Outdoor Safety Information
1. Sun Safety
Too much exposure to ultraviolet (UV) solar radiation can lead to skin cancer or other UV
exposure related medical conditions. The use of a shade device is one of many measures
that can be taken to avoid the harmful effects of solar UV radiation.
The supplementary sun cover of your Protect ’n Go™ Infant Comfort Canopy™ has a UPF 50+
rating and blocks over 98% of harmful UV radiation. It provides shade and protection from
direct overhead sunlight. Even on a cloudy day, up to 80% of the sun‘s rays can pass
through the clouds.
Since UV radiation may be transmitted through the mesh side walls of your Protect ’n Go™
Infant Comfort Canopy™, whose UPF rating is not UPF 50+, you should always combine the
use of the supplementary sun cover with other UV radiation protective measures to
achieve maximum sun protection for your baby.
UPF rated fabric should not be used longer than 12 months as wear and
tear of the fabric can affect its UPF rating over time. Be sure to check your
Protect ’n Go™ Infant Comfort Canopy™ regularly for wear and tear that
may affect its UPF rating.

Outdoor Safety Information (Continued)
Understanding UPF
Ultraviolet Protection Factor (UPF) measures the ability of a fabric to block harmful ultraviolet
(UVA and UVB) rays. For example, a fabric rated UPF 50 allows only 1/50th, or 2% of the UV
radiation to pass through the fabric.
UPF ratings are derived from accepted test standard AATCC 183-2004. The following table
summarizes labeling guidelines used internationally.
Classification Category
UPF Range
UPF Lables
% UV Blocked
Good UV Protection
15 - 24
15 , 20
93.3 - 95.80
Very Good UV Protection
25 - 39
25, 30, 35
96.0 - 97.45
Excellent UV Protection
40 - 50+
40, 45, 50, 50+
Above 97.5
NOTE: Sun Protection Factor (SPF) is a measurement used for sunscreens only.

2. Protection against insects
The United States Center for Disease Control recommends the use of mosquito netting over
infant carriers when you are outdoors with infants. Mosquitoes have been known to transmit
the West Nile virus and other blood born diseases such as malaria. Other insects such as
black flies can be an irritant and cause painful bites.
The body of the Protect ’n Go™ Infant Comfort Canopy™ is comprised of fine insect netting to
help repel insects. In order to achieve protection against insects, the elastic perimeter of the
Protect ’n Go™ Infant Comfort Canopy™ must be snug against the infant car seat and the
zipper ceiling must be closed. Any spaces in between the elastic perimeter and the seating
device may permit insects to enter the cover. To optimize protection against insects, use your
Protect ’n Go™ Infant Comfort Canopy™ in combination with other insect repelling measures.
3. Overheating prevention
Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight may cause a child to overheat and
lead to serious injury or death of the child. NEVER leave your baby in direct
sunlight or unattended. To ensure the safety and comfort of your child, check
your child frequently.
