Love!
March 24, 2017
I love how my daighter can fall asleep in this booster and her head doesn't plop forward. Well designed I feel as if she is just as safe in this as she is in a harnessed car seat.

Safety & comfort
March 5, 2016
My 5yr old loves being in a booster, big girl seat, like her older sister. Comfortable ride with lots of cushioning and more safety and padding than a backless booster all rolled into the safety and performance you can trust with Recaro!

More comfortable than Britax
September 9, 2015
Our daughter likes this booster seat a lot more than her Britax booster seat. On long car rides, with theBritax, our daughter would have a red mark extending from her upper to lower back. Once we put in the Recaro, the problemhas gone away. Our daughter is 42" tall and 40 lbs.
Pros
  • Better padding for the back vs Britax.
Best Uses
  • Long car rides
Cons
  • The anchor straps that anchor the booster seat to the car are NOT adjustable. So, the booster seat does not hug the car seat. That's my only complaint.

Don't attempt this in a small car!
May 17, 2015
Booster is very large, fairly well padded ( I did expect a bit more, considering the price and other reviewer's comments). My grandaughter is tall for four and the traditional harness car seat was simply too small for her long legs (and her little brother has taken it over, anyway.) She tells me that she is very comfy and LOVES being up a little higher and able to see everything going on afround her. Had no difficulty installing in my RAV4, but even that decent size back seat is now taken up entirely by two car seats, so heaven help the parent who drives a little car!
Pros
  • I bought the Performance Booster based on its outstanding safety ratings and the reputation of the manufacturer. (*Another son-in-law, father of my third grandchild was doing his own research and came up with the same opinion.)
  • Solid, well made, very comfortable seat for four year old grandaughter. It should last well through her time and take on the two litle grandsons in their turn.
  • Easy installation in my RAV4.
Cons
  • Seat IS huge! Between this booster seat and the tradtional harness car sear for the youngest members of the clan, my "three passenger" back seat is effectively rendered useless to me for any adult passengers wihout removing both car seats.
  • Anchor straps for Performance Booster should be adjustable so that they can be tightened, preventing the seat from wobbling when not occupied and held in place by shoulder belt.

My little girl loves it. It is soft and comfortable. Mommy loves the safety of the seat and the fact that is fits my smallish 30 pound girl.

THE COOLEST CAR SEAT ON THE MARKET
September 10, 2014
Since Simpson left the market (the former coolest car seat) Recaro has to be the coolest design, and it also appears to be a quality design with some legitimate engineering uniqueness. Dual cup holders, adjustable neck height and the side impact pads and belt height adjust at the same time, plus a grown-up brand. It really doesn't look like a brand name slapped on a standard booster seat, it's a real Recaro item.
Pros
  • Quality design, quality build, quality appearance
Best Uses
  • Well, I'm not sure what else this could be used for other than a child booster seat.
Cons
  • The LATCH anchors shold be adjustable, as fixed length straps they really serve minimal purpose. They should be tightenable like most other such straps (like on the convertible Recaro seat, for instance). A classy beige/tan/caramel color would be nice.

SO FAR SO GOOD
August 13, 2014
The booster arrived one week ago and my 5 year old grandaughter was thrilled with the seats room, comfort, and color(Rose) . My very first concern was finding a SAFE booster as this will move from car to car. This booster has all the makings of a comfortable ride that appears very well made and stable. In my opinion , I feel a 5 point carseat is preferred, for safety. , however, the moms in this area (and my daughter) are "trending" to move very quickly to a booster seat. .If you have a choice, I would keep my child in the 5 point carseat as long as they are not objecting. Back to the RECARO.... The price is right --- . MADE IN THE USA!!! My only concern is some cars with rear bucket seats ( have a 2004 Expedition) do not work with the anchor belts? no place to lock them. My husband says he will remedy th is situation - my idea is to thread a strong rope through the rear of the seat and attach.securely with strong knot. The booster is easily moved but not totally lightweight. ( I picked a friends childs booster up with my finger and I am not a big woman by any means. I believe it is a sturdy seat with a comfortable ride and good head and side protection.

Sturdy Comfortable Booster Seat
July 17, 2014
I bought this seat for my friends daughter who just had her 5th birthday. She loves it! No more head bobbing when she falls asleep in the car. Great side impact support! My 13 yr old daughter went on a long road trip with my friends family and she said she loved sitting next to the booster seat because it was soft to lean her head on the outside of her seat while travelling.
Pros
  • Love the latch system and how easy it is to take in and out of the cars. This seat arrived fast and in perfect condition!

Great booster, great value.
May 10, 2014
Just bought this for my 5 yr old daughter and she loves it! Her older brother has the previous model "Recaro ProBOOSTER" (which they longer sell). In compared to the previous model, this one offers many improved features: 1) it has the Latch buckles to prevent unoccupied booster from flying off seat (not adjustable, just latches in).2) the base is bigger, wider and more stable. 3) 2 cupholders.4) the side protection 'wings' are bigger and more padded.Great booster at great price.

Nice quality seat
November 6, 2013
The seat was comfortable. My 3-year old commented that it was much more comfortable than his Graco. I bought it for my (average height, but rather slender) 3 1/2 year old, but will probably use only occasionally, because, although he meets the height and weight minimums, it still appears a little big on him. The seat appears more solid and better quality that many of the other brands I had seen.

I am thinking about buying this seat and I'm wondering if you HAVE to use LATCH to secure it to the car. I'll be putting my son in this in the third row of seats, and there is no LATCH connectors there.
