Default Recaro baby seat

Is anybody using a seat from the Recaro baby seat range?

I'm looking to purchase the Recaro Start iQ, and wanted to know if anybody has some feedback on them.

Seems like a good seat that can be used from birth to about age 4.

I'm looking at getting one soon myself. I've got a buddy that had 2 of them and loved them. I think they just came out with new models but the prior ones were rated at the top for safety I believe.

I'm hoping for a deal to come along. I've seen them on deal sites for ~160 but not in the last 9 months that my daughter has been here . I hated to buy one before knowing what color to get HA! Now I'm gonna have to pony up I guess.

It has nothing to do with my fiance's driving abilities either ...

I got one for my daughter that she started using when she was one and it now turning 4 on the 20th. The seat still looks brand new and I have removed and washed the covers a few times (you know the usualy vomet deal lol). And the cover still fit super snug the. Seat is also super heavy duty compared to all the other brand on the market even ones in the same price point. Granted they are pretty expensive, I paid like 320 but it will also be the last seat vyou get that kid. You will be very happy with it .

Where did you guys buy them from?

I figured if they carried recaro's name they would be quality, but great to hear stories to back it up.
