Young Sport by Recaro
Reviewer: Pam Morocco , Somerset, PA
Date: June 25, 2006
The grandchildren all love this seat and it's the most secure fitting seat we've ever had.
Even the people at the car dealers were impressed with this car seat. We replaced all the other car seats we had with Recaro and we like the young sport best.

Great car seat!

This car seat is very well-padded with very soft fabric. It's very easy to use. My only concern is that it seems to be best for larger children. To be properly fitted in this seat at 20 pounds, you child would need to be tall for their age.

Best car seat by far!

The Recaro Young Sport car seat is simply the best and safest seat I have encountered. I bought this seat after using the Eddie Bauer 3 & 1 for a short period of time and being very disappointed in it. The Recaro just exudes safety in all aspects. I am now planning on buying yet another Young Sport for my second child. I feel that my children are truly buckled into the safest car seat made today. Also, I purchased this car seat through EliteCarSeats.com online at 10:30am on a Monday morning. The seat was delivered the next afternoon! I couldn't believe the fast service!

We love to hear that. Our warehouse is outside of Detroit, so shipping to those in Chicago is one day for ground shipping, and unless there is an issue with a credit card, products always ship the same day. Thanks for the feedback!

Excellent!

I have previously owned three car seats manufactured by Eddie Bauer, Mercedes Benz, and Graco. I have never been happier as I am with this car seat. It is very well made and has an upper piece that keeps my daughter's head from falling to one side when she is sleeping in it. I can't think of anything that I would improve. I was also very pleased with the order and delivery from EliteCarSeats.com. It arrived promptly the day that they had promised. I have already recommended this seat to friends and they love it as well.

wonderful, comfy seat

I had the Britax Galaxy for the convertible.
It is nothing compared to this Recaro. I did weeks of research to find a good carseat. It is so comfortable, my son doesn't ever rush to get out. Indeed, if he has fallen asleep in it, he shrieks at me for trying to get him out of his cozy carseat. The Recaro Young sport is wonderfully designed, especially when you have a taller toddler.(which is why we gave up the britax, which should have lasted another year)
The Recaro has the latch system, back latch at the head. and if you dont' have a latch compatible car, then it is still safely anchored by a well designed seatbelt spot. it also has the side shields which will not only protect from side imapact and broken glass, but provides a wonderful support for a sleepy head. It is nice and cushy. My only (very minor) complaints are the pad that protects the crotch area comes off too easily. I have almost lost it on several occasions. And the fabric doesn't breath overly well, making for a sweaty kid in the summer. both easily remedied .(sew on the pad, and layer a thin cotton blanket).
I love the idea of this carseat growing with my son.
it is not a convertible, though, it doesn't recline too much and is not fit for a young toddler. it is most definatly a toddler/booster seat.
If was to get a convertible again I would get the Britax Boulevard. But the Recaro is definately the next carseat after a convertible. The best out there. Recaro knows what they are doing.

Good but not great
Reviewer: Anonymous , Vancouver, WA
Date: June 24, 2006
I read tons of reviews before choosing this car seat. I couldn't see it in person because no stores in our area carried it. I do like the car seat and so does my son. The wings on the sides are great and they don't seem to obstruct his view like other reviewers have mentioned. The thing that is annoying is the padding on the seat. The pad for the crotch strap and the extra cushion pad felt great but they come off easily. The crotch pad came off every time I took my 2 year old son out of the seat. We got rid of that pretty fast. The cushion he sits on isn't fastened to the seat which I think is ridiculous. It is constantly sliding around, getting caught underneath him or bunched up if I need to shift him in the seat or he struggles at all. An ubsurd design! I tried velcro but it didn't stick well to the padding. I would get rid of it too but the seat underneath isn't padded much at all. Overall its a good carseat but I expected a little more thought into the design.

Great seat and easy to adjust!
Reviewer: Anonymous , Anchorage, AK

I bought this car seat when my daughter was 22 months old (she is now 25 months). I love how easily the straps can be loosened or tightened. This feature makes it easy for me to use the seat with or without her wearing a jacket and with my 14 month old daughter now too. I can easily put either child in the seat without having to reconfigure the entire strap system. The material washes well and feels soft and comfortable. I recently took the seat on an airplane. My daughter slept most of the long flight without having her head and neck droop to the side. My only complaint is the seat's weight when trying to carry it around, however, I do not travel often so this won't be too much of a burden. Overal, my girls and I are really enjoying the seat and highly recommend it!

Mexican review
Reviewer: gabriela garcia , xalapa, veracruz, mexico
Date: June 24, 2006
Hi, i live in veracruz in mexico, i really love this carseat, is so soft and my baby girl loved. I feel very secure with the carseat, because here in Mexico we have hard traffic! So, i really recomended because people like me, who have to bring your child alone this is a great idea.! PS forgive my bad english.
