My favorite seat
May 8, 2017
We have been using this seat for over 6 month now. I have tried numerous car seats from convertible to combination and infant! I was looking for a seat with a high height limit for my 5 year old son to remain in a harnessed seat. It's so comfortable, easy to use the straps and installs super quick. He loves riding in it and we love it so much that my daughter will be getting one too!
Pros
  • straps rarely twist
  • easy to install
  • comfortable
  • straps loosen and tighten easily
  • lots of room to grow
Best Uses
  • as a forward facing seat for kids who are reaching the height and weight limits of other seats or for kids who want a great comfy and safe booster that latches.

High quality and I feel my child is safe

This car seat is extremely well made. It is a bit heavy, but it remains stationary in the car, so the weight factor is a bit irrelevant. My 2 yr old loves it. She appears quite comfortable. Install was easy.

Quality Car Seat
April 20, 2017
We bought this car seat because my son's Britax was looking a little worse for the wear. So pleased with this purchase. Easy to install, quality material. Straps never tangle, easy to buckle. The seat itself is a bit larger/heavier, however, this is not a negative, as I drive a mini van. If I were being picky, the only drawback is that my son preferred the actual cup holder to the mesh cupholder. But again, that is being very picky. I would absolutely recommend buying this car seat
Pros
  • Safety, quality, easy installation

Love this carset
January 12, 2017
I love this carseat so much that I bought 2! Originally bought it because I am a car enthusiast and of course Recaro's history enticed me. My son is far more comfortable in this seat than any other we have owned/used. The straps are great, easy to buckle and never get twisted. This seat also seems much safter than most, you can tell it is well made.
Pros
  • everything
Cons
  • none

Safe and comfortable for toddlers!
December 15, 2016
I'm a mom of two toddlers. I purchased the same blue Recaro car seat for my first child and he loved it, so i got another one in pink for my younger daughter. The good thing about this car seat is that It does recline so if your child sleeps in car often then this would be a perfect car seat. And you can also manage the height that covers the head of the child so it keeps your child safe and safe through years! I really love this car seat and i can say that both of my kids loved it for sure!!

Great car seat
October 29, 2016
The car seat arrived promptly and in great condition. I got it for two six year old grandchildren who are ready for a booster seat. I'm still using the five point harness as I feel they are safer and frankly it is easier than using the car seat belts! The only negative besides the weight (which isn't really a negative) is that moving the headrest up is a challenge!

Excellent car seat
September 30, 2016
Excellent car seat I had previously bought this same carseat about 2 1/2 years ago to have in my car for my granddaughter. When my daughter needed a new one for her car this is the one I ordered. It is so easy to use.
Pros
  • I love that the straps do not twist. The buckles work perfectly, they are not like my daughters old car seat, so difficult that an adult has trouble unbuckling them. I live in South Georgia and have never had a problem with the car seat getting too hot for my granddaughter to sit in even after the car has been closed up.
Cons
  • None

We just got this car seat and we love it. There is a great range of colors to choose from. The car seat is safe, not hard to install, and is easy to get in/get out of. It is also very sturdy and well-constructed. It's great for growing kids, to last until they get big enough for a typical "booster" seat.

Recaro is the best in safety
April 3, 2016
Got 2 of these seats, one for my wife and one for me. Easy to install, second to none on safety, my 2 boys love it. No complaints from my 2 boys and that's what matters to me. And I drive a Mitsubishi Evolution 9 and my wife drives a Honda Pilot.
Pros
  • Comfortable padding for my boys, easy to strap in my boys, very sturdy if installed correctly, chair structure is tough and very safe. Overall the seat is great, safety is top notch when it comes to Recaro.
Cons
  • I just wish the chest buckle has padding on it.

Excellent Combo Seat
October 31, 2015
We are big believers in Recaro and this seat is fantastic. We just purchased our second one. It was time to move our youngest son into the convertible seat that my oldest was using. This combination seat should get us through our car seat days (and with the added protection of the 5-point harness). The low profile makes it very easy for entry and exit of the seat. It's made sturdy and the fabrics are well made too. We love the versatility that this seat provides as well as all the safety features. You won't be disappointed with this seat!

Easy installation which is nice, I usually buy Britax but worth their recalls decided to try this out, I'm not disappointed, it is actually a lot more user friendly. However the buckle pad slides off very easily add will as the seat pad. Fits better in my car than the Britax did leaves more space to fit 3 car seats

Packaging is horrible!
June 1, 2015
The car seat works as intended and my son is comfortable (four stars). The packaging of the item was horrible. It was wrapped in a plastic bag and placed in a "Recaro" box. Hopefully it is still safe for use after tumbling in the box without cushion. I'm pretty sure this was a previously returned item. I purchase the Vibe (different) color and it was packaged with cushions and we had to put together the harness. With this unit it was assembled, but not properly packaged.
Pros
  • Car seat works fine.
Cons
  • Packaging was horrible. Hopefully the car seat is still safe to use.

We love this car seat. There is ample padding so it is comfy for long trips. It feels very heavy so I would not reccommend to lug it around from car to car but it is very sturdy and feels superior to the Britax we replaced.

LOVE IT!
May 9, 2015
My 5 year old son saw this car seat in a store on display and immediately was drawn to it's cool look. It was time we upgraded his seat as he was to tall for his current seat and I wanted something I could continue to harness him in and switch to the car belt much later, so I decided to order this from Albee with my 20% off coupon and including the sale price, I got a GREAT deal! I am only giving it 4 stars due to the fact that the "cup holders" are a bit of a joke and is extremely hard for a child to actually put anything in the little nets. I supposed if its a hard sippy cup, it's not so bad, but if you have a fountain drink from a restaurant or something, it's kinda pointless. Also, we could not get this seat installed without zero movement. I feel like it has way to much play in it when you try to wiggle the back around. Every other car seat we have ever had, we were always able to get it so tight that you couldn't budge it whatsoever. My husband tells me it is plenty tight and safe so I trust him but it still makes me a bit nervous. This seat is also pretty bulky! We have it installed in a Dodge Durango so it fits great, but I have a Toyota Prius and I am not so sure I would be able to properly install it in there. I do however LOVE the great head support and the tangle free straps. It makes putting my son in this seat so quick and easy and he says its very comfy so that's a huge plus. Overall, I feel like my baby is safe, comfortable and happy in this seat so I love it too!

I have been a loyal RECARO customer since 2008 they're simply the best. However, Albee Company, I will not be buying anything else from you. Your customer service was horrible and I wasn't satisfy with the way my order/complaint were handled. So if your wanting to buy RECARO shop around and take my comment into consideration.

Easy to install, easy to get 4-year old in and out!
April 8, 2015
Excellent car seat! We have the ProRide (2011 model) and love it but we have a baby on the way so were wanting to get our 4 year old a new seat. I LOVE the update to the harness straps and the way the strap pads are permanently affixed. I can't see these straps getting twisted up, ever. The sides of the seat are low, making it super easy to get her in and out of the seat without bashing her head into the ceiling of our trucks. Overall, the seat sits lower than the ProRide (no big base thing on the bottom) so she can see out the window and front windshield better. Fits great and installs easily in a 2015 Toyota Tundra and a 2012 Toyota Tundra.
Pros
  • Low sides make for super easy entry and exit

We had the reacaro pro rides before. We are huge reacaro fans. I love this seat. It is big and bulk, but in a good way, you know it's solid and safe. Easy to install as well. I like that it has a recline to it, I wish it reclined a bit more because I still have to move their head back when they fall asleep in the seat. But, the seat is great otherwise it really wraps around them and I'm confident that they are in a safe seat. I love that it grows with them as well.

Great Seat!
March 17, 2015
I really like this seat overall, the fabric is very nice and comfortable and the blaze color is a very pretty red. Its a little difficult to get installed with the seat belt, but after a couple times of doing it I'm able to get a rock solid install in only a few minutes. The belt path is very awkward and this is the only thing I would say really needs Recaro to update in the future, however it does install very securely even though it seems kind of strange. The mesh holders on the side are completely useless, I can't even squeeze a sippy cup into them, let alone a small child being able to do it as some of the pictures show!! My 41# just turned four year old really loves the seat!
Pros
  • Very Safe
  • Super tight install
Cons
  • Bulky
  • Awkward belt path
