RECARO Car Seats

With over 100 years of experience partnering with the German automotive industry, RECARO car seats take the lead in protecting your child on the road with the most modern designs. RECARO promises top crash results on all models, thanks to a three-way Isofix locking system and specialized Side Impact Protection (SIP) exclusive to RECARO. Each model features padded wings around the cranium, a durable headrest, a LATCH anchoring system and extra plush comfort padding. RECARO engineered Side Impact Protection in lieu of statistics finding that side impact collisions account for 25% of deaths or injuries to children in automobile accidents.

BabyEarth offers a full range of models of RECARO car seats to meet any family's specifications. The original RECARO Start paved the way for all front-facing seats in the industry with a headrest that is fixed and padded with polyurethane foam to absorb any shock and imbedded audio speakers for your child to listen to personal audio selections. The height of the backrest, the length of the seat, and the width of the shoulder area can all be adjusted for maximum ergonomic efficiency as your child grows. RECARO designed the seat of the Start with an anti-submarining ramp to prevent your child from slipping under the seat belt after sudden starts or stops of the vehicle. BabyEarth also offers an adjustable footrest to attach to the bottom of the Start booster seat for added support.

The RECARO Como is an all-new convertible front and rear facing car seat. It has an extra cushioned shell made with shock-absorbing material that envelops the child on both sides to protect even the smallest of infants from life-threatening accidents. Thanks to a five-point adjustable harness system, the RECARO Como Convertible can safely hold children from five pounds up to eighty pounds. The Como also features LATCH safety storage and a headrest that adjusts to five different positions. With an ergonomic shape and sturdy back covering, the RECARO Como fits in virtually every vehicle and is also approved for airplane use, weighing in at twenty-one pounds. The washable microfiber cover is designed with a special ventilation system and is offered in four colors.

The RECARO Signo is next in line for the convertible car seats, stepping up from the RECARO Como with a headrest that has double wall support and adjusts in an infinite number of positions. The Signo also has a latch bar that allows for easy adjustment between the front and rear facing positions. No belt assembly is required.

Hailed as a bestseller by BabyEarth.com, the RECARO Young Sport model is perfect for toddlers and older children who no longer require the rear-facing convertible. The Young Sport faces forward and holds children in the range of twenty to eighty pounds (up to twelve years in age) within wings on either side of the seat cushioned with EPS foam. The headrest is height adjustable and the five-point adjustable harness as well as the seat cushion may be removed when your child reaches forty pounds, converting the car seat into a booster seat. The Young Sport can recline back to a sleeping position and has a handle for easy carrying. It is slightly larger, weighing twenty-three pounds, and is offered in six different colors.

For families with growing children, the RECARO Vivo Lite booster seat is a great option, weighing only eleven pounds and suitable for children from thirty to one hundred pounds (the largest weight limit capacity of all RECARO models). It has a new one-hand adjustable headrest and an extra-high back that reclines into three different seating positions. The Vivo Lite is reinforced with aluminum and offers a system for ventilation using breathable inserts made of comfortable and washable mesh material. It is designed in two pieces for easy folding and storage and has armrests to make your child's journey more comfortable.

RECARO also offers another booster seat similar to the Vivo Lite. The Young Style has double padding and armrests to make it the perfect model for long trips. Suitable for children up to twelve years or eighty pounds, the Young Style is the lightest of the RECARO models, weighing only ten pounds with an easy carry handle and six headrest positions.

In 2008, expect to see a new release from RECARO by way of an infant shell dubbed the Picco. This lightweight car seat will feature the same ergonomic foam, padding, and carry handle, plus a function that allows your infant to rock. Each and every RECARO child restraint system has undergone rigorous testing to uphold both European and American crash test standards. For this reason, RECARO is named the Competence Center for Child Safety. Consult the chart below for model comparison specifications.
