Welcome to the RECARO family of high quality automotive
products and thank you for purchasing your new RECARO
Child Restraint System.
RECARO has over 100 years experience in the design and
manufacture of premium automotive products. To assure all
products RECARO manufactures worthy of the name, we’ve
subjected them to a comprehensive development program
complying with American FMVSS 213 safety standards.
RECARO is also TS 16949/ISO 14001 certied which helps
assure the most comprehensive product development system
available.
Although each RECARO child restraint system is equipped
with state-of-the-art safety features such as Side Impact
Protection (SIP), it is not a guarantee that this child restraint
will prevent injury or death. However, if you stress careful
driving and proper use of your child restraint, it can lower the
risk of injury or death.
Therefore, please make sure to carefully review all
information in this instruction manual to properly restrain
your child. Also, before using your new child restraint for the
rst time, please review all components carefully to make
sure nothing has been damaged during shipping. Failure to
follow these instructions and the labels on the seat can result
in serious injury or even death.
The RECARO child seat you have purchased is a high
quality product.

Its different settings and its stable and ergonomic design
ensures 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 ProRIDE! If you have
any questions or need assistance of any kind please contact
us at...

This ProRIDE is known as a convertible child restraint

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 your desire.
To facilitate choosing the right set of the instructions for
the mode that you desire, look for color codes on the

• Do  place rear-facing

The high pressure
deployment of the airbag
can cause serious injury or

If your vehicle is equipped with front passenger
airbags, consult your vehicle owner’s manual for
installation instructions for child restraints.
If your vehicle does not have rear seats, consult your
vehicle’s owner’s manual to help identify safety features
in your vehicle or contact the vehicle manufacturer.
RECARO and the U.S. Department of Transportation warn
that children age 12 and under ride in the rear seat
away from front airbags.
Restraint systems should be securely belted to the
vehicle, even when they are not occupied, since in a
crash an unsecured child restraint system may injure
other occupants or store it somewhere outside the
passenger cabin so that it cannot injure anyone while
the vehicle is in motion. RECARO recommends storing
the child restraint in a cool and dry location.

Because the design and operation of vehicle belts
vary, make sure to observe the following guidelines:
• Do  use motorized passive
restraint shoulder belt systems.
• Do  use passive restraints
lap or shoulder belt mounted on
a door.
• Do  use vehicle lap and
shoulder belt systems that have
independent retractors for the
lap and shoulder portion of the
vehicle seat belt system.
NOTE: If you have a seat belt system described above,
check your vehicle owner’s manual for advice on where
and how to install a child restraint. Your vehicle dealer
may have a replacement lap belt than when installed will
hold the ProRIDE tightly.

Check to be sure which type of seat belt system you have in
the chart below. Some vehicles have more than one type of
belt system depending on the seating position. The center rear
position may have a lap only belt while the side seating locations
may have a lap/shoulder system. If you are not sure which
system you have, check your vehicle owner’s manual or contact
your vehicle dealer or manufacturer.
