ProBooster (pic heavy)

kaleigh71 · May 27, 2010

Finally got to check it out. I think, from what I have learned about boosters on here, that DS fits pretty well. Just for curiosity's sake I also put DD1 in it and snapped some pics.

I like the cover, the seat feels pretty solid, and my son likes it. I don't feel he is ready for full time use, but I plan to keep letting him have training time on shorter trips.

Input is always appreciated!

I did check, it is sitting low and not on the abdomen.

And here is 4y/o DD1, approx. 36lbs, 39.5". She is still in her WZ, booster is not going to be happening anytime soon.

Her right shoulder has a bit of a slope to it due to having torticollis as an infant, you can sort of see that here.

Thanks so much for those pictures.

We don't yet have the ProBooster in the Carseat Measurements/Data Spreadsheet. Do you think you might be able to gather some measurements from the seat and submit them to the spreadsheet? If you want to, here is the link to the master spreadsheet page:

the fit looks greast on the tiny kids...I'm wondering how biug the booster gets, and if ti would work for bigger booster kids? 8, 9 year olds? The armrests seem to flare out, but even so, your tiny little kids seem to be taking up most pof the actual seating area?
Also, can you actually us ethe armrests? They seem to be sort of high enough, but do to the flare out, too far away from the child to be comfy?

It looks like a great booster! I wish it was skinny, though.

I have one major request Please (TIA). A pic of the bottom. Need to compare to how the Vivo bottom and if you could measure the bottom.
Thanks

tanyaandallie · May 27, 2010

crunchierthanthou · May 27, 2010

Will get some measurements and a pic of the bottom tonight. I also love the DOM - 5/14/10. Talk about fresh from the factory!

wow! that is great. Where was it made? I remember the brand new Recaro convertibles being older than that because there was a delay coming over from China.

They do flare out, but it isn't as flared as the pics make it seem. I'm not sure about how it might fit for bigger kids. I can see where the sides get wider farther up, so maybe that helps accommodate growing shoulders. My kids seem to have just the right amount of extra room for growth, but not as much as DS had when I tried him in the Monterey.

tanyaandallie · May 27, 2010

Would you mind taking a pic with the headrest all the way up so we can get an idea of how tall it is? Thanks!!!!

firemomof3 · May 27, 2010

:yeahthat:
Ya, I'm wondering how tall it goes also. Great pics, thanks so much for posting them. The fit looks great, and I love the deep sides and support

KrisM · May 27, 2010

Is it easy enough for them to buckle themselves?

BABYGIRLLYNDSEY · May 27, 2010

Nice seat! Can't wait til we can get some measurements on this.

kaleigh71 · May 27, 2010

I knew there was something I was supposed to be doing earlier

. Tomorrow morning. I didn't let my son buckle himself, but I will see if he can tomorrow as well. There seemed to be a good amount of height to the headrest, but until I measure it I can't compare it to anything else.

As far as where it was made, I recall it saying something about being assembled in Michigan, I think. Again....tomorrow, lol.

The company is about 0.5 miles from where DH works. I wonder if they make them there. It'd be nice if they sold them around here!

ETA: In Michigan

I'm still so perplexed that Recaro didn't add this seat to their website until after it was pretty much on the market. The info on the website is really just pathetic!!! Surely a company of that size can get decent info on their website!!

fyrfightermomma · May 28, 2010

Any chance we could get a side view? Just want to see how much the wings surround the child.

kaleigh71 · May 28, 2010

My apologies for the glare on the measuring tape. When I measured the belt guide height I did not press down on the bottom of the seat, so take that for whatever it is worth. If there are any other measurements needed, let me know and I'll try to get them while the seat is in the house.

firemomof3 · May 28, 2010

GREAT pics, thanks! So, nice seat depth, tall top belt guides...oh how I love thee

I can't hold out much longer...
