RECARO Car Seat Review And Giveaway

When looking for new products, I look for items that will keep my child safe. Safety is top priority to any mom, but sometimes we aren't aware of all the options. I used the car seat that I got for my baby shower and never paid much attention to other brands.

I have recently had the opportunity to learn about everything that RECARO has to offer. RECARO has over 100 years of company history and experience in vehicle seat construction. They have learned how to provide both safety and comfort for the whole family. In 2005, they dove into the market of Child restraints in the United States.

The attention that they paid to safety is fantastic. The RECARO child Safety Seats were inspired by Racing seats. Each seat is designed to provide maximum safety in the event of an accident. The RECARO Side Impact Protection makes me feel like my son is as safe as possible.

RECARO sent us their Signo Convertible Car Seat in midnight desert for my son. You can view the whole demo if you click, here.

The Recaro Signo arrived in this box. We immediately took it out and read all of the instructions. We had the complete concept in just a few minutes.

Evan was so excited about his new car seat. He wanted to sit in it as soon as we took it out of the box and we let him so that we could adjust the straps and headrest. I was amazed that you can adjust the headrest to protect your child's head-there are infinite adjustments with the Signo headrest. Not only is it safer, but it helps when they fall asleep in the car. With his old car seat, I would always look back and see his head slumped forward. He has fallen asleep several times since we've had the Signo and his head always stays put.

He also enjoys it because he sits up higher in this seat. It has an amazing amount of padding and I wish they had seats in my size. There is even fabric where you snap the buckles in. In the summer time. That part is HOT and the fabric protects his little legs.

I could go on and on about the amazing features of the Signo. The cover is microfiber and can be hand washed. We all know how gross children can make these seats. I am looking forward to using the recline feature with my daughter. I never knew that convertible car seats could recline when facing backwards. Since it holds children 5-70 pounds, this is the only car seat you'd have to buy!

We have had the pleasure of using the RECARO Signo for about two months and I love everything about it. The only thing that I would add is a cup holder. Evan keeps trying to put his sippy cup somewhere because his old car seat had a cup holder. As far as structure and comfort goes, we all give the RECARO Signo two thumbs up!

RECARO carries many other seats including the Vivo and Vivo Lite.

The Vivo and Vivo lite are both adorable and extremely safe for your growing child. There is comfortable padding and an adjustable backrest. They each have a carrying handle so that they can be easily transported between vehicles. The only difference between the Vivo and the Vivo lite is the cover material. The Vivo comes with a microfiber cover or microfiber with soft mesh inserts and the Vivo lite comes in a breathable fabric/mesh inserts combination.
