In 1906 the present day company known as Recaro was started in Stuttgart, Germany by Wilhelm Reutter as a high end automotive, or coach, maker in the up and coming automotive industry. The automaker know as , Reutter & Co., became famous for creating and working on prototypes of automobiles for many car companies such as VW, Porsche, and Daimler to name a few. In 1963 the company formed its present day name by combining REutter and CAROsserien, meaning coaches, to come up with Recaro.
In 1965, the first Recaro sport seat was introduced and the company quickly became a recognized name in the motor racing industry. Today, Recaro is a part of the Keiper Recaro Group, which has a worldwide reputation as an aircraft, racing cars, off road vehicles and automobile mobile seat solutions leader. In 1998 Recaro entered the juvenile industry by launching their first child seat.
The Recaro child safety division of the company focuses only on child seats. They offer a line called the PROseries that features a convertible seat called the PROride that is rear facing to 35 lbs and forward facing to 70 lbs. A combination harness to booster seat known as the PROsport that holds children 20-120 lbs, and a high back booster seat called the PRObooster that protects children 30-120 lbs. And the Vivo high back booster seat, that accommodates children 30-100 lbs and is offered at a lower price point than the PRObooster. All seats have different fashions available to fit your style. Recaro has taken everything they know about seating safety and miniaturized it for their smallest customers.
Our favorite Recaro seat is the PRObooster, which is a premium high back booster. The PRObooster features side impact protection, a quick lift head restraint, easy guide belt guides, soft touch seat cushion, EPS foam, and PUR automotive comfort foam for ultimate comfort. The Recaro PRObooster also features a CoolMesh air ventilation system, which allows air to flow through the seat for the child’s skin to stay cool. All of their seats are assembled in the USA in order to maintain the highest levels of quality control. Every RECARO child car seat is designed with the added advantage of Recaro’s auto racing safety expertise, automotive seating and ergonomic comfort knowledge to provide the safest, most comfortable ride for your child.
