Just about perfect
 
Review Date: January 21, 2009
Reviewer: Eli, Athens, GA USA
We bought two of these boosters for our 7 and 9 year olds. They love them and so do we. They fit the kids perfectly, they fit the car perfectly. They are very solidly built and seem like they should be twice as safe in a crash as your average car seat. The size adjusment is simple and wide ranging. The material on these is really nice. It seems nicer than the vivo lite so I'd suggest spending the few dollars more for the vivo.

I can only think of a couple reasons why these wouldn't be the best choice for anyone else. One is they are kind of heavy. So if you have to lug the booster around frequently for some reason you will get a workout. Two is the fact that they are quite the sporting design. Like I said they fit my kids great, but my kids are both skinny. If your kids are on the plump side they might find this booster a bit claustrophobic.
Awesome carseat! We own 4 of them!

We needed new carseats once the children outgrew the "convertible" carseats which don't last nearly as long as they ought. We tried the twins in every booster we could lay our hands on. They hated them all. I was very impressed with the Recaro safety features but couldn't get my husband to agree to the price sight unseen. I finally found a Recaro booster in a local baby specialty store and was even more impressed in person. Better yet, both children loved it. At 3 years old, they were so happy with the comfort and I was so happy with the convenience and safety. I immediately ordered two online. After one week, both children refused to ride in my husband's car anymore because he had the "baby" seats installed and they wanted their "big kid" seats. After two weeks, my husband asked me to order two more. The twins are now 6 and STILL love their carseats and so do we. They are washable, lightweight, easy to move to other cars, easy to sleep in, comfortable and SAFE! Buy a Recaro; you won't regret it!
I LOVE this carseat

I was searching for the perfect booster seat for my 3 1/2 year old son when I came across the Recaro Vivo Booster Seat. I looked at their website and all of the safety features and compared it to other top of the line seats like Britax. My son was transistioning from the Britax Marathon so safety is very important to me. When I saw all of the safety features I decided to go with the Recaro Vivo over the Britax Parkway or the Monarch. I liked the deep head and body wings that cradeled my son and the side impact protection that they offered. Even though I have a car with side impact airbags in the front and rear, you can never be too safe when it comes to your child. The seat is very stable and fits perfectly in any seat in the rear of the vehicle. The seat offers three reclining posistions so that you can get the most accurate fit in your car. It also is adjustable and fits children through the age of ten. The bottom also detaches for when the child outgrows the back support and they can be in the base for even longer. I am extremely happy with this purchase and my son loves his big boy car seat.
Great carseat

I chose this carseat based on safety information I could find. It is also very well made. My 4.5 year old really likes it. When I asked him if it was comfortable, he told me, "Oh yes, it is a little magnificent!" So there you have it. We are all very happy with this purchase.
The best in its price range

We bought this seat after the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety rated this booster a "best bet". And boy are we glad we did. The seat is very well built and sturdy in comparison to others in its price range. It's easy to assemble and move around from car to car. The way it guides the belt is ideal, something that other seats miss. It also has head protection that many other seats seem to overlook. We like this booster so much, I just ordered a second one for our 3 year old (who is a big boy). We are confident that this seat will fit our kids through our state's requirements!
Great booster seat

Great booster seat it is well built and offers a lot of protection to your child. My son loves it he calls it his racing seat. Other parents who have seen it always mention how well built this car seat is compared to theirs.
Great product

Reviewer: Regina R. Mcquiller,
I am a grandmother now and wanted a carseat for my 4 year old granddaughter that would be comfortable if she fell asleep in it. I had purchased two carseat prior to this one. When she would fall asleep in them her body would be slumped over. I love this carseat! It is very cushie, it can recline and if your child falls asleep the side headrest keeps them from falling over. I've had four children and been through many of carseats this is one of the best. Price isn't bad either.
A great car seat for the price

Easy to assembly, Solid build quality for the price.

Took roughly 2 mins to put it together, and it did not require any tools.

The slide rails for the adjustable back height are actually made out of aluminum giving it a nice solid feel inlike others in the same price range that we looked at. The cloth is nicely padded and soft.

All in all if I needed another car seat I would just get this one again, like my title says great seat for the price.
Safe, Stylish

Hey guys, I've got Recaro seats in my Shelby! Joking aside, these seats are extremely well made and have much better head protection than any seat I've seen. Plus they look right at home in the back of my GT500.

great seat

seat guides belt perfectly through so it fits exactly as it should. the headwings give excellent neck support for when little ones drift off. seat is substantial and safe
