Did you get the Recaro toddler car seat for your kid? This is what I have in my wife’s car right now. Probably need to get one for my G35 eventually. I would think I’d pick up tracking again once he’s older and I have more free time.[/quote]
Hijack…
No, they didn’t make this seat yet when I needed it. Recaro use to only make a front facing seat. I ended up getting a Britax Boulevard,with side impact protection.
Right now, the difference between the Recaro you indicated and the Britax would be a coin toss to me. The Boulevard has been around awhile. Recaro has a great reputation for building good seats. The thing I don’t like about the Boulevard is the lower buckle sits too far in and a big kid will have issues using it. Also my kid figured out how to loosen the strap, so I had to spend a week teaching her don’t do it or you might go into the windshield if I stop suddenly. Britax was Made in the USA, so that was a bonus.
The Boulevard barely fits in my car (the height is the issue). Anyway, my car is being torn down right now, so I’m tooling around a C320 with the car seat, so there’s more space for it.
I found the most useless thing was the Infant Car Seat. I used it a total of 2 times before she outgrew it. 1 time bringing her home from the hospital, 1 time going to her checkup. Lasted for about 6 months.
