I've just gone through a week of learning more about car seat safety than anybody outside of a CPS. Who knew that buying a six year old VW would present such a huge problem (though I should mention my car is ORANGE and that makes up for a lot)
Now that I've narrowed it down to the ONE seat which will center mount in my car I have to decide between microfiber and cloth. I kinda didn't want to go Recaro again because their customer service people are slightly annoying. they told me if my Signo didn't fit the proSport wasn't going to either and didn't understand what I was talking about at all when I explained why it did (because the top tether comes from a lower position and therefore is further from the TA enabling me to get a tight fit with the strap pulled all the way down).
Here are the Amazon customer photos (I never trust the manufacturer ones). To me the Midnight looks like a plush black velvet while the sable looks a bit cheap. I would either get sable or blaze in the regular cloth or midnight in the microfiber. The Right Start had the grey and it was really ugly, IMO. I'm sure my daughter would like the pink but I just can't have brown seat in my all black leather interior!
The other thing to consider is that we live in Southern California so any seat is going to be hot. Her current seat (Recaro Signo) is grey and blue. I wish I could see the midnight in person but it appears to be nearly sold out everywhere.
