Recaro Vivo High Back Booster, Carbon

This is a great seat for our son, that's why we ordered our second one. In addition this got the "Insurance Institutes Highway Safety(IIHS) booster seat review - - best bets(highest rating)([...]).

We bought these for our children, ages 5 and 7, who are both of average size. The seats are comfy, especially for long car rides. The one drawback is that because of how the seat belt is routed through the car seat, the tension makes it somewhat difficult for our 5-year-old to buckle on his own. But that will pass as our 7-year-old has no problem with it.

They were good enough that we swapped out her seats, and grandma's seats for these. So we replaced 4 car seats we already had, and now have 6 between all of us. Why? Because they're sturdy, and have the aluminum frame. The head rest is padded and seems like it'll cradle the head better (less whiplash). It doesn't slide into pieces when you pick it up. It's more of a pain to put the seat belt on securely, but that is because the points where the seat belt touch the seat bind the seat belt more tightly (lap points and shoulder loop).

Not that I'm a connoisseur of car seats, but I'd recommend this to anyone looking for a car seat.
