Safety Stripe System
The RECARO Safety Stripe System is a racing-inspired white stripe that is clearly visible on the outside edge of the five-point harness. This stripe is designed as an easy alert to parents that a twist could occur, or has begun, thus preventing a safety hazard.
Built-In LATCH System for Added Stability
Designed with a push-button LATCH system, the car seat is easy to secure to your vehicle. The car seat offers a universal top tether system as an added anchor. The rear-facing recline lever allows you to adjust the seat to best fit your vehicle's backseat.
Comfortable, Ergonomic Seat Molds to Your Child's Shape
Featuring an ergonomic shell structure that offers support for your child, the car seat is pleasant and cozy for short errands or long road trips. The harness system features soft pads to make it more comfortable. The head restraint is designed with protective and comfortable automotive PUR foam.

927 of 944 people found the following review helpful  Love this carseat with just a few caveats, November 9, 2010 This review is from: RECARO ProRIDE Convertible Car Seat, Blue Opal (Baby Product) I went back and forth between this seat and the Britax boulevard 70. There were things I liked about both and disliked about both. This is how I feel about the recaro after owning it for a while... I love that this seat sits up high. My son almost instantly stopped crying in his car seat now that he can see out. As a trauma nurse, I like the head rests much better than the Britax. They are closer to the side of my sons head which prevents the side to side whip lash of the neck that can cause injuries. I also like the amount of cushion in the side impact, enough to stop the momentum, not too soft or too hard. It was also extremely easy to fit in the car. And it is very easy to adjust the harness and head rest without taking anything apart. I also use the pockets for the straps quite a bit more than I thought I would, they are super helpful when trying to position a struggling child. I don't love that the lowest buckle always slides back to his butt when trying to strap... Read more Help other customers find the most helpful reviews Was this review helpful to you?  
573 of 593 people found the following review helpful Great seat, May 12, 2011 This review is from: RECARO ProRIDE Convertible Car Seat, Blue Opal (Baby Product) I recently bought this for my nine month old baby after reading hundreds of reviews. I was debating between this seat, the Radian XTSL, and a Britax Boulevard 70. After much consideration, I chose the ProRIDE and have been very satisfied with my purchase. The construction of this seat is solid, which you would expect from a manufacturer of the most premiere racing seats in the world. There is nothing flimsy about this seat. The head wings are soft enough to be comfortable when my baby is napping, but firm enough to provide protection in the event of a crash. Those head wings are one reason I chose this seat - the Radian is the only other seat with comparable head wings, and as someone who works in a trauma hospital, this feature was important to me. The fabric is well-constructed and well-stitched. The ventilation system does help quite a bit, which was necessary for us as we live in central Texas and summers here are HOT. Do know that the different colors... Read more Help other customers find the most helpful reviews Was this review helpful to you?
310 of 342 people found the following review helpful  GREAT Front-Facing Seat, Not So Much on the Rear Facing, January 15, 2012 Let me say first that we love this car seat and would recommend and purchase it again in future, BUT it is not my favorite choice for rear-facing seat. I intially intended to keep our kiddo rear-facing until she was 2 years old and liked that this seat got such great reviews and had high safety standards. Our baby outgrew her Safety 1st baby seat (which we also loved) and needed a new seat around 13 months. After receiving the Recaro (shipping was fast, price was comparable to anywhere else sold or cheaper) we tried it rear-facing and it was HUGE! We drive a Nissan Sentra and a Nissan Xterra and while it could fit in both cars, the back is much too tall to use your rearview mirror with; it totally blocks the view (in the middle seat). When placed on the outer seats you have to pull the driver or passenger seat quite far forward (in the Nissan Sentra), not very comfortable for two taller people (5'7 and 6'2). Our baby is also tall for her age and ended up with her knees bent... Read more Help other customers find the most helpful reviews Was this review helpful to you? |
