Safety Stripe System

TM 

Your child restraint is equipped with the easy-to-use RECARO 

Safety Stripe SystemTM. You will notice that your harness has 

a white stripe on the outside edges. This added safety feature 

will allow you to ensure that your harness is not twisted. The 

white stripe should always remain at the outside edge of the 

harness above the lower buckle. If it is not, please loosen your 

harness system and remove any twist prior to use.

Genius

TM

 Adjustment Technology

By pulling on the Genius

TM

 Adjust Harness Tightening Strap, 

the Genius Adjustment Technology properly places the harness 

at shoulder height while correctly positioning the head rest. 

This eliminates the need for manual adjustment of the head 

rest and harness slots as your child grows, whether using the 

Performance Crossover rear-facing or forward-facing. 
When using the Genius Adjustment Technology you MUST use it 

as a complete system. You MUST connect the chest clip, fasten 

the crotch buckle latch plates and pull the Genius Adjust Harness 

Tightening Strap to position the harness straps and head rest.

1.  Loosen the harness system 

by pressing the Genius 

Adjust lever and allowing 

the headrest and shoulder 

straps to raise to the highest 

position.

2.  Pull on the Genius Adjust 

Harness Tightening Strap 

to lower the head rest and 

shoulder straps until the 

harness is tight according 

to the pinch test (reference 

page 16)

3.  Pull shoulder straps to ensure 

the system is secure.
