Generally, we recommend using the 0/0+ infant carrier for as long as possible, as the baby is in the safest position rearward facing.
Only when the child reaches 13kg  or the crown of  the child’s head reaches above the top of the backrest is it time to change to the next size car seat. 

Damage, which may not be visible to the untrained eye, may occur to the seat at an impact speed of just 10 km/h. We recommend that you err on the side of safety and replace the child car seat.

è     Rearward facing child safety seats MUST NOT be used on a passenger seat equipped with an activated side airbag.  It is essential that all warnings on the child seat, in the child seat user manual, the vehicle manual and warning signs within the car are complied with.

Many different factors play an important role, such as the impact speed, the type of crash, etc. In this case, the seat should be replaced.

è     No, this infant carrier is not permitted to be used on board aircraft.

You can use the infant carrier with the following strollers/buggies: RECARO Akuna, Babyzen by RECARO, TFK – Trends for Kids „Buggster“ /„Joggster“, Bugaboo „Cameleon“, I-Candy "Apple"/ "Apple Jogger", I-Candy “Peach”,  Baby Jogger "City Micro" / "City Mini" / "City Classic" / "City Elite" / "Summit 360", “Baby Jogger “City Select”, Quinna “Buzz”.

è     First loosen the harness then pull the mechanism with the yellow marking on the rear of the seat towards you then lift the backrest to the desired position.

è     When children wear snowsuits or thick anoraks in the car in winter, the belts may be too short to secure your child comfortably. Usually, the children have reached the upper end of weight category for which the child seat in question is designed. In principle, however, it would be better to dispense with excess clothing, rather than change to the next-stage seat too early. You should therefore dress your child appropriately to fit within the belts and regulate the temperature in the car. Only change to the follow-on seat when your child has reached the corresponding weight.

è     Despite our high-quality fabrics, the covers will wear with time: sunlight and dirt will take their toll on the fabric.
RECARO original replacement covers are available from your retailer in a limited number of designs. Please note that the cover is part of the design certification of the child seat – therefore, only an original RECARO cover should be used.

è     All our covers can be hand or machine washed at a maximum temperature of 30°C. Read the washing and care instructions on the cover. Use a slower spin speed and do not tumble dry.

Yes, this baby shell can also be secured very simply using the vehicle’s 3-point belt.

No, you can anchor this child seat to the Isofix point of your vehicle with the aid of the Isofix base or secure it with the vehicle’s 3-point belt.

è    Our Isofix system is semi-universally certified. The system can be used in any Isofix vehicle in which the base can be latched in place, where the seat can be fitted according to the instructions, and where the vehicle manufacturer allows the use of semi-universal Isofix systems.Please see our Isofix type list for vehicles tested by us.

PLEASE NOTE:

1) Many, especially older vehicles only have a 2-point belt (lap belt) in the centre. RECARO child seats must not be secured with this belt system.

This depends on the manufacturer and model year, so please enquire at the manufacturer/car dealer.
