Safety first!

I bought this car seat for my first grandchild who was transitioning from an infant seat. She is extremely fair and all other seats left marks on her neck. She just relaxes into the padded harness and seems to really like this seat. It also provides excellent vision through the front window - and the navi system entrances her at 15 months!
I believe this will be the last "special" seat that she will need. It provides a very secure place for her to sit with little to no movement in our vehicles with the latch system. I am very satisfied with my purchase and would recommend it to others with no reservations.
Plus the men in my family were impressed that I was purchasing a Recaro seat!

After much investigation, we decided on the recaro young sport for our son who is 27 pounds at one year. We called the helpful staff at elite who answered all of our questions and were knowledgeble in all of the products, and how they fit into your vechicle. What great selection and information!

my first recaro

i ordered the car seat for my one-year-old. (her older sister has the britax marathon.) after one day, i put my older child into the recaro. in my opinion, the recaro caused my one-year-old's head to tip forward when she was trying to sleep. she couldn't rest it on her side; but only tip forward. it also blocks the periferal vision. my older child has to look over to see her sister. i would probably buy the britax, if i had to do it all over again.

Look no further

I was concerned about the "wings" on this seat as she loves to look around outside while in the van. Seriously, not even an issue! I was so surprised after reading some of the other reviews. She adores it b/c it's "so soft and comfy" she says. I of course adore it b/c of the safety factor. I shopped til I was blue in the face for over a month and settled on this seat plus elitecareseats.com, they shipped amazingly fast and have been so great with communication emails. So trust me on this one and look no further. Just order it and have a cup of coffee and relax. :o)

I love this car seat!

We bought this car seat after going back and forth between the Britax Marathon and the Young Sport. We wanted a safe booster type seat for our 2-year-old that would also have something on the sides to catch his head when he fell asleep. We chose the Young Sport, because we knew that he was not crazy about the harness and although we would like to keep him in it as long as possible, we liked the fact that this car seat converts to a booster as he grows, whereas the Marathon didn't. I was a bit worried from reading other reviews about the sides getting in his way, but no problems there. He loves this car seat and rests his head on the side all the time. He can see just fine out the window of our Honda Odyssey. It is very easy to install. With the latch, you just hook the anchors and teher in and pull tightly while you put weight on the seat and it instantly is snug. We have only used the latch and I love that you just push the button to release the latch kind of like a seat belt rather than having to sqeeze the clip like on our old car seat. It is also very sturdy and fits very tightly.
The only thing I don't like is that it is not airline approved even with the harness which all the other same-type booster seats I looked at were. I also miss having a cup holder, but that's a small thing compared to how safe and comfy my child is. We are getting ready to move across the country and I am so glad that we spent the extra money and purchased a car seat that feels extremely safe. I would highly recommend this car seat.

Great Choice

I purchased this car seat for my year old son and I am completely satisfied. It is extremely sturdy compared to other seats I've seen in some retail stores. It looks great, but more importantly I feel that my son is as safe as can be in the Recaro Young sport. I would recommend this product to anyone who is looking to purchase a durable car seat. It is a little expensive but in my opinion well worth the money. I feel that I purchased the safest car seat for my son.

Recaro Young Sport
Reviewer: Anonymous , Pasadena, CA
Date: June 25, 2006
This is a solid, easy to install car seat. Fit adjustments are easy to make and my son finds this car seat extremely comfortable. We use the Young Sport in harness mode as my son is 3 years old. I have 2 issues with the Young Sport in harness mode. The first is the need for velcro on the harness straps to hold the straps to the sides of the seat(as on Britax models.) This would make getting in/out of the car seat much easier. Also, the seat pad is not stitched down. If my son climbs in/ out of the seat on his own, he bunches up the seat cushion. I then have to reposition the seat cushion properly. This car seat is in my husband's car and not used everyday, so the strap and seat pad issues are not major but are a bit irritating. Overall, we have been impressed with the quality construction, comfort, and solid feel of this seat. We would make this purchase again.
