• EasyAdjust 5-Point Harness
Harness and head restraint are adjusted together so no re-threading is necessary to properly position the harness shoulder straps to the child.
• QuickPull Front Adjust Harness
Convenient frontally located harness adjuster allows for no-hassle harness adjustment.
• TrueLock Belt Lock-Off
Lock-off mechanism locks the vehicle seat belt in the belt path for optimum safety in the forward-facing position.
• CoolMesh Air Ventilation
The mesh insert combines with RECARO’s unique air circulation system to promote airflow through the ProRIDE, keeping your child cool and comfortable.
• EPS Foam
Expanded Polystyrene “EPS” foam absorbs crash force energy through the ProRIDE for added protection.
Other Premium Features
RECARO Side Impact Protection Protects 5 vulnerable areas of your child during a side impact collision.
RECARO developed and optimized side impact protection for race car seats in the 1990's then quickly adapted our expertise to set a new standard for premium child safety seats.
HEAD: The pronounced head wings protect your child from the likelihood of serious head injuries caused by the side-to-side crash forces common during side impact collisions.
FACE: Intruding objects, such as the door of a vehicle can cause harm to your child’s soft facial tissue. Pronounced head wings provide a barrier between your child and intruding objects.
NECK: The proprietary head restraint and ergonomic shell limit lateral movement of your child’s neck during a side impact collision, reducing the risk of neck and spinal cord injuries.
TORSO: Your child’s torso is vulnerable to internal injuries during a side impact collision. Pronounced side bolsters limit extreme side-to-side crash forces.
PELVIS: RECARO’s hip and thigh bolsters are designed to protect your child from pelvic fractures and muscle damage, which can occur during a side impact collision.
The ProRIDE is tested to and exceeds all U.S. federal regulations for safety. All RECARO seats are evaluated in our seating competency centers in both the U.S. and Europe.
U.S. federally mandated testing standards RECARO seats are required to meet:
• FMVSS 213
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards for Child Restraint Systems
• FMVSS 302
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards for Flammability of Interior Materials
Currently there is no U.S. side impact testing standard requirement. RECARO submits our child safety restraints for side impact testing through the ADAC. The ProRIDE passes ADAC side impact testing standards.
• ADAC
Most recognized Automotive Testing Organization in Europe for Side Impact Protection Testing
• The ProRIDE is certified for use in aircraft
• Can be used both rear facing and forward facing in aircraft
• Aircraft seat belt must be used because LATCH is not available on aircraft
Quality Design & Development
Quality is synonymous with RECARO. We take great measures in engineering and the production of our child car seats. In order to maintain the highest levels of quality control the ProRIDE is “Assembled in the U.S.A..”
Every RECARO child car seat is designed with the added advantage of our auto racing safety expertise, automotive seating and ergonomic comfort knowledge.
RECARO engineers work closely with the engineers at many of the automotive companies around the world. The seats we design for the automotive industry are developed years before the car is sold to the public. Our extensive knowledge of current and future automotive seating technology gives RECARO a unique advantage developing child car seats.
