Division Falling hazards

Once it is set up for normal use, the chair-mounted seat must ensure that the child remains in it and that it does not overturn when he or she leans in any direction. To avoid injuries due to the child’s standing up and falling or slipping out of the chair-mounted seat, it must be designed in such a way that its restraint system prevents the child from standing up and falling or slipping out of it.

The chair-mounted seat must be fitted with a restraint system that can be adjusted to the size of the child and must consist of at least a waist and crotch restraint. It must not be possible to use the restraint system without using the crotch restraint.

The restraint system, straps, anchoring points and fastening system must suffer no permanent damage which can impair their safety and normal function when subjected to static and dynamic mechanical stress during reasonable foreseeable use of the chair-mounted seat.

When mounted for use, the height of the backrest of the chair-mounted seat must be appropriately high. It must also be fitted with side armrests that are high enough to ensure that a child remains in the seat when he or she leans in any direction.
