Our Review of the RECARO Signo convertible car seat

The RECARO Signo car seat is the premier convertible child seat RECARO produces. With its 5-70 lbs weight capacity, adjustable harness, and forward or rear-facing convertibility, the deluxe RECARO Signo may be the only car seat you will ever need.

The Signo offers the same basic features and specifications as the RECARO Como convertible, but adds a few features - such as double wall head support and infinite harness adjustment settings.

  • Protects an infant from 5-35 lbs in the rear facing position
  • Protects a toddler 20-70 lbs in the forward facing position

BENEFITS FOR YOU

For parent's, the Signo convertible child seat's key benefits are its high harness weight capacity, adjustability, and easy conversion from rear to forward facing. The Signo may be the only car seat your child will ever need.

Convenience

The Signo's simple knob controlled adjustment setting for the headrest and harness allows you to adjust the fit of the seat as your child grows. In addition, the Signo has a back cover that protects your vehicle's seats from dents and tears while also minimizing outside interference to the harness routing.

Installation

Depending on your child's size and phase of development, the RECARO Signo is a convertible car seat that can be forward or rear facing. It installs easily with LATCH or your vehicle's safety belts..

  • Be sure to check the LATCH weight limitations of your vehicle in the vehicle owner's manual
BENEFITS FOR LITTLE ONES

RECARO child seats excel in providing both comfort and safety for your baby. Infants and toddlers riding in the RECARO Signo are not only protected by the best child seat safety technology on they market, they are also riding in one of the most comfortable (and stylish) car seats you can buy.

Comfort

The Signo car seat combines most of the best features offered by RECARO child seats into one comfortable, all-purpose seat that grows with your child. Unique features of the Signo like the headrest and harness adjustment knob allow for "infinite" settings. This feature lets you customize the fit of the Signo, perfectly adapting to your child's height and size as he or she grows.

In addition, the RECARO Signo's plush fabrics, ergonomic design, and energy absorbent padding provide both security and a cozy place to ride. Lined with EPS foam and wrapped in soft microfiber materials, the Signo convertible child seat reduces pressure on your child's rear and knees and encourages a restful ride. The double wall headrest support makes the Signo even more sleep friendly, preventing your child's head from slumping during naps.

Safety

RECARO child seats are precision engineered to provide peak protection in the event of a collision. The RECARO Signo is one of a select few convertible carseats with a harness weight capacity of 70 lbs. It secures with lower LATCH tethers or your vehicle safety belts.

  • All RECARO car seats are fully FMVSS 213 certified.

RECARO Side Impact Protection (SIP) provides additional impact absorption in the event of a side collision, and comes from the deep EPS lined headrest of the Signo.

COMPARISON

The Signo convertible child seat's closest cousin is the RECARO Como. The Como has the same specifications (size, weight, fit, etc.) as the Signo - but fewer features. The Como lacks the Signo's infinitely adjustable headrest and harness.

    Unsurpassed safety

    5
    Reviewer: Chris , NW Arkansas Date: December 10, 2009
    I began to research convertible seats when our daughter started to approach the height and weight limits of her infant carrier. After weeks of research, we settled on the Recaro Signo. Everything I read seemed to point to this seat, but we were completely sold once we saw it in person and compared it side by side with others we were considering (including several of the higher end Britax models). None of the other seats come close to being as sturdy, the side impact protection is the best available, and our daughter seems to be much more comfortable in this than in her infant seat. The Signo is big, but the footprint is no larger than an infant carrier with base. I believe this is one of the best investments we have made, and expect that it will be the last seat we need to purchase for our daughter.

    Worst Seat Ever

    Reviewer: Anonymous , Page,AZ Date: November 14, 2009
    This seat is not worth the money.. The straps always twist and it is such a pain. The seat cover has a hole in it and it is just from washing because it is where the inside seat pad is. It is big and bulky. I have twins, so I bought 2 Sunshine Kids car seats and I may throw this one out and replace it with Sunshine Kids depending on how well I like those.

    Love the Harness that supports up to 70 pounds

    Reviewer: Anonymous , Port Huron, MI Date: November 11, 2009
    I bought the Signo after I had already converted my 3 year old to a booster and seat belt. I needed to put him in a motor home that only had one shoulder belt (which I needed for my 7 yr old). So I searched for a harness seat that had a max capacity of over 40 pounds and found the Signo. My child had no problem converting back to a harness, I just explained to him in a matter of fact way that it was safer. Well, we were rear ended recently and while we were all ok, the impact was pretty hard. I was so scared for my boys, but when I looked back, and saw they were safe and secure in their Recaro's, I was relieved. I was glad he was in a harness. It's easy to see them as so big, but in that situation he looked so small and scared. Just please make sure your car seat is properly installed and that the harness is at the right spot across their chest (see manual). So many people unknowingly have their children belted improperly and when you get in an accident, you want to know their safe. The car insurance is buying us two new carseats and Recaro it is!

    Reviewer: CDW , Greenwood, IN Date: November 06, 2009
    Both of our kids have these seats. Our oldest got hers around 1 1/2-2 and our youngest had his acouple of months after he was born. Had we known with our little girl what a great seat this was, she would have had hers earlier. After almost three years of use these seats are working great. They are super easy to take in and out unlike some other seats we had. I am a car seat installation technician so I have had my hands on lots of seats and I dread installing anything but these. I wish more people knew about them.

    Reviewer: Caitlin , Louisville, KY Date: June 03, 2009
    After spending a good deal of time researching car seats for my 7 month old, I couldn't imagine choosing anything other than Recaro. We now have a Signo in each car, and we love them. My son absolutely hated his infant carrier; his usually laid back demeanor was out the window when his butt hit that seat. He fought the Recaro the first time. The second time, however, he was happy to go for a ride! The seat is amazingly cushy. My 9 year old niece rode in the backseat with my son, and expressed a little jealousy over the comfy ride he was getting!!! As far as it being huge, it is pretty big. However, in both of our vehicles, we have more room up front than we did with the infant carrier. There is also more room for the other backseat passengers than with the infant carrier. It is a little taller, and I have a little trouble seeing when I merge. But if I sit up nice and straight, problem solved! Oh, and my husband and I drive a Ford Escort and a Chevy Aveo, both pretty small cars. No problem!! Also, recarochildseat.com was amazing. When the seat I ordered was placed on backorder and I told them about my dilemma (my son being less than an inch away from outgrowing his infant seat) they quickly responded and tried to resolve it. Four days later I had a car seat. So, they were pretty awesome to deal with :).

    Excellent Safety Seat

    Reviewer: Kristy , Tustin, Ca Date: May 02, 2009
    I bought the signo car seat for my daughter and 1 month ago I was involved in a car accident. It was a side impact collision and my 16 month old daughter was in the car and she didn't even recieve a scratch. Thanks to the side head padding she would of gotten whip lash with any other car seat but she left that accident with no trauma to herself at all. Thank you Ricaro!

    RECARO is the best

    Reviewer: Anonymous , Dothan, Al Date: May 02, 2009
    After doing extensive research, I purchased the Signo for my 14 mo son, who is now 17 mo and still RF. I looked at many other seats to include the Radian and the Boulevard. The decision was an easy one. What sold me was the head protection. The fabric is extremely soft and I have not had any issues with the straps twisting. The padding in this seat is amazing there is padding everywhere! Once we got the seat I felt confident that he is as safe as possible. Once installed, the seat does not move at all. The only draw back that I can think of is that the seat sits up very high and could potentially create a blind spot for the driver. I just use my mirrors and look over my shoulder, but I do see how that could be an issue. However, it did not deter us from purchasing an additional seat for the second car. We plan to use RECARO exclusively for all of our subsequent seats. RECARO is the best!

    AMAZING! BETTER THAN BRITAX!!!

    Reviewer: Haley , San Diego Date: January 11, 2009
    I am a nanny and a little OCD about carseats. The kids that I nanny for are very special to me, I wanted to know if something ever happened, I would know that they would be as safe as possible! I only bought one, thinking that the 5 year old I nanny for wouldnt really fit or want to be in this seat, boy was I wrong. She loves everything pink, and for her to reject the pink booster I got her and want this black seat (bought for her baby sister) is saying alot. Her quotes exactly, "The black one is much more comfy, much better for naps, Miss Haley, can I have this one, Brookey can have the other one." And beyond being comfy, it is super safe! The wings are better than the boulevards and deeper, allowing for better head support during a crash. It is HUGE though. I have a toyota corolla and my backseat is pretty much all carseat. (a marathon for 17 month old, and the recaro for 5 year old) I am really debating getting another one! Great, expensive but look for deals online. This carseat is awesome, you wont regret it!

    Happy Customer

    Reviewer: Anonymous , Cobb, CA Date: December 19, 2008
    I'm very happy with my RECARO Signo. The $1 return shipping was enough incentive for me to try this seat without first seeing it in person. We live in a rural mountainous location and are often on the road for long periods of time. I needed something that was extremely secure and comfortable for my 14 mo. daughter who had stopped sleeping in her old seat due to discomfort. The extra side protection cushions give her somewhere to rest her head and I can tell she likes the feel of the soft fabric as she is constantly rubbing her cheeks on it and smiling! She is now one happy camper and I am too because I know she is both safe and comfortable. Overall I'm very happy with the quality of this product. The only flaw (which I had read in reviews and am now experiencing myself) is the twisting of belts due to the soft fabric they are made from. It just requires a little extra patience and would not stop me from purchasing another RECARO in the future. I'm hooked!
