Recaro ProSPORT Harness to Booster Car Seat - Envy

Comments about ProSPORT Harness to Booster Car Seat - Blue Opal:

i love this seat! i can't imagine any other seat that exceeds the prosport. yes it is pricey, but it pays off. your getting two seats in one and the fact it goes up to 120lbs is amazing. the latch system makes installation effortless. i have a vw routan and the fit is perfect, if you try to move the seat the whole car moves! a++++ the materials are nice and light, plus theres plenty of support for your child so it will take awhile for them to start to get uncomfortable.

I've only had one minor problem. my son threw up in it and the seat says that its not machine washable. lol like I'm not putting in the wash its puke! well i did and the seam separated on the seat cushion. i called the company, told them my story, and they shipped me a whole new cover free of charge when i only asked for the seat pad. plus a manual, because i threw away the first one.

First things first, Recaro describes the Hanna color as rasberry. That's correct - somewhere between red and pink. It's classy looking. I am a 2nd time Recaro owner. We bought this seat for my 2.5 yr old, who is 38in and 40lbs. Big kid. We have had him in the Recaro Signo since 5mos, but need the Signo for our 5mos daughter now. I knew we would go with another Recaro because we have been SO happy with our Signo and the customer service we have received over the years with Recaro. While we may not keep our son in this carseat until the max harness weight, it's nice to have the option. It's also comforting to know that the side impact protection we laud in the Signo is here in the Prosport. Not only is this great for safety, but comfort. I hate seeing kids slumped sideways in their carseats sleeping and I have been so happy with this aspect of the Recaro's. Both of my children go right to sleep in their carseats without any fuss. So, in case you are like me, a previous Recaro owner, here are the differences in this seat vs the Signo. It's not as wide looking, but just as plush, more so actually, even once you remove the padding for harness mode. Comfort is still high on Recaro's priority list. They switched to foam for the side protection, which doesn't seem as comfy for the headrest as the Signo, but my son has no issues. The pro changes: handle for carrying this heavy beast, much easier to lengthen latch straps, easier to tighten harness. Con changes: the position of the harness release. Other reviewers have commented their children can release the harness themselves because you lift up on the release button as opposed to push down. I think that's a parenting problem, but I can see how it would happen. Another con: removal of the infinite release harness, which makes us sad that we will have to remove the seat to adjust the harness the next time he grows. However, the likelihood of an older child growing constantly has decreased, so this is probably ok. They also removed the recline adjust handle and replaced with a piece of plastic that flips up or down - kid is either reclined or not. That removes the several recline positions, but maybe that doesn't matter at this age/facing forward. And maybe that, with the infinite adjust harness, were just not possible with the booster mode. The only real con for me is the lower latch anchor - it's one piece as opposed to two separate belts. I cannot get it as tight as having two separate belts. It's still fine and latches tight enough, but I'd like a little more. Our truck has very visible latch anchors and the Prosport seat is shorter than the Signo, so maybe that combo isn't good for these straps. Overall however, the Prosport does not disappoint. We now have two Recaro's next to each other in the back of our truck without any problems. I love the safety and comfort of these seats and will continue to recommend Recaro to everyone.

We hesitated on this because of the price tag but I'm glad we took the plunge. We wanted a seat with great side impact safety because of our little subaru, which it fits into just fine. My husband said it was like night and day installing this one compared to our previous car seat. He says this one fits so much more securely that he can't believe we used the other one for so long. The tan/green color is nice, too. I didn't want any plushy suede fabric again - it seemed to make my son too hot. This one stays cool and the red accents are a nice touch too.
