High-Performance Safety

New High Impact Energy Absorbing Technology

We looked closely at a child?s protection needs at all levels of crash severity and created the state-of-the-art Roadster XL. Its strategic combination of protective materials and padding maintain their structure and absorb impact energy throughout extreme crash scenarios. Energy management technology is engineered into the shell and offers a world class crash protection system that is designed to protect children during high impact crashes and reduce forces transferred to the child.

Its Racing-Inspired safety features are tested to international standards and also include full body Side Impact Protection with enhanced side wings to shield the head and face, a PUR foam headrest that limits neck movement, and reinforcements at the sides, hips and thighs to help stabilize the torso and pelvis.

Best In Class Safety Protection System Key Elements: Feel better in all aspects

Ergonomic Expertise: Your child will arrive to your destination relaxed after a trip in the Roadster XL. Its ergonomically shaped seat is designed to provide optimum comfort while protecting and supporting the fragile body of growing children.

Strong Side Impact Structure: Ingeniously designed, the Roadster XL?s structure features energy management technology that has been rigorously tested to meet and exceed industry standards. Its distinctive racing-inspired protective structure, with deep side wings embrace, shield and stabilize a child during a side impact crash.

Premium Materials: A combination of premium materials and protective padding maintain their structure and absorb impact energy during extreme crash scenarios. Refined high density plastics, strong metals, premium buckles and belts and high density cushions provide additional support with maximum comfort. HERO Harness Technology: HERO is a patented, innovative safety feature by RECARO. HERO ensures the highest level of protection and comfort by positioning the shoulder pads to appropriately fit the child's neck, head and shoulders. It provides superior comfort and resists harness twisting while ensuring proper chest clip positioning. Safety Stripe System: A Racing-Inspired white stripe that is clearly visible on the outside edge of the 5-point harness. This stripe is designed as an easy alert to parents that a twist could occur, or has begun, thus preventing a safety hazard.

High-Performance Comfort

The Roadster XL offers best in class comfort features. It features all new, easy to clean, premium Dura Flex fabrics. The high quality, durable fabrics cushion and cradle your child with four way stretch capabilities while remaining soft and smooth on their delicate skin. The temperature-balancing Dura Flex fabrics also feature air flow channels, and combined with the built-in shell vents, create a Dual Air Flow Comfort System to keep your child cool and comfortable. The Cloud Comfort Memory Foam on the Roadster XL contours to your child's shape and, combined with the ergonomic shell structure and removable cushion insert, allows extra comfort for short errands or long road trips. For no-fuss care and maintenance, the Roadster XL car seat comes in a variety of easy-to-clean fabrics and colors. The PUR foam headrest and soft HERO Harness Pads provide extra comfort as well as protection.

High-Performance Convenience

In addition to a rear-facing recline position, the Roadster XL has a QuickFlip recline foot. The two recline position options ensure a precise and easy installation by providing extra inches for level to ground adjustments and increase comfort for your rear-facing child.

The EasyAdjust five-point harness can be customized to properly accommodate your growing child and allow for a quick and precise fit. The harness and headrest simultaneously adjust with a simple turn of a knob and without the hassle of re-threading any straps. TrueLock belt lock-offs prevent any slippage from your vehicle's seat belt when used forward-facing and make installation a breeze. Designed with a premium push-button, built-in LATCH system, the Roadster XL is easy to secure to your vehicle. The universal Top Tether system and LATCH connectors also have built-in convenient storage options for when they are not in use.

The car seat also offers chest-clip storage pockets to keep the loose ends of harness belts tucked neatly out of the way when you are placing your child in the seat. The Roadster XL also comes with a removable cup holder that can be secured on either side of the car seat.

Comfortable and Peace of Mind
November 8, 2017
When I received this car seat my first impression was....this is huge and contemplated returning this item however after having my son in it for a week returning this car seat was no longer an option. My 14 month old loves this car seat, he would get cranky from time to time but ever since we got his big boy car seat...not once has he been fussy and its now going on 1 month of him using it. Most importantly with all the padding the car seat has I have peace of mind knowing he is safe and secure when traveling.
Pros
  • Padded and comfortable for the little traveler!
Cons
  • Bulky and may take up a lot of room if you have a small car, however not a problem in my van!

My husband and I had been searching for a convertible car seat for our 11 month old since he was out growing his infant car seat. Safety ratings were our number one concern but price also played a factor since we would eventually be purchasing 2 so we would have one in each car. The Recaro car seat ended up being our choice based on others reviews and we couldn't be happier with our choice! Our little boy loves his seat and it has so much room and the seat has a lot of cushion. We live in the south so it does get very hot, but we have yet to experience any issues from being too hot in the seat or anything of that nature. We decided to purchase from Albeebaby as well because they were anywhere from $60-$120 less in price for the exact same item. It was delivered in 3 days and we had no issues with packaging or shipping. I would definitely recommend this item!

The Best Car Seat
September 24, 2017
I have been searching for a quality car seat for over 4 months. I can't believe the junk that is out there. I had been looking at the higher quality seats, but the best manufacturers are no longer selling in the USA. This Recaro seat blows the competition away. I almost want to buy a second one to have a back up for other family members. This is the seat to buy if you can find one.
Pros
  • Overall quality in every aspect.
Cons
  • None
