Does Your Carseat have Side Impact Protection? Recar Signo Does.

Have you heard the buzz about Recaro carseats? Recaro is a seating expert. Not only do they specialize in Child Safety Seating, they also design motorsport seating! I felt that if they could design a seat that would assist in the safety of drivers going at immense speeds, imagine what they could do in regards to child safety!

The thing that sells me on Recaro carseats, like the Signo my son is sitting in, is the Side Impact Protection! Not all carseat have this. But the Recaro Signo has energy absorbing headwings and mid-section support, as well as structural support for their hip and thighs. That's great to know, since so many children are injured during a side impact collission. Plus, it just makes the seat more comfortable! When my son falls asleep, his head no longer slumps over! it helps him sit more appropriately, which looks more comfortable and safer in the event of a collission.

Recaro makes two convertible seats, as well as a toddler seat and boosters. The two convertible seats are the Como and Signo. So, what's the difference? Well, I love that the the Signo has an infinite adjustable headrest. The Como has 5 headrest and harness positions. And while both convertibles come with latch mini connectors, the Signo has an additional latch bar which makes the switch from rear to forward-facing easier.

If you would like to read more about my experience with the Recaro Signo, please visit the Mom Buzz and read my complete review.

You can view a demo of the Recaro Signo here: Recaro Signo Demo.

This is solely the opinion of the Mom Buzz. Other people may have different experiences with the product.Thank you RecaroKids.com for providing a seat to review.

Summer Party: Gr8X DiaperBag

What’s more inconvenient than trying to change a diaper when you’re on the go? Zoos, parks, playgrounds, amusement parks don’t always have comfortable or clean places to place your baby. The Gr8X Baby Traveler Deluxe Diaper Bag has solved this problem in a fantastic new way.

Designed in Australia, GrbX bags incorporate the trends of the season yet ensure that innovation, function and quality remain the key criteria so that customers can continue to rely upon the brand. The gr8x range continues to expand and now has expanded into other exciting product categories such as our popular stretch swaddling wraps, a new luxurious foot muff and patented self inflating feeding pillow. The Gr8X Baby Traveler Deluxe offers an ingenious all-in-one diaper bag and changing pad that is different from all the others. This bag folds neatly into itself with lots of pockets and pouches but retains a stylish look with sleek colors/patterns.

Check out all the other features Gr8X has included with the Baby Traveler Deluxe:
Features:
· Machine washable (Deluxe models only)
· Adjustable backpack straps (Deluxe models only)
· Organized pockets that hold everything you will need to change your baby, including a large rear pocket
· Removable stroller straps
· Adjustable shoulder strap & briefcase style handle
· Soft, removable and machine washable change mat (spare change mats also available as separate accessory items)
· Insulated bottle traveler
· Drawstring bungee cord for a wrap or small blanket
· Mobile phone pouch
· 2 year manufacturing warranty
Dimensions:
· changing area L89cm x W33cm
· Bag closed H36cm x W39cm

We used our bag recently for a day full of shopping. The internal changing pad came in really handy for those times that changing tables weren’t available. I was able to use dressing rooms with ease and privacy. Diapers and wipes are easily accessible when the bag is open so there is no reaching around searching for exactly what is needed. The pockets are large and plentiful enough store diapers, wipes and a change of clothes and all the other necessities for your little one. The included stroller straps came in handy so the bag could easily be attached and kept out of the way when not needed. I was also able to store my baby carrier in the bungee strap on the outside of the bag. This left the stroller basket free for purchases. Gr8X has added many details to the Baby Traveler Deluxe so that it truly is an all-on-one diaper bag. Here is Rob wearing our awesome Burnt Orange bag.

Recaro Young Sport Car Seat

While on the search for a safe, yet comfortable car seat for my two year old son, I discovered the Recaro Young Sport Carseat. At first glance, this seat looked fantastic. The more I read about it, the more impressed I became.

We have been using this car seat for about 3 weeks now and love it. He is seating up higher and has a great view out the window. The generous padding seems very comfortable, especially when we take a longer trip. He no longer cries to get out of his seat or says his bottom hurts. One other thing I have noticed with this car seat is that every time I put him in it, he goes to sleep. See this is amazing to me, because my son has never slept in his carseat. Even on a 7 hour trip, he stays awake the entire time. That little part right there assures me just how comfortable it is for him.

Here is a little video to show you have quickly it can be installed (In case you are wondering, we just recently bought the new vehicle and left the plastic on Davis' seat).


Recaro Young Sport offers the latest safety protection like energy-absorbing EPS foam, deep side wings and an excellent fit for children weighing 20 - 80 pounds and over the age of 1 year. Due to its outstanding versatility, it provides the perfect platform on which to watch your child grow. With its height-adjustability it offers optimum safety for toddlers and young children. And as soon as your child outgrows the 5-point harness and seat cushion, you can remove them, converting the Young Sport into a booster seat.

Additional Recaro Car Seat Features:

• Recaro SIP: Improved safety thanks to this innovative Side Impact Protection system. The extra large side protection shell provides additional support when cornering
• Simplicity at hand: Multilevel adjustable headrest
• Ergonomic Shape: For healthy growth
• Seating Comfort: Integrated armrests
• Excellent Fit: Removable fit for each age group
• Convenience & Safety: Central belt adjuster for quick harness adjustment (5-pt. only)
• Easy Installation: Simply secure the seat with its LATCH System* or with the car's existing 2-* or 3-point seat belt (*only when used with the integrated harness system)
• Increased Safety: Highly visible red marking show the belt routing locations and help you slide the seat belts into the right position.

BabyMel X2 Diaper Bag

I found that it can be hard choosing the perfect diaper bag that fits you and your child. When you have your second child, it seems to get even harder. That's why I am so glad to share with you the BabyMel X2! It is this AWESOME 2-in-1 diaper bag. Put items for child #1 in one bag. Put items for child #2 in the second bag. Carry them both with one shoulder strap. If your hubby takes Child #1 on a fun trip, while you take Child #2 in a different direction - just separate the bags and go on your merry way. The bags come with an extra Shoulder Strap (with built in stroller strap) just for circumstances like this.

Both bags have wipe-clean liners inside, to easily clean up spills. They come with a changing pad and have an insulated side pocket to hold sippies or bottles! Plus, they come in a gorgeous selection of sleek colors. Red/Black (my favorite), Black/Black and Sand/Black.

Win:
Currently, there is an opportunity to win a BabyMel X2 in Red/Black. To enter, visit the Mom Buzz. This contest ends March 7th, 2009.
