Question Recaro Seats?

HIJrunningmom · Jun 30, 2012

Can I see some action shots? I have 3 girls, ages 2,5, and 7. So your kiddos being close to these ages is a plus for me. The two year old is still rfing.

Also pros and cons of the seats?

Any seat in particular?

I am a huge fan/lover of the Signo/G2/ProRide. Owned a signo with DS2 and fell in love. Now own a ProRide for DD.

Pros - Nice deep sides, no thread harness, 18.5-19" top slots, SIP "pillows", easy installation both RF and FF

Cons - Not a lot of RF legroom (comparable to the older Britax seats), sits up on a high base

My kids never complained of legroom, but they didn't know any better. That's just how they sat in the seat they sat in. The base has never bothered me either. I do keep DD on the side in my Impala because it would block my view if I put her in the center.

An older pic of DS2 FF in his signo.

And a fairly recent one of DD in her proride

And one of the highest position when I measured before

Not one in particular, since have three very different ages all models fit this topic.

5 year old is still harnessed. I was thinking prosport.

2 year old rfing. I was thinking proride.

And I'm not sure with their boosters. 7 year old is high back and backless( it depends on which vehicle we are in)

Also we're "upgrading" my 2002 Tahoe to a 2008-2010 model, so of anyone has these carseats and a Tahoe pics would be greatly appreciated!

This is the only picture I have on my phone. Colton is a Shorty at 20 months. I think this seat was made for him. His leggy twin brother has virtually no leg room rear facing.

I love

it for colton though! It's a nice padded comfy seat, fits in small spaces and puzzles well with Jackson's Radian.

Proride right?

Yes. Sorry about that.

I don't think I have any pics for you, but I adore my recaro. it is a signo. have been using it for the last 3 yrs, first for RF DD, changed her over at about age 2.5 into a BLDV/radian. she didn't have that much more leg room in the BLVD, but the sides being lower made it easier to load her.

then used it for my 4.5 yo to FF, and he is still in it at 6! He loves his seat, it is sooooo soft, and super comfy. I love how safe he looks in it. he sleeps in it often on road trips, never have seen his head slump.

BTW DS just had his check up, he is 70% for height for his age, and 30% for weight.

HTH

Also do you have them all on the same row?

I will see what I have and if you want something different I can try tomorrow. I have captains chairs so I don't do three across set ups.
