How does the Recaro Proride compare with Britax with respect to Britax's Integrated steel bars? Does this seat have something similar?

Just another design. There are steel bars in the back of the Recaro as well but they hide behind the plastic cover. Britax feel lighter if you take it in/out but that might make some of us feel as if Britax is "flimsy" If you hold onto the recaro you would know the different about how well it constructed, made and assembled even including the "clip" pockets on the side.(Britax has the velcro and it scratches your hand and irritating esp in the winter in MN) The Recaro steel bars dont bend and show like the Britax. Recaro has ALL 5 STARs. Britax has 4 b/c of the "instruction". Just another design. There are steel bars in the back of the Recaro as well but they hide behind the plastic cover.

recaro proride is better than britax. it's way stable and sturdier feeling than britax. i have no problem with recaro proride convertible. but if you want something that would be user later after your lil. one is more than 2 yo then go with britax frontier 85 because after 2 yo your lo will want a cup holder and snack slot. trust me on this part. i have 3 recaro proride, 1 recaro prosport, 2 britax boulevard, 1 britax marathon, and lastly britax frontier 85. i buy them as my lo grows.

Britax is a great brand as well. I'm not too sure about the integrated steel bars as I'm not an engineer for the product. We purchased it for the high level of safety and the fact it had breathable material so the child will not get hot. It was ranked in the top 5 for safest chairs to purchase on one of the baby sites.

Traded the uppa baby vista for the britax b ready with extra seat. Both recline and are much more comfortable than the rumble seat!

My Britax B-Safe fit in my friends Infiniti G-35 coupe. It was a day I just really did not feel like driving. If you are really tall and need to push your front seat all the way back that may pose a problem with fitting the seat properly, as well as people that recline their seats during a car ride. Other than those situations I see this car seat being able to fit in the back of a Mustang.

I have a honda fit (same size as a prius) and have had a heck of a time finding a seat to fit this, especially with 3 kids! I had the graco comfortsport, it didnt fit well either rear or forward facing, went with the graco myride 65, same issue and its HUGE! tried a cheap cosco from walmart and it fit fairly well forward and not too bad rear facing but it was so flimsy I didnt feel it was going to hold up in case of a crash. Alot of my friends have the britax marathon or advocate so I decided it was time to try one but our finances dont allow a new seat. I found a used (spare seat that was never actually used) for super cheap from a local mom so I bought that and it fits PERFECTLY in our fit. It was a bit hard to get to fit that way so I had to roll up a towel but he will be forward facing pretty soon so not that major of a problem too me, all our seats have to have rolls. I would recommend this seat in a heartbeat, Im not a fan of the colors of any of the britaxs but you can always find a cover on ebay to custom fit! I also love the velcro to hold the straps so Im not digging around under his butt for the straps. I have a 14 month old who is 25 pounds and 33" tall.

Mine says 6 years as well. If you're looking for a seat with a longer "life" I suggest checking out the Britax Frontier 90. I was a diehard Recaro fan until I could not get a decent installation in my new car with the seat belt. (Had only even used LATCH and my son was nearing the LATCH weight limit).

Ive tried Rosco and drive medical.......Rosco seat is more comfortable....Rosco fits in tight places better....the only fault i see with Rosco is the frame is shorter and may tip sideways more easly

D.J.,Would you mind sharing the link you mentioned? I wasn't able to find anything on the Britax website. Thanks!

I have a Recaro ProRide Convertible, and it does seem to work as long as the luggage is very full and the strap is very tight. If the luggage isn't full enough, the car seat will drag, so keep this in mind when trying it out at home -- I had to stuff my luggage with pillows to make it work in practice runs. I am using a 22" carry on, not sure if anything smaller will work with such a tall car seat.

I also bought the Uppa Baby tray and it fits. It's a much better tray than the Britax.

We have had this Recaro booster/car seat for going on 3 months now and our 2 year old still loves it. She is very comfortable her head while asleep rests over to the side into the padding instead of leaning forward. We have a britax in our other vehicle and whenever she falls asleep in that she slumps forward.We have this in our GMC Yukon for long car rides as she is the most comfortable in this. It doesn't recline, which I was worried about but you could always put a pad under it to adjust it as needed. We haven't needed to do that as she just loves this seat and has no problems falling asleep super comfy for long car rides!

No, the diono seat folds making it very slim. We also have a Recaro, and it definitely does not fit.

We are sorry but we do not know if it universally fits all car seats. I doubt the Orbit toddler seat would fit and do not know about a Recaro Proride.

I would also like to see someone address this. I have a 3 1/2 year old who is in the lower percentages for his age. He is 33 lbs and so it says (on the "fit my child" part of the Britax website) that either the Advocate or the Frontier would work for him.The differences I see is the Advocate sits up slightly higher, and it reclines.But the Frontier has arm rests and cupholders.

The Britax Line are all large size car seats and the Frontier 90 is no exception. IF it fit it would be very tight. I love the seat and it is by far the easiest seat to install or move from car to car that I have ever used.

On page 4 of the manual it reads to discontinue use of Recaro Pro Sport after 6 years or if an accident occurs. My daughter, almost 3 years, has been in the seat for 2 months and we both thing it's awesome. It's a solid seat, very comfortable, quick to buckle and unbuckle, low profile and tons of room to grow. I did hours of research on seats and the Recaro is the best by far. Highly recommend the purchase. -Joanna
