General instructions
Please note: ALWAYS secure your child and the seat with the vehicle's 3-point belt. The 5-point positioning belt integrated in the seat is NOT security relevant.
• Use only for children whose weight is 15 to 50 kg / 33.1 to 110.2 lb.
• Attention! You have to use this seat always with the vehicle's 3-point belt! DO NOT use the booster without the vehicle's 3-point!
• When using this seat as a belt positioning booster, the shoulder portion of the vehicle's 3-point lap / shoulder belt must be at or just above child's shoulder!
• The integreated harness system is only for positioning child's with special needs!
• Follow all instructions on this child restraint. Look into the written instructions located under the seat and the added instructions using for children with special needs.
• Register your child restraint with your manufacturer!
• DO NOT use the seat in a seating position with an active frontal airbag! Always install this child restraint system forward-facing!
Suitable for a body weight of up to 50 kg / 110.2 lb:
RECARO Monza Reha has successfully passed an overload test at Dekra (Dresden) on the basis of the requirements of ECE R 44/04. Thus, the RECARO Monza Reha is
approved for the use as "restraint system for special needs ("S")".
Play safe with RECARO Isofix (model Seatfix):
Isofix (LATCH) is an internationally standardised fastening system for children car seats. Corresponding Isofix anchor points are firmly connected to the vehicle's
bodywork. With Isofix children car seats can be quickly and easily anchored in these standardised fixture points. In this way, the seat is safely secured in the vehicle, even
without a child and does not have to be retained with the 3-point vehicle belt. Please check beforehand whether your car has an Isofix anchor point.
Safety warnings
WARNING! DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY can occur
• Use only with children whose weight is between 15 and 50 kg / 33.1 and 110.2 lb and height is between 94 and 150 cm / 37 and 59".
• Discontinue use of your Monza Reha child restraint that is older than six years or has been in a severe crash to prevent injury due to deterioration or hidden damage.
See date of manufacture, located on restraint.
• Use only the vehicle's lap and shoulder belt (or "3-point") system when restraining the child in this booster seat.
• Follow all instructions on the child restraint and in this manual. Do NOT use this child restraint system until you have read and understood the instructions in this
manual and in your vehicle owner's manual. Do NOT let others install or use this child restraint system unless they understand how to use it.
• Do NOT make any technical modification to the child restraint system and use it only as outlined in these instructions. Otherwise, the safety function of the seat will be
reduced or completely voided.
• Do not use the Monza Reha in the front seat of a vehicle with a passenger airbag unless the airbag has been switched off. Use the child restraint only in rear seating
positions equipped with 3-point belts so that the child cannot be endangered by the front-seat passenger's active airbag.
• According to accident statistics, children are safer when properly restrained in the rear seating positions than in the front seating positions.
• Before each use, inspect the child restraint. Make sure nothing on the child restraint is damaged, loose or broken. If anything on the restraint appears damaged, loose or
broken, do NOT use the restraint.
• Failure to follow warnings on the child restraint labels could cause serious injury or death.
• 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.
• This restraint is NOT certified for aircraft use because this child restraint requires a lap AND shoulder belt.
• This booster is only to be used as a complete assembly of backrest and seat cushion. DO NOT use the seat cushion alone without the backrest!
• Placing your child in a hot child restraint may result in burns.
• Do NOT add accessories, toys, padding or other items to this child restraint unless provided by RECARO or THOMASHILFEN.
• This child restraint must NOT be used in the home, boats or other non-certified applications.
• NEVER use this booster seat in any vehicle seating position equipped with an active airbag unless recommended by the vehicle manufacturer.
• If a child restraint has been occupied in a crash or vehicle accident, it must be replaced; do NOT use the child restraint again. A crash can cause unseen damage and
using it again can cause serious injury or death.
• If the Monza Reha has been in a vehicle during a crash and no airbags were deployed, it does not need to be replaced.
• NEVER leave a child unattended even when sleeping.
• NEVER allow a child to play with this child restraint; it is NOT a toy.
• There is no guarantee that this child restraint will prevent injury or death in a particular crash. However, if you stress careful driving and proper use of your child
restraint, it can lower the risk of injury or death in most crashes.
General information
Extreme weather
When it is hot, we recommend 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, we recommend 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.
