The ProRIDE is part of the world class ProSERIES of child safety seats by RECARO, the international leader in automobile, race car and child seat technology and a leading innovator in side impact protection.


Assembled in the U.S.A., the ProRIDE is a high quality child restraint that provides parents and children the luxury and safety they need for happy travels. The ProRIDE incorporates RECARO's Side Impact Protection designed to distinctly protect each of the 5 vulnerable areas of a child in a side impact collision - their head, neck, face, torso and pelvis.

RECARO developed and optimized side impact protection for race car seats in the 1990's then quickly adapted our expertise to set a new standard for premium child safety seats. EPS energy absorbing foam and the proprietary RECARO seat structure design combine to provide seating safety, style and comfort for your little one, once reserved only for the most prestigious automobile and racing seats in the world.

The ProRIDE is a convertible car seat appropriate for children weighing between 5 to 35 pounds when used rear-facing and 20 to 70 pounds forward-facing. (A child must also be less than 50 inches tall to use the ProRIDE.)

RECARO, known throughout the world for its unique ergonomic designs has included the sumptuous “RECARO” feel in the ProRIDE. Real automotive PUR comfort foam in the seat, soft wear resistant fabric, CoolMesh Air Ventilation System and an ergonomic shell design provide luxury comfort qualities in the ProRIDE that are equal to the RECARO name.

The ProRIDE is tested to and exceeds all U.S. federal regulations for safety.

"All RECARO seats are evaluated in our seating competency centers in both the U.S. and Europe. For added safety, we test our seats through independent agencies including the globally respected ADAC. Because of our rigorous testing to the world’s most stringent safety standards, RECARO confidently believes our seats are the safest in the market. RECARO recently celebrated its 100th anniversary and was named one of the “Brands of the Century” in 2009. With expertise designing seats for the most prestigious automobiles, world-class race cars and premium child car seats, you can be assured of the quality and safety of the ProRIDE seat by RECARO."

5.00 rating Great Product!! By

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.

4.00 rating A nice slim seat perfert for smaller cars (and slimmer babies) By
January 22, 2011
Good - A bit slim and a bit on the tall side, making it great for smaller cars. Good features with a great range in versatility.. Solid build and nice looks.

Bad - Slim design means more snug. Don't have much room on the shoulder and hips. A bit pricey. Hard to find and test out in stores.

Vehicle used with - Honda Accord ('00), Toyota Matrix ('09)

Time used - almost 6 months

Recommend - Yes

Overall - Great product. I'm mainly driving a Matrix and its currently setup in a rear facing position tilted back fully in the middle of the backseat. I can still lean my seat pretty far back without having to adjust the Recaro, about 45 degrees. My son is 1 year old and weighs 21 lbs. He's slim making it perfect for this. My wife usually sits behind there with him and has no problem with space.

It's very easy to adjust the headrest with the knob in the backside, If you have multiple child riding different times. I've used it forward facing with my niece (in a Honda Accord and she's a 3 yrs old, 30 lbs).

So if you think space, ability to tilt back your driver seat, solid build, and ability to grow with your child is a priority to you, then definitely check this out.
5.00 rating Amazing Car seat!!!! By
September 24, 2010
This is a wonderful car seat. Its not bulky and heavy like others. The fact that you can adjust the straps while your child is sitting in it is the best thing next to safety. I feel my child is very safe and she loves it. We got it for our second car too. It was so easy to install that I ended up over thinking it because I just didn't think it could be so easy. I love this seat and recommend it to everyone. The Britax gets good reviews but since this one isn't sold in stores, it gets overlooked. A great seat all around!
