Method Of Use

Placing of Child into GoTo Seat
1. The GoTo Seat must be securely fastened in place for its intended use before placing a child into the seat.
2. If using the Floorsitter, attach Floorsitter first and adjust to preferred angle before placing child in GoTo - do not adjust recline whilst child is in GoTo. Ensure that the metal support frame is fully home in the recess and clamped securely before use.
3. Floorsitter should only be used on a firm, solid flat surface. Soft surfaces such as carpet and rugs (especially deep pile) can reduce the stability of the Floorsitter and should be used with caution.
4. Ensure the harness straps do not obstruct placement of child into the GoTo Seat. Shoulder straps and side lateral support straps should be very slack.
5. If placed in a trolley: guide the child's legs slowly / gently through leg gaps in shopping trolley; do not force legs through.
6. Once legs are safely through, gently fit child's arms through shoulder straps - the shoulder straps should be very slack. Ensure shoulder strap pads are on
child's shoulders.
7. Close centre buckle and adjust side lateral support straps to ensure child is secure in seat harness. The shoulder strap length should be adjusted to fit your child securely.
8. The groin strap length can be adjusted by accessing the adjustment fitting underneath the padded cover. In the GoTo Size 2 the location of the groin strap can be moved outwards to provide more room for your child as they grow.

Removal of Child from GoTo Seat
1. Slacken shoulder straps and side lateral support straps.
2. Unlock central buckle using release button on harness.
3. Slide shoulder straps off child's shoulders and gently remove child's arms from harness.
4. For Size 1 only, if placed in a trolley: lift child up gently guiding their legs out from the leg gaps in the trolley. Do not attempt to lift child out of the trolley while they are still attached to the seat.

Considerations

It is advisable to consult a professional experienced in seating, such as an occupational therapist or physiotherapist, during the prescription / purchase process.

Maintenance

Plastic Seat Base
1. When cleaning the plastic seat base it is recommended 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 degC.
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.
