Reviews for RECARO Young Sport toddler car seat

I have had our Recaro for a year or so...cant think of one bad thing about it...in fact just ordered a second one for the BMW...A+.....daddy wants one too!

We have a Britax Boulevard in our other car, that our 14 mo old seems much more comfortable in. So far, after 4 months, she has yet to relax in this seat - she always seems uncomfortable. The side impact is a great safety feature - but she seems like she is straining to see, and to find comfort for her head! I want to get rid of this seat! But it was too much money....

I always used Recaro seats in my performance oriented cars, so when it came time to replace my son's infant car seat Recaro was a no-brainer. Right out of the box you can tell it's superior to Britax, and since it is also a booster seat he can use it for years and years. The Recaro is also built like a real car seat, which is quite a departure from most seats which are essentially tubs of plastic, padding, and a cover. My son been in his Recaro for nearly two years now and it still looks and works like new. And you should see the admiring eyes and hear the positive comments from the police department folks who run the car seat safety check points. The only disappointing aspect of the seat is the cheap-o crotch pad which looks like an afterthought, but I'm more concerned with the ability of the seat to protect my kid in a crash. Sure, the seat is a little pricey, but can you put a price on your kid's safety? If we are ever involved in a crash, I want to know that he was in the safest seat on the market. The safest seat is Recaro.

We've had this seat for a few weeks now and love it. When my 13-month old falls asleep in it, she looks very relaxed, as if she's meditating. Love the safety features. She sits a little lower than I had anticipated, so she can't see out the windows yet, but that's no big deal. We just returned from vacation where she spent 2 days in the chair each way and it worked out well. She seemed pretty comfortable. The only cons are so minor it's really barely worth mentioning. I have a Jetta so I have to bend down to put her in and the head protection makes it a little awkward to get her in the seat, but it's worth the trade off for the safety it provides. I'm sure that over the next few months I'll get more graceful at putting her in the seat and soon she'll be able to crawl in herself anyway. Also, the knobs to recline the chair are so stiff I can barely turn them, but I assume they'll loosen up over time. Finally, the chest clip seems a little less sturdy than the Chicco seat we had,(which is why we rated a 4 instead of 5) but it clasps well, so as long as it doesn't break it should be fine. Other than that, we love the seat and recommend it to everyone. I love that I'll never need to buy another seat. That makes it well worth the expense. Do wish it came in other colors, though.

This seat is awesome. Easy to install and remove. My son loves it. It's so plush he almost instantly falls asleep. Daddy wants one for himself too. I cant think of 1 negative thing.

We are very happy with this seat! We previously had a Britax, and were looking to purchase another one, but the comparable model to the Regent was just way too big! This is the perfect size and my 3 year old fits in it great. The only complaint I have is that the crotch pad comes off too easily. I find it lying on the ground next to my car all the time. So, I just took it off altogether. I was also concerned about the dark color being too hot, but it doesn't seem to be a problem. Overall, this is a great seat.

We are really pleased with the quality and design of these seats and both our children seem secure in them. My only disappointment is the recline is very limited once placed in the car, although the seats must be comfortable enough as both my children tend to fall asleep minutes after getting in the car.

This seat is a must for anyone who is looking for safety, comfort, style and more important, piece of mind. I'm so glad I bought this! We were strictly a Britax family, and now we're converts. Britax is great, but does not make a 5 point harness seat that converts to seat belt/booster for up to 80 lbs. I was pleasantly surprised by the speed of shipment, and wowed by the quality of the seat itself. Not to mention the fact that my 3 1/2 yr old son loves it. I'm telling all my friends!
