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 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!

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.
