I may not officially be a new mom, but after 7 years, so many things have changed. But one thing that hasn’t changed is the importance of having the proper car seat for your child. But with so many different car seats on the market, how do you know which one to choose. Recaro Sent me one of their car seats to put to the new mom test.
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)
I received the Recar Performance Ride Convertible Car Seat for Peanut. With the weight rating, we can take Peanut home from the hospital in it – and she can be in it all the way up until she’s 65lbs! And as you can see above, even at 4 months old, my nephew fits in it perfectly! 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. 
You can purchase the Recaro Performance Ride Convertible Car Seat for $269.99 at various retailers such as Buy Buy Baby, Babies R Us, Amazon

I have heard nothing but AMAZING things about Recaro seats. Now they just need to get themselves approved in Canada!
What a nice car seat! I wish I had had one like this when my kids were small.
We’ve had 4 Recaro ProRide seats, and I love Recaro. They are easy to adjust, and softer than traditional high back boosters. I also feel like they’re way more sturdy. I love that the Performance Ride has a no rethread harness, because that can be a total pain to unthread and rethread the harness.
That is a great looking car seat. Beautiful baby too!
I would love to win this in Rose!!!
It’s amazing how far car seat technology has come! Safety is so important!
I love seats that you can extend rear face in and keep them in longer. I’ve never heard of this brand before though.
