Important: Safety Guide
NEVER use the Simplicity
Infant Carrier on a passenger
seat fitted with a front airbag. It is
VERY DANGEROUS AND ILLEGAL.
Read the whole instruction manual
and make sure you fully understand
how to fit and use the Simplicity
Infant Carrier correctly.
Always keep your instruction manual
in the compartment provided on the
Simplicity Infant Carrier.
It is very important to make
sure that when the child
restraint is positioned on the
vehicle seat it is at the correct
angle and not too upright so
that breathing is not restricted
especially with very small and
light/premature babies. This could
lead to breathing restrictions.
Silver Cross recommend that you
do not place anything under the
Simplicity Infant Carrier, it could
affect the performance of the
infant carrier in an accident.
Never buy a second hand infant
carrier, it may have unseen damage
which could affect the safety of your
child.
Always replace the Simplicity Infant
Carrier after an accident, it may
have unseen damage which could
affect the safety of your baby.
Always secure the Simplicity Infant
Carrier by the 3 point lap and
diagonal seat belt when not in use.
All occupants in the vehicle must be
correctly restrained complying with
the current law.
Loose objects in the vehicle should
be secured when travelling.
Cover the Simplicity Infant Carrier
if it is left in direct sunlight. Plastic
and metal surfaces get very hot and
could burn. The car seat cover is
also likely to fade.
The safety harness must be used
at all times when a baby is in the
Simplicity Infant Carrier.
Before carrying the Simplicity Infant
Carrier make sure that the handle is
firmly locked in the carry position.
Do not make unauthorised
modifications or alterations to the
Simplicity Infant Carrier.
The Simplicity Infant Carrier
must never be used without the
manufacturer’s recommended seat
cover being correctly fitted. If you
replace the seat cover, only use one
recommended by the manufacturer.
It is very important that the harness
chest pads and buckle pad are
always fitted and positioned
correctly. They are an important
safety feature.
Do not allow children to play with or
adjust the Simplicity Infant Carrier.
Avoid leaving your baby in the
Simplicity Infant Carrier for long
periods. Take your baby out for
frequent breaks.
Do not leave children alone in your
car.
Do not place the Simplicity Infant
Carrier on a table or work top,
always use the floor.
Never leave your baby unattended
in the Simplicity Infant Carrier either
in or outside the car.
Make sure that all folding vehicle
seats are securely latched and
fastened.

Make sure that the Simplicity Infant
Carrier or its adjusting strap does
not become trapped in the door of
the vehicle or by a folding passenger
seat. Do not allow the adjusting
strap to be caught in moving parts
such as doors, escalators etc.
Always store the Simplicity Infant
Carrier in a safe, dry place when it is
not being used.
Avoid storing the Simplicity Infant
Carrier near a direct heat source
such as a radiator and do not
place heavy objects on top of the
Simplicity.
Child car seats can mark vehicle
seat upholstery and seat belts.

responsible for damage or marking
to vehicle seats and seat belts.
Silver Cross strongly recommend
that when using the Simplicity
Infant Carrier whether in or out of
the vehicle that you take your child
out at regular intervals especially
on long journeys. This will help
relieve pressure on the baby’s
spine and lower back area.
