Just about perfect
We bought two of these boosters for our 7 and 9 year olds. They love them and so do we. They fit the kids perfectly, they fit the car perfectly. They are very solidly built and seem like they should be twice as safe in a crash as your average car seat. The size adjusment is simple and wide ranging. The material on these is really nice. It seems nicer than the vivo lite so...

Too narrow!
I purchased this for my 5 1/2 year old daughter. She is 43 lbs and 44" tall, and never has been above the 50th percentile. This seat is supposed to go up to 100 lbs, but it is SO narrow that my daughter could barely sit comfortably in it. She would have outgrown it w/i a year. Returned it and purchased a Britax. Thankfully Amazon has a great return policy.

Just about perfect, January 21, 2009
We bought two of these boosters for our 7 and 9 year olds. They love them and so do we. They fit the kids perfectly, they fit the car perfectly. They are very solidly built and seem like they should be twice as safe in a crash as your average car seat. The size adjusment is simple and wide ranging. The material on these is really nice. It seems nicer than the vivo lite so I'd suggest spending the few dollars more for the vivo.
I can only think of a couple reasons why these wouldn't be the best choice for anyone else. One is they are kind of heavy. So if you have to lug the booster around frequently for some reason you will get a workout. Two is the fact that they are quite the sporting design. Like I said they fit my kids great, but my kids are both skinny. If your kids are on the plump side they might find this booster a bit claustrophobic.

Awesome carseat! We own 4 of them!, April 14, 2009
We needed new carseats once the children outgrew the "convertible" carseats which don't last nearly as long as they ought. We tried the twins in every booster we could lay our hands on. They hated them all. I was very impressed with the Recaro safety features but couldn't get my husband to agree to the price sight unseen. I finally found a Recaro booster in a local baby specialty store and was even more impressed in person. Better yet, both children loved it. At 3 years old, they were so happy with the comfort and I was so happy with the convenience and safety. I immediately ordered two online. After one week, both children refused to ride in my husband's car anymore because he had the "baby" seats installed and they wanted their "big kid" seats. After two weeks, my husband asked me to order two more. The twins are now 6 and STILL love their carseats and so do we. They are washable, lightweight, easy to move to other cars, easy to sleep in, comfortable and SAFE! Buy a Recaro; you won't regret it!

I LOVE this carseat, September 28, 2007
I was searching for the perfect booster seat for my 3 1/2 year old son when I came across the Recaro Vivo Booster Seat. I looked at their website and all of the safety features and compared it to other top of the line seats like Britax. My son was transistioning from the Britax Marathon so safety is very important to me. When I saw all of the safety features I decided to go with the Recaro Vivo over the Britax Parkway or the Monarch. I liked the deep head and body wings that cradeled my son and the side impact protection that they offered. Even though I have a car with side impact airbags in the front and rear, you can never be too safe when it comes to your child. The seat is very stable and fits perfectly in any seat in the rear of the vehicle. The seat offers three reclining posistions so that you can get the most accurate fit in your car. It also is adjustable and fits children through the age of ten. The bottom also detaches for when the child outgrows the back support and they can be in the base for even longer. I am extremely happy with this purchase and my son loves his big boy car seat.

Great carseat, March 7, 2008
I chose this carseat based on safety information I could find. It is also very well made. My 4.5 year old really likes it. When I asked him if it was comfortable, he told me, "Oh yes, it is a little magnificent!" So there you have it. We are all very happy with this purchase.

The best in its price range, May 10, 2010
We bought this seat after the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety rated this booster a "best bet". And boy are we glad we did. The seat is very well built and sturdy in comparison to others in its price range. It's easy to assemble and move around from car to car. The way it guides the belt is ideal, something that other seats miss. It also has head protection that many other seats seem to overlook. We like this booster so much, I just ordered a second one for our 3 year old (who is a big boy). We are confident that this seat will fit our kids through our state's requirements!

Great booster seat, September 3, 2009
This review is from: Recaro Vivo High Back Booster Car Seat, Midnight Desert Micofiber (Baby Product)
Great booster seat it is well built and offers a lot of protection to your child. My son loves it he calls it his racing seat. Other parents who have seen it always mention how well built this car seat is compared to theirs.

Good Build Quality and Easy to Use, November 5, 2009
This review is from: Recaro Vivo High Back Booster Car Seat, Midnight Desert Micofiber (Baby Product)
Overall this is a really nice booster seat. The only reason I didn't give it 5 out of 5 stars is that I'm a little concerned that it won't last until our son is 8-9 years old / 90 to 100 lbs...which is the booster requirement here in Texas. He's 4 now and 41 lbs and his shoulders just fit between the "wings." Height won't be an issue due to the adjustable head rest but we'll have to see if the shoulder room becomes an issue over time. For reference our son is fairly lean but he does have somewhat broad shoulders. Nothing way out of the ordinary, but slightly wider than most kids his age. He definitely likes his race car seat though...

31lbs, 37" not good fit, January 21, 2008
My son meets the minimum height and weight requirements for this seat and he does not fit in the seat the way the manual claims he should so I'm going to suggest waiting until your child is at least 38" tall for the shortest setting. I say this because torso lengths vary person to person. Otherwise, it's a lightweight seat, easy to use and install, and my son is excited about his big boy seat.

Very nice booster seat!, June 10, 2010
I purchased this booster seat for my almost 5 year old son who is 40 lbs and just under 4 ft tall. I hated to part with my 5 point car seat but it was time. I researched many booster seats. We have a Sunshine Monterey in our other car. There were things I didn't like about it and didn't want for my son's primary booster seat. This seat reclines (slightly) and my son said it's very comfortable. It was rated highly by the NHI for safety. I like the attachment along the side where you hook the strap so it's very secure. My son's head doesn't fall forward if he falls asleep in this seat. Portability is a plus too. You can't go wrong with this booster seat.
