Recaro Signo G2 Convertible Child Safety Car Seat, Graphite

After doing a lot of research on different car seats, I chose to get the Recaro Signo G2 for our five month old. Due to our work schedules, we need two car seats for my husband's and my cars. I chose to get the Recaro first because of the additional safety features, and I wanted to see if it fit in both cars. I knew it would fit into my husband's four door 2009 Chevy Silverado truck, and it did. It is a wonderful car seat for his truck, and we can actually fit two adults sitting on either side with a center rear-facing installation. I love everything about it.

Unfortunately, we did not have as much luck fitting it into my 2007 four door Honda Civic. While it fit perfectly into my car, it turned out to be too tall with a proper center rear-facing installation. For one, it was easy to bump the baby's head on the ceiling of the car. More importantly, it partially obstructed my view in my rear view mirror. (I am 5'7" and my husband is 6'2", and both of us had the...Read more

I have made three outstanding purchases for my baby and this is one of them! The first and only car seat I had purchased for my baby was the Peg Perego car seat which we loved!!! It rated high in safety and was easy to use and very durable! I found myself disappointed that they did not make convertible seats and I was unsure of whether the next seat we would like as much as the Perego. But this is a GREAT carseat! My son loves it. He used to cry when we would first put him in his car seats, this one he has not fussed once in! It sits fairly high so if you have a very compact car, you may want to review the measurements. I have an Accord and it fits, but snuggly. It is plush, soft, classy looking. It is very sturdy and nothing about this seat is cheap. I have it rear facing at the moment, but in a month or two it will be turned forward facing. The seats are very soft and comfortable for the baby. I wish my car's seats were this comfortable. There is not one regret yet...Read more

What first struck me about the Recaro Singo G2 was its overall level of quality compared to brands like Britax and Sunshine kids, which for the most part are often represented at higher price points. Because the Recaro Singo G2 is of higher build and is at or below the price level of its competitors, it naturally is the best value. Honestly, the seat is so much better than the Britax and Sunshine Kids offerings that I still would have bought it if it was more expensive. For a seat that you can find on Amazon for $230 give or take, it should not even require much thought. The Singo looks and feels like a $500 seat in comparison to its competition.

Features such as the knob controlled adjustment for the headrest and harness, the latch system, and the actual harness are all very well thought out. The horizontal connection on the harness isn't this big obtrusive piece that covers the entire surface area of a child's chest and its easy to unlatch. The angle of the harness...Read more
