RECARO YOUNG SPORT HERO Montage- Und Gebrauchsanleitung Seite 13

3.2 Securing the seat and child in using the three-point seatbelt
· The recline position must not be used for group II or above!
· Allow your child to sit in the seat and insert the lap belt of the three-point seatbelt into the
front belt guides. Fasten the seatbelt buckle so that it closes with an audible click (fig. 24).
· Insert the diagonal belt into the guide on the headrest (fig. 25).
· Adjust the headrest for your child's height. The belt is in an optimal position when it runs over
the middle of the collarbone and not too close to the child's neck (fig. 26).
4. Cleaning and maintenance of the child seat
The buckle must always lock into place with an audible click. If it does not, this may be caused
by dirt in the buckle. As a counter measure, the buckle can be removed (chapter 3.1) and
cleaned with warm water. Before reinstalling, allow the buckle to dry thoroughly. The buckle
must not be lubricated with oil or grease. The cover of the RECARO Young Sport, Young Sport
HERO can be washed in the washing machine. We recommend washing the cover at 30 °C on
a gentle wash setting in order to protect the environment. If washed at higher temperatures
the colors may fade. Do not spin and never dry in a tumble drier, as the material and wadding
could separate from one another.
4.1 Removing the seat cover
First release the cover from the buttons on the head, back and seat sections. You can then
simply remove the cover (fig. 27).
Removing the seat cover is only possible if the harness system has previously been removed
(see chapter 3.1).
4.2 Replacing the harness (see also chapter 3.1)
· Installation is made easier if the buckle tongues are locked in place in the buckle (fig. 11).
· First unclip the base plate and turn it away to the side. Then remove the seat cushion and place
it to one side.
· Now insert the lap belt of the integral harness system from the top through the outer long slit
and downwards, then thread it through the inner slits back towards the top (1). Now insert the
locking plate into the loops (2) (fig. 28,29).
Important: All 4 lugs must be visible.
· Replace the seat cushion on the seat and insert the crotch strap through the opening from
above. Secure the loops with the mounting plate (fig. 30).
Important: All 4 hooks must lie outside the loops.
· Turn the base plate back to its original position and clip it in. Ensure that the T-section of the
adjuster strap remains readily accessible.
· Attach the cover to the seat and backrest.
· Place the headrest in the 2nd position from the bottom and insert the retaining belt for the
shoulder pads through the slits from front to back. Insert the guide rail as shown and pass
the retaining belt over the guide rail (fig. 31,32,33).
· Move the headrest up into the 3rd position and secure with the screw (fig. 34).
· Now push the shoulder pads from back side through the slits in the headrest cover and place
the cover on the headrest. Open the shoulder pads, insert the shoulder straps as shown and
insert these through the headrest from front to back. Ensure that you pass the straps over the
guide rail.
· Attach the shoulder straps to the T section. Important: Do not twist the straps (fig. 32,35).
· Finally, close the shoulder pads and ensure, by pulling firmly on the straps, that all the
connections are secure.

5. Notice
5.1 General information
· The instructions for use are located in a pocket in the base plate of the child seat. They
should always be replaced after use.
· Weight classes I, II, III (9 – 36 kg). Always install facing in the direction of travel.
· The seat and harness can be cleaned with lukewarm water and soap. Once removed the
cover can be washed according to the instructions on the care label.
· Some vehicle headrests interfere with the fitting of your child seat. In this case, please
remove the vehicle headrest prior to fitting. Please ensure that the vehicle headrest
does not create an undesirable gap between the child seat backrest and the vehicle seat
backrest. It is also possible that the ability to adjust the child seat headrest height may be
impaired by the presence of a headrest on the vehicle seat.
5.2 Warranty
· There is a two year warranty from the date of purchase for manufacturing or material
faults. Claims may only be asserted upon proof of the date of purchase. The warranty is
limited to child seats which have been used correctly and which are returned in a clean
and proper condition.
· The warranty does not cover natural wear and damage resulting from excessive strain or
inappropriate or improper use.
· Material: All our fabrics meet high standards with regard to colorfastness. However, UV
radiation may cause colors to fade. This is not a material fault, but simply normal wear and
tear, for which no warranty can be given.
· Buckle: Improper functioning of the buckle is usually the result of soiling, for which,
likewise, no warranty can be given.
5.3 Protecting your vehicle
We would like to point out that the use of child car seats may cause damage to the vehicle
seats. Safety Directive ECE R44 requires secure installation of the seat. Please take
appropriate measures to protect your vehicle seats (e.g. use a RECARO Car Seat Protector).
RECARO Child Safety GmbH & Co. KG or its dealers will not be liable for any damage to
vehicle seats.
