New Recaros...

I never thought my first set of Recaros would be for my daughter.

One for the TL and one for the wife's Pilot.


They look good though, very well made. One of the safest out there too.

Absolutely! If we were only getting one I'm not sure the wife would've been down with one that wasn't girly, but since she was also getting one for her car it was my choice. Though the Recaros in general were my decision.

Haha, I wish!

@ $260 each normally, but I got them for 25% off. Babies R Us had a 1 day sale on them earlier this week. They transition from a harness to booster so these are the last ones we'll need.

ucf_bronco, could you take a pic of the seat installed in your TL. I'm looking into the Recaros for my son when he hits that milestone. They look bulky, so I'm hoping they don't take up too much more room than the rear facing seats we have.

Glad to hear that. My daughter is still a bit young for it but I couldn't pass up the deal.

Nice! Which model did you go with? Mine are the performance sports. They're only forward facing, then transition to a booster.

25% off is a great price. I'm currently sporting Graco boosters. No Recaro sale when I bought mine

I've got twins, so my backseat has two Recaro Euro seats. I'll post pictures up soon. They're extremely easy to get the kids in and out of. My wife's JX has Britax seats that have huge steel reinforced sidebars on the sides that make loading the kids in and out harder because they jut out so much at the head.

I agree. I would've held off a bit longer if it wasn't for the sale. It worked out nice becuase I spent a couple hours doing research and found that I really liked the Recaros. I stumbled onto their facebook page and that's where I saw the one day sale at Babies R Us. Talk about luck!

I'm a little worried about that actually. I think mine are going to be a bit tough to get my daughter in and out of because of the raised sides. That's the price you pay though to have better side impact ratings compared to some of the other brands.
