driving and proper use of your child restraint, it can lower the
risk of injury or death.

information in this instruction manual to properly restrain
your child. Also, before using your new child restraint for the

Its different settings and its stable and ergonomic
design ensure that the RECARO child seat is a safe and
comfortable place for your child to sit when traveling in your
car. However, before you use it, you need to adjust it to your
child’s size and then install it carefully so that the seat will
perform as required. These instructions will help you do this,
so please read them carefully.
Remember, parents are a child’s best examples. Be sure
to ALWAYS buckle your seat belt and your children will
be much more likely to do the same. Thank you again for
choosing RECARO and enjoy your child restraint! If you

Section 4:
Getting to Know Your
Child Restraint
This child restraint is known as a convertible child
restraint because it converts from a Rear-Facing into a
Forward-Facing restraint system as your child grows.
It is important to know the difference between these two
use modes, be able to choose which mode is appropriate
for your child, and be able to choose which sections of
this instruction manual apply to the mode that you desire.
To facilitate choosing the right set of the instructions for
the mode that you desire, look for color codes on the
sides of the pages in this instruction manual.
Rear-Facing instructions are indicated in PINK, and
Forward-Facing instructions are indicated in BLUE. Note
that general information and information applying to both
user modes is not color-coded.
NEVER use the child restraint system for a child
who is not the recommended height, weight or age
recommended in this instruction manual.
The American Academy of Pediatrics and NHTSA
recommend keeping children rearward facing up to age 2.
RECARO advocates using a convertible child restraint up to
maximum rearward facing weight and height.
