… and you’re a stickler for quality and safety, but you haven’t quite found it in yourself to fork over for a Britax seat…
… may I suggest you consider this RECARO ProRIDE seat? The Aspen color is down to around $205—as low as it’s ever been—plus you can get a free $60 Amazon gift card with your purchase, essentially making it the same cost as many of the big-box-store options.
RECARO was new on the American scene when my kids were little, but they’ve established themselves as Britax’s main competitor in making highly-rated “luxury” car seats. And I don’t know about you, but if I needed one and could snag it at this price, I’d be stoked.
Recaro has a loooong history of making highly-regarded automobile seats, particularly racing seats for autocross and the like. I expect their child seats would be very high quality.
Well! That was a purchase I wasn’t planning on making today! 🙂 Still–a great deal on something we would have eventually bought anyway. Thanks, Mir!
