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.
Suitable for a body weight of up to 36 kg / 79.4 lb:
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")".
During the course of this test it was verified that the 5-point safety 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
safety 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 safety belt system, including the guide rail, can be removed. When
removing the 5-point safety 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
The children car seat RECARO Sport HERO Reha is designed for the transport of children with special needs in vehicles. The clinical pictures are amongst others:
• cerebral palsy
• hypotony syndrome of unspecific genesis
• muscular dystrophy
• different syndrome diseases
The car seat is characterized by its shell design and pad system, which provide for additional seating safety, stabilization of head and pelvis, and support / control of
the feet.
Thus, the RECARO Sport HERO Reha meets the needs of disabled children very well.
Application risks / contraindications
