Recaro Vivo High Back Booster Car Seat

Recaro Vivo High Back Booster Car Seat, Midnight Desert MicofiberI 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.

Recaro ProBooster High Back Booster Car Seat

Recaro ProRIDE Convertible Car Seat, Blue OpalI purchased this booster in Dec 2010 and here is what I have found. For everyone who may complain about having to hand wash the cover. It seems that all of the high end QUALITY car seats out there are now hand wash. I actually put mine in my front loading washer on hand wash and then hung it to dry and it came out wonderfully and just as soft as it was before. The black velour is beautiful and super plush. We lived in GA and I had been worried about the black during the summertime, but that hasn't been an issue at all. One thing I can mention is that when you go to take off and reapply the cover, make sure you have a small philips head screwdriver handy. The cover is attached to the frame by little itty bitty bands attached to itty bitty hooks that are impossible to apply with your fingers. Getting the cover back on the base where the red seat belt guides is a pain though and I am not looking forward to doing that again. Overall, a beautiful and well made seat that I am confident will protect my son and I would definitely recommend.
