I bought this for my daughter when I felt the hand-me-down Britax had served it's time. I liked the idea of the aluminum frame versus the plastic Britax one- her head is also more protected- and she seems ver comfy in it- The downsides are it's heavy, wide, and she almost always finds it too comfy- falling asleep in it it often- which is ruining my nap schedule- but all in all we love it.

The Best!

1The Young Sport is a safe and comfortable seat for my 14 month old that should be able to last her until age 4-5. She went right into it from her rear-facing seat at 12 months. She absolutely loves it and now enjoys going on trips in the car. I had never heard of Recaro
before, before researching forward-facing car seats. We were going to go with the high-end Britax
, but I liked the reviews on this Recaro. Glad we bought one. We are even thinking of getting another for our other car.
The Young Sport is well padded, comes with great instructions, and is a cinch to adjust. The cover is washable and the seat is extremely sturdy. We have even packed it on an around the world flight and it survived without a scratch. It is heavy enough to be sturdy, but not too heavy to be uncarryable.
Most people will probably be taken back by the price. Well, you get what you pay for, and you certainly will get your money's worth with the Recaro Young Sport.
One word of caution: although its not huge, it will take up a full seat in the back. In my SUV, we have it in the middle, and each passenger on the side has enough room to be comfortable. Be sure you measure.
Enjoy! and I hope this review helped.

great car seat

I love my son's Recaro car seat. It is very sturdy and feels very solidly built. I love the fact that the side impact wings prevent my son's head from falling forward when he falls asleep in the car. The LATCH System makes it very easy to install and I don't have to fight with the straps every time I buckle him up like I had to with his old Cosco Alpha Omega Car Seat. They were always getting twisted up no matter how careful we tried to be.

Recaro Young Sport
Reviewer: mamatodaniel , PA

This has been a great seat for us. I love the plushy material, the choice of colors, the 5 point harness, the ease of harness adjustment, the wings for supporting my son's head when he sleeps, the ease of installation, and the ability to convert it to a booster when we are ready. My only complaint about this seat (and it is one I gripe about to myself every time we use it, which is daily) is that there is only one position for the buckle (between the legs) as opposed to the 2 or more found on other seats. My son is 3 1/2 and the buckle is positioned too close to his crotch for comfort. This causes the upper portion (where it clips into the buckle) to dig into his legs. I REALLY hope Recaro takes this into consideration for their next version of the seat.

Great seat to grow in
Reviewer: Anonymous , Irvine, CA

We bought the Recaro Young Sport for our 3-1/2 years old son who was outgrowing his Britax Roundabout. The seat is very well built and has the flexibility of using the harness or seatbelt. You can adjust the seat as the child grows. Our son loves riding in his Recaro carseat.

The Best Car SEAT!!!!
Reviewer: Mother of Two , SF Bay Area, CA

When I was looking into buying a new carseat for my son, I didn't want to settle for less. Recaro makes one of (if not the best) seats in the world! From Aircraft to Racing these guys know what there doing, so it's no surprise that that there baby line is just as good! My son loves his carseat. He seems so comfortable in it. The fabric is luxiorious and well padded, it has the SIP (side impact protection), 5 point harness, Ergonomic, Multi-level height-adjustable headrest,easy to install, etc! You will not be disapointed with this purchase. No comparison!

Great seat

My daughter of 124 months loves her seat. Every time she gets into it she says "cuckle" for her buckle and starts to help with fastening the buckles. My only problem is that Ricaro does not make a transport bag for airline travel and it is not airline cert. I have had only one situation where after using it 1 month the latch holder broke on 1 side and Ricaro is sending us a new seat and a call tag for us to send back to old one.

Recaro Young Sport for a smallish 3 1/2 y.o.
Reviewer: Anonymous , CA
Date: June 23, 2006
When we had to purchase another car seat, I was reluctant to put my smallish 3 1/2 y.o. in another "car seat." She is not big enough for a traditional booster. I liked the versatility of this combination seat. It is comfortable, although I quickly removed the bottom cushion, b/c it moved around too much. I was not crazy about the color choices, but it's about function, not form. The straps are easy to adjust, although the instructions are a little confusing.

Great Seat
Reviewer: Craig & Ingrid , West Palm Beach

We purchased 2 Recaro Young Sport seats this year. We have two children 2 1/2 & 11 mo. old. The seats fit perfect inside our 06 fx 35, and they keep our older childs head from leaning too far to one side while she is sleeping. The one piece armrests are a great idea. Most other products look cheap compared to this one. Everyone loves the way these seats look. Money well spent. Highly recommended. :)nice.
