Recaro Vivo Lite Child Booster Car Seat - Carbon

The Recaro booster seat is the 3rd brand we purchase, and definately the best. We recommend this seat!

First we purchased a Eddie Bauer booster seat. This seat had a very thin and fragile design with hardly any side protection or padding.

Second, we purchased serveral Graco Turbo Booster seats. These seats are not bad, but are not as solid as the Recaro. We still use these seats in our second car.

Third, we purchased the Recaro. These seats are much more solid than anything else we have seen. It also has very good side protection. Because of this, it is important that the kid is tall enough for the seat (as with all booster seats). You can adjust height of the back.

We have also had problems with previous seats that the kids fall forward in the seat when they go to sleep. The angle of the Recaro seat's back can be adjusted, so the seat's back can tip back some. With this feature, the kids are more likely to sleep more comfortably...Read more

We have tried several booster seats and this is our favorite. It is much sturdier than the Britax Parkway and (according to my son) equally as comfortable. This is a great seat!!

When my husband got the carseat out of the box, he said it is an awesome booster for our son. We purchased a great evenflo carseat over a year ago (it was on sale) which was normally priced at around $75. Nice carseat, but this one is better.

My son is short and his head fits well in the headrest area (even a taller kid it would fit as the headrest is rather long and wider than the Britax). He can see around the wings on the headrest and loves his big boy carseat. He says he is comfortable in it and the armrests fit him well.
