General instructions
Please note:
The 5-point safety belt integrated in the seat is intended for the use in ECE group I (up to 18 kg / 39.7 lb) only. This requires that the seat must be secured with the
vehicle's 3-point belt before.
RECARO Sport HERO Reha has successfully passed an overload test at Dekra (Dresden) on the basis of the requirements of ECE R 44/04. Thus, the RECARO Sport HERO
Reha is approved for the use as "restraint system for special needs ("S")".
For use in ECE group II-III (18 kg/39.7 Ib up to 36 kg/79.4 Ib):
During the course of this test it was verified that the 5-point belt for children with a body weight of over 18 kg (39.7 lb) can be used as an additional positioning belt. In
this case, ALWAYS secure your child using the vehicle's 3-point safety belt and observe the notes on correct installation contained in the original RECARO Instructions for
Installation and Use.
The 5-point positioning belt integrated into the child seat is NOT a safety-relevant item. In this case the child is restrained by the vehicle's 3-point safety belt. The 5-point
belt is only intended for use as a positioning belt to provide additional support for children with a body weight of between 18 and 36 kg (39.7 and 79.4 lb).
To enable your child to use the RECARO Sport HERO Reha for the longest possible time, the 5-point belt system, including the guide rail, can be removed. When
removing the 5-point belt system please observe the notes contained in the original RECARO Instructions for Installation and Use. If it is also intended to use a 5-point
positioning belt for larger children, we recommend the use of our belt extension (item code.: 824)
Purpose / indication
