I use this seat mostly for my 3 yr old in my car and he loves it. I have also used it with my 2 yr old (only in a pinch since he usually is rear-facing still)and 4 yr old nephew and it adjusts easily. I bought this seat because I love all my other Recaro seats and the ProSport does not disappoint. (I also own a Recaro ProRide, Como, Signo, Signo G2, Sunshine Radian XTSL, Britax Companion, Britax Decathalon, Graco snugride)I bought my 1st Recaro seat about 3 yrs ago because my husband loved it and it got good safety ratings. Now, I only use other seats if I have to. Install was a breeze and super tight (as with all my Recaro seats), very comfortable (from what my son says), easy to strap child in correctly every time (not the case with the Radian seat), fits well in our cars (grand caravan, buick rendezvoux, acura integra). I have nothing bad to say about this seat. Only downside is the cost but considering a weight max of 120lbs I feel comfortable with the price. I would absolutely recommend this seat! Also, I have bought 4 seats off Amazon and had a good experience every time. I even returned one (never used) and return was very easy and quick.Update:Very happy with the seat still. My 3 yr old loves it. He is comfortable and still falls asleep in the car on longer rides. We just bought a 2nd one to use when my 2 yr old is FF. I was curious about the harness strap length as I have seen a few people note it might be too short. I am 60" and 94lbs (a bit larger than max allowable by recaro for harness use) and I could not fit in the harness. However, it was pretty close. I would probably have to be 6 inches shorter to fit correctly. Hard to say for sure though. I did try the booster only mode and found it comfortable. If you have a tall or husky child, this seat might not work in harness mode as long as advertised but I think it is still a worthwhile purchase. A very sturdy, safe, easy to use carseat.Yet another update:My kids & I were in a car accident on the freeway (!) Car was totaled, I was injured, the people in the car that hit us were injured, and my kids were unharmed. Other guys insurance company paid for me to buy new seats (no obvious damage to the seats but you can't just assume they are safe after a crash) and I bought 3 new Recaro seats off amazon. After seeing how well the seats kept my kids safe in this accident, I will never buy anything else!
123 of 131 people found the following review helpful.My wife and I are new parents, and we may fall for the gimmicks offered by the general baby market. However, I feel strongly about providing the best support in a vehicle possible to kids who are not fully formed, and Recaro delivers. I held on to our rear facing child seat, until my son was about to outgrow it any day now, and he was whiny/fussy every time in it. Even though this didn't bother me as long as he was safe, I knew the time was coming that we had to upgrade, so I started to research. I found several seats that claimed all kinds of things, and every price tag. I asked other parents, and even looked up independent reviews online, but I came to the conclusion. If you are after "piece of mind," and want the safest seat possible for your little one, don't shop at your local retailer or the brands that are offered to any passer by at the plaza. Recaro has revolutionized the safety seats for over 100 years now, and after buying one, I'm not disappointed. Craftsmanship, is far superior to the loose/falling apart local store brands, and the materials feel amazing for a baby seat. It's big, but fits my 15 month old, and he absolutely loves it. I can't sit in the seat to tell you how it feels for extensive periods, but the way it felt, made all the other low end padded chairs seem like a rip off. Yes this chair is over 200 dollars, but would I be happy buying a 100 dollar chair that my son hated? or wouldn't sit in? Just to find out that I should of purchased the model that everyone is raving about? NO. Believe the reviews, this thing is really nice.I will update the review if anything should change my mind or an accident happens, I will report back anything learned. Also the Recaro website doesn't provide fabric used for each of the seats, so I emailed them, and will copy it below. Enjoy, if you are able to purchase this seat... You will be happy, and so will your little one.Misty - Micro SuedeBlue Opal - Soft Cotton PolyMidnight - MicrofiberTwo new seats added:ENVY - SOFT COTTON POLY MATERIALHANNA - DENIERFour new seats added:Sable - MicrosuedeAspen - MicrosuedeRiley - Polyester blend including tetronBlaze - Polyester blend including tetron
82 of 87 people found the following review helpful.Just wanted to let everyone know that I spoke with Recaro today and beginning in July 2011, they started manufacturing this model with a longer harness and they will send a new replacement harness to anyone who purchased the previous model. Hope this helps those of you (like myself) who were struggling with short straps! It is really a great (albeit heavy) seat that had a major flaw, which seems to have now been corrected!
