25 of 26 people found the following review helpful.We just purchased this car seat after our almost 4 year old daughter became to tall for her Recaro convertible seats. This is the only brand of car seat that we will choose going forward. I have had several other harness toddler seats and my daughter complains that they are so uncomfortable. We chose to switch to this one when we bought a new vehicle. We had previously been switching between the Nautilus and a no back booster. She did not like either one and could not seem to get comfortable in them. We purchased the "slate" color option. The picture on the websites do not do this color justice. I was really hoping that it was not as yellow as it appears and it is not. This is a darker tan color with very dark blue and a lighter gray. The pockets on the sides are a wonderful addition to the seats and are larger than the ProSport seat which this is replacing. The adjustment process was very quick with this seat and I am so grateful for the ease of that with an almost 4 year old who does not want to sit for long while I fit her carseat. The padding for comfortability in this seat is amazing and I believe it may be more comfortable than my seat in the car. Recaro is known for providing excellent safety features. They make race seats for goodness sake. The headrest is quite comfortable and I love the fact that the wings come out further than the majority of seats in case there is a collision. I have had wonderful experiences with Recaro customer service and they have always done anything they can to help...same with Amazon. This seat has the ability to grow with her for the remainder of her time in a car seat. I do not care for the Britax seats and I believe that they are about the only seat on the market to compare to Recaro. If you are looking for the safest most comfortable seat...this is it. They also updated the Harness system so that the straps do not get twisted. This is a great feature when getting in and out of the car and not wanting to worry about the straps twisting. It helps to ensure that your child is placed properly in the seat. When she sat in it for our first long trip, 6 hours in she said "Mommy this seat is so comfy I think I'll take a nap". She was out in 5 minutes. She hadn't slept in a car seat since she fit in her Recaro Convertibles.
10 of 10 people found the following review helpful.Prior to this car seat, I owned a Graco and two Britax. When I started using Britax, I did not think car seats were made any better. My daughter was in a Britax Marathon 70-G3 Convertible Car Seat, Onyx before this seat. I truly did not think car seats could be made better at all. In fact, I would have probably argued with you that I had the safest one. I felt the Britax was very safe but it was very hard to get my daughter in and out of the seat, the sides were high. Also, the black fabric was always warm. I keep my car in the garage; the fabric was never exposed to direct sunlight. However, if I put my daughter in the seat, it would get warm on short drives. That was a big concern of mine.I am ashamed to admit I had never heard of Recaro. My daughter is 2 years and nine month and felt the Britax was a tight fit for her. I was already on the lookout for a new seat. Little did I know that Recaro is located in Germany from a town I used to live near, Kaiserslautern, or K-town is what we called it. My father was a fighter pilot, Recaro makes airplane seats, did not know that. They also make racing seats.When I received the seat I felt like I was looking at one of my father's fighter seats from back in the day or looking at a racing seat for Formula One. It did not have any protection in the box but it did not matter, the seat is made so well it was protected on it owns. At first I could not find the manual on the seat. I looked everywhere. It is behind the right side of the seat.I read the manual for several hours to get familiar with the chair. I needed it in harness mode; booster mode is for when my daughter gets older. You can never learn too much about your child's car seat. I wanted to make sure I knew how to work every function and that it was installed correctly. I even spent a few hours having my daughter get in and out of the seat prior to install to make sure I knew how the seat worked, that she fit. This is really important; you want to make sure the straps are aligned properly prior to installing it. My daughter enjoyed `trying it out' while I adjusted it for her fit.When I removed the Britax, which I still think is an incredible brand; I was shocked at how flimsy it felt compared to the Recaro. After getting myself familiar with the Recaro, I found myself comparing areas and was disappointed in the Britax. Again, it is a great seat but it is NOT a Recaro! The Britax has a plastic back and when you adjust the headrest area, it moves all around. To do so with the Recaro, it has a steel bar across the back you pull out, and place in. There is no movement, it is a firm fit! Everything on the Recaro was just beyond my expectations; I have never seen a car seat this well made.Installing it was easy in my Mazda 3 sedan. My car is compact and I did not feel I would have a lot of room. It of course is forward facing but it fit great! I have the latch system so I know it is secure and safe. I also have the top tether which gives me the added security for the top of the seat. I tried to wiggle the seat, it was in there!The first time I used it my daughter was so happy. It is a lot easier to get her in and out of and she tells me it is more comfortable. Also, even though the seat is primarily black, the fabric does not get hot like the Britax. I was shocked! I received it during the hottest months here in North Carolina and it never feels warm and my daughter never complains.For the last few weeks that I have owned it, I have received so many compliments. I feel I was the last person on the earth to know about Recaro. A few people have said they love it and want to look at it and are so surprised at the quality but then they quickly say they know Recaro makes racing seats, I shake my head like I was part of the club, even though I wasn't.Not knowing what to expect, I am so blown away by this seat. I feel I am getting the full use of it since I am using it in harness mode now and will switch to the booster mode when my daughter is older. Now that I know this is the only seat you will need from here on out, I feel very confident and secure knowing how safe she is. If you have not heard on Recaro, look them up and also check them out locally. The quality will blow you away. I know it did for me.
8 of 9 people found the following review helpful.We purchased a Recaro convertible seat when my daughter turned one, but now that her brother needs that seat, we bought this one to carry her through the next few years. We are big fans of Recaro from our first seat, and this one just sealed it for us. You can tell this company knows what they're doing when it comes to safe seats. Yes, you'll pay a little more than the store brands, but for me, it's completely worth it to know that I've put my child in the safest seat I could find.This seat installed quickly & easily. I love the new, updated features too. Attaching the shoulder pads to the back of the seat (what they call the HERO system) was such a simple change, but really genius. They can't be pulled off by a bored toddler and they're always in the right place. Also, they do a great job of helping to keep the straps from getting twisted, which brings me to my favorite feature of this seat: the white striping on one side of the straps! Again, it's such a simple idea, but what a difference! You can tell at a glance whether the strap is twisted or not. And to anyone who's ever been in a hurry trying to get their child buckled in safely, I don't need to tell you how great it is to not be messing around with those straps! The seat is also very well padded (lots of nice memory foam in the seat!), easily adjustable, and my daughter absolutely loves it.There is no question in my mind that any future seats we buy will come from Recaro!
