The German-based, international company RECARO has been in the auto industry for more than one hundred years. It started with the manufacturing of car bodies for brands such as BMW, Porsche and Beetle. The company also released the first integrated seat and seatbelt as well as producing the first car shell for racing that included head protection. In the US they also manufactured child restraints.
RECARO now specialises in adult and child or infant car seats. They are leaders in setting standards for luxury, comfort and safety and make unbeatable design for infants and children. Of course they also meet and exceed regulations set by the NHTSA. The car seats include the security afforded by the RECARO Side Impact Protection, and they are tested against the regulations set out by Europe’s ECE organisation which have tough side-impact testing.
Recaro Baby seats have safety design inclusions such as EPS (expanded polystyrene) foam in the side wings and head area of the seat. They also have frames constructed from reinforced aluminium and the ability to customise the seat so it is ergonomic for infants as they grow and need the seat adjusted.
When the convertible car seats by Recaro are manufactured, they have the comfort of the infant in mind as well as keeping the seat versatile and safe. The designers have thought about the best way to adjust the child seat for the changes in height and weight and the ability to have it rear facing and then forward facing when the size of the child requires that.
Two types of Recaro seats are the Recaro Como and the deluxe RECARO Signo. The car seats are made with Side Impact Protection and buying these types of convertible seats reduces your investment into car seats as your child grows as they “grow with your child”.
The next type up are the Recaro Toddler car seats are for older children. Once the child has reached the required height and weight they may be safely secured in the same child seat by using your cars safety belts. The Recaro toddler car seats have an international reputation for excellence which is due to their high-tech adjustment functions, luxurious fabrics and design, and unparalleled safety features like the side impact protection.
