Dear Parents,
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 are worthy
of the name, we’ve subjected them to a comprehensive
development program complying with American FMVSS
213 safety standards. RECARO is also TS16949/
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 restraint you have purchased is a high
quality product. Its different settings and its stable ergonomic
2

design ensures that the RECARO child restraint 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 child
restraint 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 ProSPORT! If you have
any questions or need assistance of any kind, please contact

When it is hot, RECARO recommends the following tips to reduce
possible injury or discomfort to your child:
• Park your vehicle in the shade to help keep the restraint cooler.
• Cover the child restraint with a sheet or blanket when NOT in
use.
• ALWAYS check surface temperatures of the child restraint
before placing a child in it.
When it is cold and you are using the ProSPORT in the Harness
Mode, RECARO recommends the following tips to reduce possible
injury or discomfort to your child:
• Remove the child’s bulky clothing before restraining the child in
the seat. This will help belts and other safety features function
properly.
• After restraining the child in the seat, cover the child and
the restraint system with a blanket or their jacket to maintain
warmth and comfort of the child.
NOTE: NEVER, EVER leave your child unattended in your vehicle,
no matter how long or even if the windows are left open. NHTSA
studies show that heat stroke is the leading cause of non-crash
vehicle deaths for children.
Locking Clip
Following Section 8: Installing the ProSPORT in the Harnessed
Mode in Your Vehicle, pg. 32, Non-Locking ELR Lap and Shoulder
Belt installation, you may nd that you cannot install without a
universal locking clip. Please call 1-800-8-RECARO and RECARO
will ship you a locking clip and instructions.

This child restraint is NOT certied
for use in aircraft when used as a
belt-positioning booster without the
harness. The use of a booster seat
requires the use of a shoulder belt
and lap belt. Aircraft generally only
provide a lap belt.
This child restraint is certied for use
in motor vehicles and aircraft when
used with the harness. Secure the
ProSPORT in the Harness Mode as
shown on pages 29 - 30, “Locking
Lap Belt Installation”. Place the
ProSPORT in the window seat to
avoid blocking the aisle.
This child restraint conforms to all applicable Federal Motor
Vehicle Safety Standards.

Because the design and operation of vehicle belts vary, make
sure to observe the following guidelines:
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 ProSPORT tightly in the Harness Mode.
• Do NOT use motorized
passive restraint shoulder
belt mounted systems.
• Do NOT use vehicle lap and
shoulder belt systems that
have independent retractors
for the lap and shoulder
portion of the vehicle seat
belt system.
• Do NOT use passive
restraints lap or shoulder

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 and shoulder belt
system. If you are not sure which system you have, check
your vehicle owner’s manual or contact your vehicle dealer
or manufacturer.

Section 6: Learning about Your Vehicle
• Do NOT place a child restraint in the front seat of a
vehicle with a passenger side air bag. The back seat is
the safest place for children under 12 years old.
• If your vehicle does NOT have rear seats, consult your
vehicle’s owner’s manual to help identify saftey features
in your vehicle or contact the vehicle manufacturer.
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.

Section 13: Positioning Your Child in
the Booster Mode
BOOSTER MODE: The ProSPORT can be used as a high back
belt-positioning booster ONLY if the child falls within ALL of the
following height and weight range information.
• The child’s weight is between 30 and 120 pounds (13.6
and 54.4 kg).
• The child’s standing height is between 37 and 59 inches
(94 and 150 cm).
A child is ALWAYS safest in a child restraint system that
has a 5-point harness system built in. RECARO cannot
recommend what age your child has to be in order to ride in
this seat as a belt-positioning booster, please refer to your
state’s law, as each law is different.
Head Restraint Adjustment
The purpose of the head restraint adjustment is to maximize the
side impact protection for the child’s head and properly position
the vehicle shoulder belt across the child’s body. There are four
(4) height adjustment positions of the head restraint that will
allow the ProSPORT to grow with your child.
Prior to placing and tting your child restraint system to the
vehicle seat, the head restraint should be adjusted to properly
t your child.
Section 13: BOOSTER MODE Positioning Your Child
42
43
• The red shoulder belt guide on
the child restraint system must be
above the child’s shoulder to allow
for correct vehicle belt positioning.
-AND-
• Your child’s head must be
centered vertically between
the top and bottom of the head
restraint.
To adjust the head restraint:
1. First have your child sit in the
ProSPORT before it is placed in
the vehicle.
2. Adjust the head restraint by
lifting up on the head restraint
adjustment handle located on
the back of the ProSPORT.
3. Once the head restraint
adjustment handle is lifted
either pull up or slide the
head restraint down until the
head restraint is in the proper
positions detailed in step 1 and
2 of this section.
To properly t your child, the head restraint should be
positioned as follows:
Section 13: BOOSTER MODE Positioning Your Child

It is important to ALWAYS check that the position of the
head restraint height is correct for your child as your child
continues to grow.
Your child is too TALL for the ProSPORT when:
• The child’s shoulders are
ABOVE the red shoulder belt
guides when the head restraint
is adjusted to its highest
position.
• The child’s ears are ABOVE the
top edge of the head restraint
when the head restraint is
adjusted to its highest position.
Your child is too SHORT for the ProSPORT when:
• The child’s ear is BELOW
the bottom edge of the
head restraint when the
head restraint is adjusted
to its lowest position.

2-Point Seat Belt: A restraint system with two attachment points.
(Also called a “lap belt.”)
3-Point Seat Belt: A seat belt with both a lap and a shoulder
portion, having three attachment points (one shoulder, two hips.)
Airbag: A passive (idle) restraint system that automatically deploys
during a crash to act as a cushion for the occupant. It creates a
broad surface on which to spread the forces of the crash, to reduce
head and chest injury. It is considered “supplementary” to the lap/
shoulder belts because it enhances the protection the belt system
offers in frontal crashes. Also known as SRS - supplemental
restraint system; SIR - supplemental inatable restraint; SIPS - side
impact protection system; IC - inatable curtain; SIAB - side impact
airbag.
Belt-Positioning Booster: (also called a “Booster Seat”) A
platform that raises the child (provides a taller sitting height) so
adult lap and shoulder belts t better; some have high backs as
well. NEVER use with a lap belt only across the child.
Belt Routings: The manufacturer's required place where the safety
belt passes around or through the child restraint. Belt routings are
indicated in red on this child restraint.
Car Seat: Common term for a specially designed device that
secures a child in a motor vehicle, meets federal safety standards,
and increases child safety in a crash. (Also called a “child restraint
system” or “child safety seat.”)
Child Restraint System: Common term for a specially designed

device that secures a child in a motor vehicle, meets federal safety
standards, and increases child safety in a crash. (Also called a “Car
Seat.”)
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 213: Federal
Motor Vehicle Safety Standard that pertains to all restraint systems
intended for use as crash protection in vehicles for children up to 50
pounds. FMVSS 213 is required for child restraints sold in the USA.
Head Restraint: Structure at the top of the backrest which is
designed to keep the child’s head in the proper position and provide
protection for the child’s head during a crash.
ISO/TC 22/SC 12/WG 1 N538: Side impact test requirements for
child restraints. NOT required for child restraints sold in the USA.
LATCH: Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren. New acronym
for standardized vehicle anchorage system. Method to afx child
restraint systems to vehicles independent of the vehicle seat belts.
The LATCH system includes both lower LATCH and top tether.
Side Impact Protection (SIP): Extra safety feature of Recaro
child restraints having energy absorbing foam strategically placed
in areas on the child restraint where it is especially important to
protect the child in a crash.
Top Tether Anchorage: Attachment point in vehicle for child
safety seat tether strap. Refer to vehicle owner's manual regarding
anchor location. A tether strap is an additional belt that anchors the
child restraint system top to the vehicle frame; keeps the restraint
from tipping forward on impact; can provide an extra margin
of protection. A tether strap is typically available on most child
restraints manufactured after September 1, 1999.
