DD1 rides in a Recaro Proride. I got a MR on clearance at Target last week. The Resa one .
I can't decide whether I want to try to sell the Proride and have her ride in the MR or just keep the Proride and return the MR.
MR
Cons: Buckle is really far out. Last time I tried DD1 in it she slouched down toward it. Slots instead of no-rethread (I hate when the straps get WAY below but the shoulders aren't up to the next slot yet). The infant padding is stupid. With a different MR (the new one at Target) I could still use it with her and she would fit better.
Pros: Let's face it, it looked great in those side impact videos. I can't help my emotional reaction to that . LEG ROOM compared to the Proride. Not an issue now but will be. Cupholders. Narrow base good for when I have a Teen riding beside her in a seatbelt.
Proride
Cons: NO leg room. Yep I knew that when I bought it. Wide base.
Pros: Passes European side impact standards. I have no idea what those are but sounds good to me. Nice head bolster thingy good for sleeping. Easy install. It's purple. No re-thread harness.
I just can't decide. I should have never bought it.
