We are highly satisfied with this car seat. The materials used are incredibly soft and comfortable to the touch, yet very durable and supportive. The small details, such as the padding on the shoulder straps and the ease with which the angle of the seat can be adjusted become key features since they have been so successfully implemented. This is especially true for the 5-point harness, which fits snug and comfortably and even includes a soft fabric "shield" between the child and the buckles to prevent any accidental pinching. Love it!!! I would recommend this seat to anyone! Our other choice was the Diono Radian, but we are so pleased to have gone with the Recaro instead and we won't be changing our minds.

This is our second Recaro ProSport (both in gray). We received our first ProSport three months ago (not purchased from Babyage). when the little one out grew her Graco 32 snugride infant carseat We wanted to make sure the ProSport works for our little one, us, and our vehicles before buying a second carseat.
Our 1 yr old seems to enjoy the Recaro and falls asleep easy on it. The husband didn't have any problem installing the ProSport in our cars. We have a 2000 Suzuki Grand Vitara and a 1993 M3 BMW. Recaro is designed for European cars but it works well with our Japanese made Grand Vitara (middle and side back seat). Husband did purchase the special LATCH attachments for our cars since they were made prior to LATCH requirement. However ProSport is designed for standard seat belt also (check your vehicle manual). As for me, I find putting our child in and taking her out from the carseat easy.
We chose the ProSport because of the longer term investment as a booster seat. Yes Recaro is expensive, but with promo discount and free shipping with Babyage, it was a good price for a high safety rating, great quality, and good long term investment

We already own two Recaro car seats, one is the Pro Ride and the other is the Pro Sport. We needed another one for Grammy's car. My husband and I considered getting a different brand, but when we compared the prices and the features we really felt that this particular brand of seat had the peace of mind we really want in a car seat. I googled the safest car seat, and this is the brand I found. I am extremely pleased with this seat and all of the safety features as well as the convenience features. I highly recommend this seat to anyone I know in the market for one.

I bought the Recaro Pro Sport for my son as he was approaching 40 lbs. I had the Cosco Alpha Omega Elite Seat prior and liked that seat as well. However, that seat was only rated to 40 lbs in the harness. My son is tall for his age and was nearing the weight limit for that seat prior to his 3rd birthday. I was not ready for him to begin using it in the booster mode (as it is rated to 100lbs in that way) so I began my search for another seat. I was looking for a seat with a higher weight harness capability so that pretty much narrowed down my search to about 3 brands (Sunshine Kids, Britax, and Recaro). I read the reviews on ALL of them, talked with people that owned some of them and then ultimately deciced to go with the Recaro. I think the deciding factor was the Easy Adjust no-rethread harness. This is a really great feature. My previous car seat had this as well and it is a feature I was not willing to give up. I was also concerned about the maximum height allowance for the seats becasue my son is tall. I wanted to be assurred that he would not outgrow this one too soon. We purchased 2 seats right away. They were easy to install and DO NOT move at all. I have them installed in a Buick Rendezvous and a Dodge Ram Quad Cab and were easy in both. My son seems very comfortable in the seat and I am very pleased with the amount of head and side protection that the seat offers. I thankfully have not been involved in any sort of accident so I cannot say how it stands up in that way, and I am hoping I never find out, but I do feel that I have done what I can to protect my "precious cargo". I would definitely recommend this seat.

We already owned a YoungSport, so when our old Britax was totalled (empty) in a collision & insurance told us they'd reimburse for replacement, we didn't think twice. The upgrades in this current model make adjustment even easier. Only drawback is that our GoGo Babyz Kidz Travelmate wheels won't attach to this model when we travel by air, but we'll just use the YoungSport then. Go, Recaro!
