Recaro Signo Vs BritaxMay 11, 2008
By Christina LaPlant
I did a lot of research and narrowed it down between Recaro and Britax. I choose the Recaro. It's a little bit less expensive, I liked the style better... and it does go up just a few pounds and inches more (5-70lbs w/ up to 35 RF vs Britax 33 RF and an Absolute Maximum height of 60 inches (rec. is 50) vs Britax 49). It was a toss up though until I read all the reviews. A lot of people shy away from the Recaro just because it hasn't been around as long in the U.S. and everyone has Britax, but they meet the same standards and pass the same tests. Recaro ranks right there with Britax in other countries... not to mention Recaro makes racing seats so if they are good enough for NASCAR they are good enough for me. I've had this seat for about two months now and my son loves it. I've had minimal problems with the straps and the fabric hasn't caused any issues in the South Texas heat. I did try both out in my vehicle and put my son in both BEFORE buying... Both are big seats, but it has fit fine in all the cars I've had it in so far from a Pathfinder to a little kia rental. Do your research!!! All seats fit different for every car and every child, if you have read all the reviews and have not matched it with your car and child you have wasted your time. I highly recommend this seat.

Happy Kid= Happy CustomerMay 18, 2008
By M. Trujillo
We are happy with the purchase of this seat. I am a stickler for safety and it was hard choice to go with this seat since it is so hard to find in the brick and mortar stores near us. However taking the leap was great and couldn't be happier.
After careful review of many seats (including the britax, we felt this was a streamlined seat compared to it) over the course of a month as my son was growing to the brink of outgrowing his smaller seat, we wanted to keep him rear facing as long as possible for safety.
I loved this seat from the day it arrived, it is a nice seat, airport approved, the adjustability, comfort, padding and safety features in a relatively compact package. Compared to a lot of the seats on the market, it has the best mix of comfort, safety and ease of use of all the seats we tried.
It was easy to install, both with LATCH or without. I haven't tried it forward facing, but I don't see it being any different, only adding the anchor. The straps are comfortable for my son and we love to drive and know he is doing good from the silence we hear. It is a lot bigger than a standard rear facing seat, but was among the smallest of the safer seats (smaller footprint, but nice and big for the kid) we tested and is not too difficult to get our son in and out. the straps are incredibly easy to adjust when needed and the shoulder pads help line up the straps to put them on and then just pull and you are done! We also live in AZ and it gets really hot here, and I was worried with all the padding it would be too much, but we crank the AC on and there are vents in the back of the seat that are great. He comes out of the seat less sweaty than in his other Chicco infant seat.
Overall a great purchase and you will be satisfied and happy making the leap to this seat.

 Lets take a trip to the moon!!!May 07, 2008
By Tina

This seat is amazing. I was a little uneasy about ordering it as I had not looked at it in person, only online. But going on the reputation of their race car seats, I decided to give it a shot. I am very impressed with the quality and safety features of this seat. Installing was not to difficult. Though an adjustable base would be an added benefit. The belts do tend to twist as stated in the other reviews I read, but this is minor compared to the twisting that happened with the seat I had for my son almost 10 years ago. (The seats sure have come a long way!!) The unsupported side cushions also need adjusting after the baby is in the seat. She does seam to be very comfortable in this seat and sleeps well in it. There is a lot of head support, which I find very important. This seat is well made and definitly worth every penny. We call it her moon seat because it looks as though it would survive a trip on the space shuttle. I would give it 5 stars except for the twisting of the belts and readjustment of the cushion. I truly feel my daughter is very well protected in this seat and altemently that is what it is all about.

2nd child = 2nd RecaroOct 22, 2008
By Colin A. Kenton
"handy dandy"
Having owned Recaro race seats for my cars, I was a bit biased. For our first child, we first purchased a Britax Marathon for my wife's car (2 years ago), a great child safety seat but has big footprint for a convertible car seat.
When it came time to purchase a forward facing seat for my Toyota, I selected the Recaro Young Sport and love it almost as much as my son does. This put Recaro Child Seats on the radar in our house.
With the arrival of our second son, we went back into the pool of available convertible car seats. We narrowed our choices down to the new Britax Diplomat and the relatively new Recaro Signo. We could not find the Britax (Aug. '08) to try out, but did find the Recaro Signo. We got the Signo for less than the Diplomat, and I think we got the better of the two. It's a perfect fit for our 5 month old, and can still accommodate my 2.5 year old (if needed). Properly installed, there is still plenty of legroom for an adult in front.
I personally like the build quality and the stability of the seat. We are so happy with our choice, that we are about to purchase another Signo for my car.

I feel so confident about my daughter's safety in this seat!Oct 01, 2008
By Dom
We shopped around for a car seat for our 8 month old daughter and ended up narrowing it down to the Maxi-Cosi Priori and the Recaro Signo. We actually ended up buying the Maxi-Cosi but when my wife brought it home I didn't fell comfortable with the safety features. The Maxi-Cosi has very stiff foam to protect the child's head from side impact and I felt the foam was so stiff it would do more harm than good. We returned that seat and decided to purchase the Recaro Signo.
The Recaro Signo came in the mail and when I opened the box it looked like a chair fit for an astronaut. The chair is so plush I wish it came in adult size. It has thick, luxurious padding all around and excellent side impact protection.
As far as our daughter is concerned, she can't get enough of it. She gets the best naps in this seat and falls asleep almost instantly upon being buckled in for a ride.
Another plus is the buckle. The buckle takes a firm amount of pressure to release the straps. While some might find this bothersome I think it is a great safety feature because I can rest assured knowing she won't be able to release the straps on her own.
Ok, here are the negatives. This chair is big, I mean, really big. Not so much wide, but tall. We drive a 2008 Chevy Tahoe so it's not a small car but I (6'0" tall) can just barely see over the top of the seat if I'm looking over my shoulder to change lanes or reverse. We have found that we really have to rely on our side view mirror because looking beyond the car seat is nearly impossible. We keep the car seat in the center. If you were to put the seat directly behind the driver this wouldn't be a problem but I feel my daughter is safer in the center.
The second negative is the warmth of the chair. Its summertime now and we live in Southern California so it can get hot and with all of the plush padding in this seat it looks like it can be a bit warm. Fortunately cars have air conditioning so this is only a problem for the first couple of minutes of a drive.
Over all I wouldn't trade this car seat for anything and I've noticed all of our friends and family have been impressed with it. I think you will be too and if you're looking for a good price shop around on line and I think you can find a good deal like we did.
