This week is Child Passenger Safety Week, and RECARO has agreed to help me Spread the word of Child Safety! They sent me the Performance RIDE car seat for Peanut.
A little about Recaro: RECARO has over 100 years of history designing seats for the world’s most prestigious automobiles, airlines, and race cars. RECARO is German engineered, and an international leader in seating safety, design, comfort and style. RECARO is the pioneer of child seat side impact technology, going beyond any side impact requirements as tested with the ADAC European standard. For your peace of mind – every seat is built with RECARO’s superior side impact protection technology. (Recaro)
If you are looking for a Long Living Car seat this is the one for you. It was created to hold children 5 lbs all the way to 65 lbs! In Michigan we’re required to have our littles Rear Facing all the way to 2 years of age. This particular model car seat will sit rear faced all the way up until 40lbs – For any of you who would like to Extend Rear facing your child.
Have you ever pinched your little ones legs in the Buckle? That was always one of my worries as a new mom. But RECARO has you covered. They created the buckle on top of a section of material To help prevent pinching the legs – and to add just a little padding between the buckle and your little one.
And do you see the white stripes going down the sides of the harness? With one glance now you can make sure that the Harness straps are not twisted in any way. A bonus in this Mamas Book. 
One of my favorite features of this car seat is the Easy Adjusting 5-Point Harness. If you look at the back of the car seat you can see that there is no re-threading necessary to adjust the position of the harness. When you use the side knobs to adjust the Headrest, it also adjusts the Harness. Anything that makes life a hair easier is Loved by this Mama!
Some of the other features that I really enjoy about this Car seat is the fact that there is a SECURE location to thread the Cars Seat belt through. This is for when you use your car seat as Front Facing. Also, if you are ever in need of the Owners Manual, you can look at the back of the car seat on the base – and you will see where it is snugly tucked in. I remember with Lil C’s car seat. We needed to refer to the owners Manual a year after installing it in our car, and we couldn’t find it anywhere.

I like the racing-inspired Side Impact Protection. I’m always nervous about side impact accidents when driving our van so the Recaro would give me a little more peace of mind.
That’s a pretty one!
This is cool. Is it bulky?

We have the older model ProRide that only rear faces to 35 lbs, would love to get a new one for new baby!
love recaro
I love this car seat!!!
I have the pro ride for my older daughter and love it.I feel like she is so safe in it. Would love one for my new baby.
I love how easy it is to adjust the shoulder strap height adding this factor to the amazing protection just makes this an easy choice for us. 🙂
I love that it is inspired by racing technology which is so in tune to the details of crash safety.
We got a Recaro car seat for my eldest daughter and she is still using it. Im having a baby in November and would like to have another Recaro car seat.
I like the stripe on the straps
I love the brand because they’re the safest car seats out there, especially since it’s the same brand that is used in race or drift cars and the people come out safe. I heard about someone getting into an accident and had their chils in one and he wasn’t hurt because he was in a recaro car seat.
I like the deep side impact protection
Baby is still in her bucket seat but would be nice to have a big girl seat for when she is bigger! Good luck everyone!
They’ve been around for a while and have a lot of experience with safety!
We love Recaro and had such a great experience with the first performance pro we got another one for our 2nd daughter and couldn’t be happier 🙂 Safety and comfort are my main concern and Recaro delivers
I love the side impact protection!!
I love the side impact protection!!
Recaro is my favorite car seat brand!
This is really awesome!
I love breathable seats and that you can keep the baby in rear facing for a long time.
Love Recaro Carseats! We got a new baby on the way and could really use this carseat. These seats are really reliable, coming from a racing background. I like that it can hold up to 65lbs, which means it will grow with your baby. Side Impact Protection, the 5 point harness is all great stuff.
I just learned how the Recaro has the highest safety ratings and features of most carseats in the market. Would be so grateful for one.
I love the little padding between the buckle and the baby because I always worry about pinching her legs. The white stripe on the harness to keep it from tangling, genius! And I love that they go beyond with the required side impact testing. What peace of mind for a Momma!
