Comment:
This Recaro seat is designed to be used from 5 pound babies up to 70 pound children. The adjustments for height can be made easily while the seat is installed and the angle of incline can too. It is extremely comfortable for my 14-month-old and she loves the seating position and incline. The material of the micro suede version that I bought is extremely soft and comfortable. Wonderful, wonderful product!

In forward facing position the headrest in a Volvo prohibits this seat from fitting really, really tight. Asked Volvo dealer if headrest could be removed or adjusted and the answer was no. Dealing with it.

Comment:
When we bought it we were overwhelmed with the size of the box it came in. I got the instruction Manual out and began reading it immediately. Easy to read and figure out, recaro has a color coding system for rear facing and front facing. The rear facing is how we began using it, we had a safety first infant air 35 that came with the stroller. Our daughter outgrew that pretty quickly. The hanna color (Pink) is more like a hot pink, the seat cover is easy to take off to clean, sadly you can only hand wash it. They are very clear not to machine wash or dry. But the instruction manual is clear on all the things you would need to do to install and maitain the seat. Rear facing installation is a challenge, especially with rear buckets like our 2008 nissan altima has, you will need a foam insert and some strength. We just turned it aorund to face forward and it seems to be meant for that use. Next time i'll wait till our next child absolutely can't fit before moving them into another pro-ride. It works great in a Chrysler mini van, we rented a town and country for a weekend trip to houston it went in easier rear facing and seemed to fit better. Mini vans rule!
