The Firefly GoTo is
a lightweight portable
seat that enhances
children’s lives
through participation.
It’s a safe, supportive
multipurpose seat,
great for your home
or on the go.
SECTION 1. Intended Use
The GoTo Seat has been designed to provide additional
upper body postural support for children with disabilities.
The seat must be attached to a chair or similar support
structure for stability and safety at all times. The GoTo Seat
is for occasional use due to limited support and pressure
relief and therefore is not intended to be used as the
primary seating system for a child with a disability.
The GoTo Seat must be securely 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 a
maximum weight of 15kg/33lbs* and Size 2 is intended for
children aged approximately 3 - 8 years and a maximum
weight of 30kg/60lbs*. For more information see the Sizing
Guide in Section 16.
*Please note however, the weight limit for a child
being placed into a standard shopping trolley seat is
13kg/28.5lbs maximum.
We cannot accept responsibility for any use of the product
outside of its intended use. Daily activities tested and
approved by Firefly by Leckey for the use of the GoTo Seat
are:
1. Attached to a hard back chair for dining with family and
friends.
2. For use in a shopping trolley allowing the parent/
guardian to shop with greater ease.
3. For use in a cradle-style swing only, enabling the child to
enjoy this activity. The GoTo Seat must fit within the edges
of the cradle swing seat base. If the GoTo Seat protrudes
outside of the cradle swing seat base then the GoTo Seat
cannot in any circumstances be used in a cradle swing
seat.
Use of GoTo in swings is at user discretion, as swing
designs vary widely. Assess how well the GoTo will secure
to your swing before use and ensure you are confident
that the unit is secure and safe to use before placing your
child in the GoTo.
4. As a Floorsitter with the Floorsitter attachment.
Be aware that while your child is using the Floorsitter it will
be possible for them to move around the floor, and so the
Floorsitter must always be used under supervision.

SECTION 5. How to Clean and Maintain
Plastic Seat Base
1. When cleaning the plastic seat base we recommend that
you use only warm water and a non-abrasive detergent
such as washing up liquid.
2. Disinfectant alcohols such as ethanol and isopropanol
are suitable for use on the plastic body.
3. Never use organic solvents or dry cleaning fluids.
Upholstery and Fabrics
1. Clean and care for your fabric on a regular basis. Simply
vacuum with an upholstery attachment to remove dust
particles and wipe with a damp cloth for general cleaning.
2. Microfibre cloths are extremely effective without soap
which is helpful, as soap can clog your fabric.
3. The seat covers can be removed from the hard plastic
seat base and machine washed at 40°C.
4. Drying procedure is to dry flat. 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 and tools
specifically designed to care for upholstery must be used.
8. Clean spills right away. The longer a spot or spill goes
untreated, the more difficult it is to remove. It can also 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.
10. Antiseptic cleaning agents can be used on more
stubborn stains. Disinfectant cleaning liquids such as
Isopropyl Alcohol or ethanol are suitable for use on GoTo.
Ensure that cleaning products are fully removed.
Please allow the product to air dry, ensuring all alcohol is
evaporated before use.
11. Do not put the upholstery on to the plastic base whilst
the cover is still wet. Dry thoroughly prior to reassembly.
12. Do not iron the cover or straps.
13. Do not bleach any part of the GoTo.
Tip:
One of the best water-based upholstery cleaners is
very easy to make at home. Put one cup of warm (not
hot) water into a mixing bowl and then add 1/4 cup of
biodegradable dish washing soap. Beat with an electric
mixer at medium speed until the liquid becomes a thick
foam. This foam will remove built up dirt and most food
or drink stains. Not only is this cleaner, simple to make
and inexpensive, it is also nontoxic and environmentally-
friendly.
