Advantages: good quality
Disadvantages: not the easiest to fit

i had the young profi plus car seat and was so impressed with it i decided to for the young expert plus when my little one grew out if the smaller one. there are definite plus points to this seat but there are some drawbacks too. i cant fault the quality it is robust and well built. my little one seems happy enough in it so not much more you can say than that. i found that this did not fit to well in my vectra or in a astra so maybe worth trying ...
...my fiat ulysse.i am aware not all car seats fit all cars and you should always get them fitted by a proffesional however i am sharing my personal experience it is not the easiest to fit in your car and you do need to work out the knack to it. the seat front drops forward and you feed the seatbelt through and clip in so essentially the seatbelt has strapped the back of the seat in. the tricky ish part is clipping the front of the seat back while ...

Advantages: Slim Handle Design, Lightweight, Well Padded, Velour Material
Disadvantages: Handle Design, Fixings

...dug deeper and found the Recaro Young Profi. The first thing you notice about the seat is the quality and thickness of the padded velour material Recaro use, its luxurious and very soft - just right for a special package! The handle design is unique it folds over the seat, giving it a very slim profile, ideal for use in 2 door cars, and doubles as a handle and is neoprene covered so is soft to use. The drawback to it, is as it clips to the seat, ...
...insitu in the car! Recaro say this is a 0-9 month seat, however the overall size is fairly small and I cannot see this lasting for a 9 month baby, time will tell. Overall it is a stylish, well made comfortable and high quality seat. The slim design makes it perfect for 2 door cars. ... Read review

Advantages: recline function
Disadvantages: material on seat bobbles

...with it. After visiting Mamas and Papas the Store Assistant managed to sell us this car seat, as we were originally going for something else we'd seen on the internet which was around £30 cheaper. As she explained, one of the key benefit of this car seat is the fact that there is a handle near the base that can be turned up to 3 times, to make the seat recline backwards - this is an especially key feature for me in rating this seat as my daughter ...
...was around 10 months. The benefit of this is the fact that if the baby falls asleep in the car, which they tend to do, their head doeasn't flop forward, and instead they are more comfortably asleep. The only downsides of the seat are that it is a little bulky, and maybe slightly confusing for those who are installing the seat for the 1st time. The pro on the other hand is that you can see the seat is really secure and safe with all of the loops ... Read review

Advantages: very padded and comfortable
Disadvantages: needs a wide (standard seat ) to install safely and needs a strong arm too!

We bought the Eclipse SI in the january sales and patiently waited for the boy to weigh enough to install it. Three months later he hit the requisite 19lbs and he has never been happier. I have a 2 seater SUV (without airbag) and hubby has a hatchback so we have tested the car seat in the front and back and it works very well. You do need a bit of weight behind you to press the seat in firmly when first installing - if you are a lady on your own ...
...I would look for something lighter - but once it is installed it is very convenient, easy to get in and out and now i have the hang of it, little one does not even wake up when i get him out when we get home. There are two settings but we leave it tilted back as a default and the boy is comfortable and can still see what's going on. I am very pleased with this purchase and it was very reasonably priced too. ... Read review
