5-point safety belt

Please note:

The 5-point safety belt integrated in the seat is intended for the use between
20 and 90 pounds only! This requires that the seat must be secured with the
vehicle’s 3-point belt before.

The 5-point safety belt is already tted in the seat. For more information on

the use of the belts please consult the RECARO user manual provided with
the seat.

Adjusting the belt length:

Slightly lift the lateral seat cover and the fabric flap. Now you can see
the central belt adjuster in the seat shell. To change the belt length, press
the lever down and adjust the belt by either pulling the strap coming out
of the front of the seat (shortening) or by pulling out both shoulder belts
(lengthening).

Belt buckle:

Unbuckle the black chest clip by squeezing in the centre of it. After that
press the red dent of the buckle below. Separate the two upper belt fasteners.
To close the belt, bring the two upper belt fasteners together, insert them into
the buckle from above and push together until they lock in place with an
audible “Click”. Also bring the two black belt fasteners together and push
them together until they lock in place with an audible “Click”.

Headrest

The rehab version features a headrest, providing additional lateral support
for the head. Due to the addition support in the neck region, it provides child
increased stability. If not needed, the headrest can be removed by opening
the Velcro at the rear of the seat and taking the headrest off forwards.
