Safety advice

Intended use:

The purpose of Erin’s Chair is to provide a safe and secure place for your child to play and entertain themselves in the presence and care of parent or adult attendant during use. 

Who Erin’s Chair is for:

• Only suitable from when your child is able to sit upright unaided
• Suitable from the age of 6 months up to the age of 6 or a weight of 20kg

Safety risks

1. One of the main risks of serious injury or death is the child not being securely fastened into the chair or are used improperly causing the child to wriggle out of their harness and slip down under the tabletop and fall onto the floor in an instant or become strangled. 
2. The crotch strap alone will not be sufficient to hold the child securely. Without two straps (i.e. a waist strap and a crotch strap) children can stand in the chair seat and topple from the chair, or slide under the tabletop and strangle on the waist strap or when their heads become trapped between the table top and the chair seat. 
3. A large proportion of accidents involving chairs are due to the parent/carer becoming distracted and leaving the child unsupervised. Remember to never leave your child unattended. 
4. An unlevelled floor may cause the chair to tip over with the child in it leading to head injuries.
5. Head injuries may happen when the child pushes off from the tabletop, rocks the chair back and forth or climbs on it causing the chair to tip over.
6. The chair being positioned near trailing wires or window furnishings could be grasped or entrap your child. 
7. Location of the chair and tote bag near a heat source such as an oven or fire can cause the chair and tote bag to become flammable. 
8. Slotting the pieces of the Chair together and sliding the tabletop into place or adjusting the height of the seat can result in injuries to fingers when they are caught when sliding the pieces into place. 

Safety instructions for the setting, assemble, use and dismantle of Erin’s Chair:

The setting for Erin’s Chair:

• Keep the chair and tote bag away from walls, doors, windows, window furnishings, blind cords, heat sources and appliances. 
• Avoid locating the chair and tote bag near heat sources such as an oven or fire as the chair and bag are non-flame resistant.
• Remove any items that your child will be tempted to reach for if in their line of sight when in the chair, such as their favourite toy or your mobile phone. 
• Ensure the floor surface for where the chair will be located is level and a hard surface.

Assembling Erin’s Chair:

• Be sure not to entrap your fingers whilst you remove the pieces of the chair from the tote bag.
• Keep children away from the chair while setting the chair up to prevent finger entrapment. 
• Check that whilst you’re slotting the pieces of the chair together, you do not entrap your fingers.
• Be sure that the slots on Erin’s Chair have been pushed together properly each time the chair is set up. 
• Check Erin’s Chair regularly to ensure there are no sharp edges. Do not use a chair if the wood has split. 
• Check the condition of straps and their attachments often to make sure they are securely attached and work properly. Only safety straps keep the child from climbing out or sliding down and strangling. 

Placing your child into Erin’s Chair:

• Never allow a child to stand up in a chair as this can cause tipping. 
• Do not let a child climb into the chair unassisted. 
• Do not let older children climb on or hang off the chair either whilst the child is in it or not in it as this can result in a tip over. 
• Always ensure when the child is in the chair, use ALL of the restraints on the three-point harness restraint system properly.
• Adjust the restraint system to fit the harness to the size of your child and securely fasten. A three-point-harness provides a restraint system to prevent your child slipping between the table-top and seat onto the floor. 
• Always ensure before laying the table-top onto to the chair, your own and your child’s fingers are positioned away from the slotted areas the tabletop will lay. Ensure the tabletop is properly secure. The tabletop should not be used as restraining device as it is not designed as a restraint system to hold your child in the chair. 

Whilst your child is in Erin’s Chair:

• Do not leave the child unsupervised in the chair, even if the three-point harness is in use.
• Avoid liquids being spilt onto the surfaces of the chair to prevent any swelling of the wooden material.

Removing your child from Erin’s Chair:

• Always ensure before removing the table-top from the chair, your own and your child’s fingers are positioned away from the slotted areas the tabletop rests in. 
• Before releasing the harness straps of restraint system, ensure you have hold of your child to make sure that your child does not slip off the seat onto the floor.

Dismantling Erin’s Chair:

• Keep children away from the chair while disassembling the chair to prevent finger entrapment. 
• Be sure not to entrap your fingers whilst you remove the pieces of the chair from the slotted areas.
• Check that whilst you’re placing the chair pieces into the tote bag, you do not entrap your fingers.
