Love the safety
April 27, 2012
I bought 2 of these for my sons... 2 and 7. They love that they both have the same seat and I love how easy is to install. I also love how their heads are going to be safe if god for bid something were to happen. My 7yr old picked this over the ProBooster because he wanted to stay as safe as he could in a carseat as long as he could. The padding is very comfortable too. When they fall asleep, their head just lean on the side and not fall forward. I also love the colors that they have available.

Love this seat!
April 27, 2012
My daughter loves this seat! It was a pain to install so make sure you take it some where to have it professionally installed because there are so many little things that you may not realize but a certified installer would know. For example...on my SUV this car seat is too wide to use the LATCH system so we had to use the seatbelt. One person who tried to install it didn't realize that, but the other person checked it and fixed it. It is a pretty big seat so depending on where you want it in your vehicle it may or may not fit. It seems like it is beyond safe with plenty of padding and it must be comfy since my daugher fell asleep in it the 2nd time she sat in it. Overall, I think its a great seat and am glad I got it. Not to mention for $179.99...thats a GREAT price compared to other stores that are selling this item.
Pros
  • Safe, plenty of padding especially around the head, easy to get child in and out of
Cons
  • base is too wide to use LATCH on my vehicle but thats a personal thing.

VERY VERY VERY SATISFIED MOMMY!!!
April 12, 2012
I am a first time mom (she is now 8 months). As a first time mom, I am very careful and extremely picky about what I get her, especially for her safety. I decided to get my baby a new car seat after I found that the "Houdini" in her allowed her to escape from her Gracco car seat. I researched car seats for about 2 months online, safety manuals and write up and other parents. It finally came down to the Britax and the Recaro brands. After reading rave reviews and the history of the Recaro, I finally purchased the Recaro Proride. I just ordered it this morning so I have not used it yet but I am very excited. I feel like I have made the absolute best choice for my beautiful and precious baby girl. I would also like to express how extremely pleased I am with the Albee Baby web site. I found the Recaro Proride on this web site for $179.99 (the cheapest I have found it anywhere). I was please to see that I was NOT charged any Taxes or Shipping. I paid only the $179.99. I will be using this web site for other purchases.
Pros
  • The overwhelming safety reviews
  • Sturdy structure
  • Beautiful style
Cons
  • TBD

Safe and Sturdy!
April 8, 2012
Just got this last week, and we love it! It fits nicely in the backseat of my wagon without having the front seat uncomfortably close to the dashboard---my (slender) 6' husband can also fit between it and the Radian XTSL in the back seat, and I feel like my daughter is safe and secure in it. She is not a fat baby--and seems more comfy (finally graduating from her Graco Snugride 30). It is a tall seat, so it is an adjustment of where I look to see her in the baby mirror on the headrest, but I can still do it. The price was very right---we were considering two other top-rated brands Diono and Britax, but yay for the sale!
Pros
  • Just about everything--so far! This seat would probably fit in most wagons or sedans! Top-rated safety!
Cons
  • Could get warm in the summer

I have been through numerous carseats with my three boys. This one is the best. I can't even think of anything I don't love about it. EASIEST to install, solid, comfortable. I will never buy another brand of carseat again.
Pros
  • everything!!
Cons
  • nothing

Awesome carseat
January 6, 2012
This is a great, sturdy carseat that will last a long time. It fits perfectly in our small car rear facing, and love that it matches the actual seats of the car itself. Very soft material for baby too.
Pros
  • Very sturdy, well made. Material seems comfortable for baby, straps dont get tangled. Easy to use, easy to latch.
Cons
  • It's really tall - you cant use the baby mirrors to see your baby if you rear face. And it's really hard to hand baby things from the front seat too.
