KNOWING YOUR NEW MONTECARLO R1
Your new Montecarlo R1 car seat from JANÉ is designed to protect children aged from about one and a half years weighing not less than 30 lbs (13.6 Kg.) to
approximately 12 years of age weighing not more than 100 lbs (45 Kg.)
If your child needs a booster seat, we do recommend choose one with backrest. Booster cushions can offer sufficient lateral support in the lap area, but not in
the head and torso areas. The use of a booster seat with backrest, complies with the latest findings in child safety engineering. The head and body of the child
are protected laterally, which is not only safer in the event of an accident, but also ergonomically more comfortable when your child falls asleep in the seat.
If you restraint your Montecarlo R1 into the car with LATCH, the seat is more stable, you wouldn’t have to tie it when it is not occupied and your child is better
protected in the event of side-impact accidents.
For more information on the use and fitting of the Montecarlo R1, consult our website: http://www.jane-usa.com
To enhance the child’s safety, the Montecarlo R1 car seat is provided with:
• A system for fitting this Car Seat to LACTH in your car;
• A headrest with 5 different height positions to keep the child protected
while he/she grows;
• Higher sides, which provide greater protection against side impact;
• Impact-absorbing material on the sides and center of the headrest;
• Reinforced headrest to protect against twisting.
To improve its adaptability and your child’s comfort, the Montecarlo R1 car
seat includes the following features:
• Backrest and headrest whose widths can be adjusted independently of
one another;
• Reclining seat with two different positions;
• Height-adjustments armrest;
• Ventilation system in the moldings;
• Extra padding.

WARNINGS
Use only with children who weigh between
30 and 100 lbs (13,6 and 45 kg) and whose
height is 4’9” (1,5 meters) or less and who
are capable of sitting upright alone
Failure to follow these warnings can result
in the death or serious injury of your child.
According to accident statistics, children are
safer when properly restrained in the rear
seating positions than in the front seating
positions.
Based on crash statistics, the National High-
way Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)
recommends that parents select the rear
seat as the safest location for a properly
positioned booster seat.
Use this car seat only on the vehicle seats
that face forward. Do not use on seats that
face the sides or rear of the vehicle.
Follow all instructions on this child restraint

5
english
and in the written instructions located under
the booster.
Register your child restraint with the
manufacturer.
Secure this child restraint with a vehicle
belt.
Use only the vehicle’s lap and shoulder belt
system when restraining the child in this
booster seat.

DO NOT use this booster seat with two-
point vehicle belts (lap belt only or shoul-
der belt only). Your child could be seriously
injured in the event of a crash
Use this booster seat forward-facing
only.
This booster seat must not be used in the
home, in boats, or in other non-certified
applications.
DO NOT use any parts of this booster seat
with other seat cushions or backrest.
The primary protection for occupants of a
vehicle in a collision is the structure of the
vehicle itself; a booster seat will not pro-
tect a child when the vehicle is seriously
impacted. However, correctly installed, a
booster seat will substantially improve the
chances for survival in most crashes. Make
sure that all users fully understand the

7
english
correct ways to use this booster seat in a
vehicle.
Check vehicle instructions for more infor-
mation about air bag/child restraint use.
For vehicles with an air bag, but without
a back seat, refer to your vehicle owner’s
manual.
Make sure the shoulder belt height is
correct for your child’s size.
The shoulder belt must always be adjusted
snugly across the child’s chest.
Never take your child out of the child
restraint or try to tend to your child’s
needs while the vehicle is moving. Never
leave child unattended.
Do not use this car seat with damaged or
missing parts.
Do not substitute parts or try to modify
this car seat in any way.

that he/she must not play with the belts or

sult in burns. To avoid it take the following
precautions:
1. Park in the shade or where sun does not
directly hit the car seat.
2. Cover the car seat with a sheet or blanket
when not in use.
3. Check for hot seat and car buckles before
