Engineered for Safety with Side-Impact Protection
The RECARO ProSPORT offers an intelligent design that protects a child during a side-impact incident. The car seat's enhanced head wings shield the head and face while a head rest limits neck movement. For added safety, reinforcements at the sides, hips, and thighs help stabilize the torso and pelvis areas.
Adjustable Safety Harness and Head Rest
The five-point harness can be customized to properly fit your growing child. With its convenient lever lift, you can adjust the head rest into position to allow for proper alignment with the head.
Built-in LATCH System for Added Stability
Designed with a push-button LATCH system, the car seat is easy to secure to your vehicle. The car seat offers a universal top tether system as an added anchor.
Whether using the car seat in harness or booster mode, the color-coded belt guides help you secure it properly. A convenient recline system allows you to adjust the car seat to custom fit the backseat of your vehicle.

Customer Reviews
Just wanted to let everyone know that I spoke with Recaro today and beginning in July 2011, they started manufacturing this model with a longer harness and they will send a new replacement harness to anyone who purchased the previous model. Hope this helps those of you (like myself) who were struggling with short straps! It is really a great (albeit heavy) seat that had a major flaw, which seems to have now been corrected!
Let me start by saying that this is one of the nicest harness to booster seats out there. And I feel like I reviewed/tested them all. The seat has many great features as previous posters have indicated, my favorites being:
- Seat comfort/plushness: I have seen several of the harness to booster seats in person (and my almost 5 year old has "tested" them) and it has the most substantial padding. No surprise there, Recaro is known for their seats!
- Adjustable 5pt. harness without having to re-thread harness straps - there is a nifty mechanism on the back of the seat that allows you to adjust the harness straps and head restraint up and down to 4 different locations. Great for when child grows.
- Head and side impact protection - I loved the way the head and side "wings" fit around her body - looked to me like she would be super duper safe in the event of an accident from the side and also looked to protect the body better than some other seats (of course, no real crash test evidence here, just stating my opinion)
- Fit to Vehicle - a cinch to install, took me less than 5 minutes to get a good, tight fit with LATCH.
So why only 3 stars?
One of the reasons I was attracted to this seat was the harness option to 90 lbs and 57 inches tall. After having a long conversation with a car seat safety expert in my area who convinced me that children should be harnessed as long as possible for obvious safety reasons, I decided to switch her out of the booster I was already using and get her back into a harness that I could switch to booster mode when she is older. The ProSport seemed to fit the bill perfectly as it looks like a "big girl seat" to her and I would have the option to harness her for one or two more years (or more if she let me!)
So here's the major con - my daughter is pretty average for height and weight for an almost 5 year old at 40 lbs, 40 inches. With a winter coat on, the harness is incredibly snug and extremely difficult to close. I can't imagine someone even 10 lbs. heavier being able to fit in the harness with a jacket, let alone at 90 lbs. For comparison purposes, I checked the Britax Frontier 85 to see how much "slack" the harness had, and it had WAY more room to grow.
I really feel like the Recaro is a better seat, but since the harness is important to me, I might have to reconsider. I did play around with it to make sure I wasn't missing anything and also went back to the store where I purchased it and watched the salesperson try to adjust it. Unfortunately, it's the way it is. He also agreed it was difficult to close.
For those that have younger / smaller kids, I can certainly understand why people love the seat, and my gripe may not even be an issue for those that won't be harnessing their 5+ year old, 40 lb. children. I'm just extremely disappointed that Recaro claims the seat will accommodate a 90lb / 57 inch tall child when I think those numbers are way off. Fix the harness Recaro, and you have one incredible seat on your hands. Until then, I think I have to consider a harness to booster with more room.
