removed

Do not tumble dry.
5. Upholstery can be placed into the
washing machine intact, after
removing straps, buckles and
fastenings. Store these in a safe
place and out of reach of children.
6. Fabric can also be cleaned by hand
whilst in place. For solid food spills,
scoop up with a spatula. Clean the
fabric with a water-based product
such as foam from a mild detergent
and remove with absorbent cloth,
towels or sponge.
7. To successfully clean upholstery
without over-wetting the fabric or
causing colours to bleed, products

lead to permanent colour loss.
9. Routine soap and warm water
sponging is effective for ordinary
soiling and minor spills. Avoid rubbing
as it can be abrasive and damage
the fabric. Be careful not to saturate
the fabric as this will cause the stain
to spread. Work your way from the
outside in to avoid spreading the
stain more.

be used on more stubborn stains.
