 Thrown fit for a Princess!Nov 04, 2008
Although a large seat, I have been able to fit it easily(rear facing) in a VW Jetta, Nissan Altima, and Chevrolet TrailBlazer. My daughter loves sitting in it, and because of the high sitting position, I'm sure she'll be able enjoy viewing the road as we travel.
So much better than the restOct 22, 2008
I have a 7 month old who is very long/tall. I bought an Evenflo car seat before the Recaro and it took me close to an hour to figure out how to put it in my car. After multiple other problems I returned it and decided to spend the money on either Britax or a Recaro seat. I love the extra padding with the Recaro seat. It took me about 5 minutes to install it without directions. LOVE THIS CAR SEAT!

2nd child = 2nd RecaroOct 22, 2008
Having owned Recaro race seats for my cars, I was a bit biased. For our first child, we first purchased a Britax Marathon for my wife's car (2 years ago), a great child safety seat but has big footprint for a convertible car seat.
When it came time to purchase a forward facing seat for my Toyota, I selected the Recaro Young Sport and love it almost as much as my son does. This put Recaro Child Seats on the radar in our house.
With the arrival of our second son, we went back into the pool of available convertible car seats. We narrowed our choices down to the new Britax Diplomat and the relatively new Recaro Signo. We could not find the Britax (Aug. '08) to try out, but did find the Recaro Signo. We got the Signo for less than the Diplomat, and I think we got the better of the two. It's a perfect fit for our 5 month old, and can still accommodate my 2.5 year old (if needed). Properly installed, there is still plenty of legroom for an adult in front.
I personally like the build quality and the stability of the seat. We are so happy with our choice, that we are about to purchase another Signo for my car.
Good seat, easy to installOct 03, 2008
I like this seat. It was pretty easy to instal, takes only 5 min and I was able to secure it very easily that it would hardly move. I am very happy with the purchase.

I feel so confident about my daughter's safety in this seat!Oct 01, 2008
We shopped around for a car seat for our 8 month old daughter and ended up narrowing it down to the Maxi-Cosi Priori and the Recaro Signo. We actually ended up buying the Maxi-Cosi but when my wife brought it home I didn't fell comfortable with the safety features. The Maxi-Cosi has very stiff foam to protect the child's head from side impact and I felt the foam was so stiff it would do more harm than good. We returned that seat and decided to purchase the Recaro Signo.
The Recaro Signo came in the mail and when I opened the box it looked like a chair fit for an astronaut. The chair is so plush I wish it came in adult size. It has thick, luxurious padding all around and excellent side impact protection.
As far as our daughter is concerned, she can't get enough of it. She gets the best naps in this seat and falls asleep almost instantly upon being buckled in for a ride.
Another plus is the buckle. The buckle takes a firm amount of pressure to release the straps. While some might find this bothersome I think it is a great safety feature because I can rest assured knowing she won't be able to release the straps on her own.
Ok, here are the negatives. This chair is big, I mean, really big. Not so much wide, but tall. We drive a 2008 Chevy Tahoe so it's not a small car but I (6'0" tall) can just barely see over the top of the seat if I'm looking over my shoulder to change lanes or reverse. We have found that we really have to rely on our side view mirror because looking beyond the car seat is nearly impossible. We keep the car seat in the center. If you were to put the seat directly behind the driver this wouldn't be a problem but I feel my daughter is safer in the center.
The second negative is the warmth of the chair. Its summertime now and we live in Southern California so it can get hot and with all of the plush padding in this seat it looks like it can be a bit warm. Fortunately cars have air conditioning so this is only a problem for the first couple of minutes of a drive.
Over all I wouldn't trade this car seat for anything and I've noticed all of our friends and family have been impressed with it. I think you will be too and if you're looking for a good price shop around on line and I think you can find a good deal like we did.
