"After looking at all the reviews decided upon this car seat and pleased I did. My 4 year old daughter loves it, it is easy to put in and out the car and she sleeps well in it. She finds it very comfortable for our long journeys and the extra padding was one of the selling points for me. Definitely worth the money."

"On the 'Must Have' List for my 4-year old's use was Isofix, comfortable headrest for snoozing and easy to buckle belt. Easy to clean would be helpful too. It was simple to install and quite secure and looked smart on the leather seats - other seats I have tried slipped and wobbled.The seatbelt fits nicely across the lap and buckles without much fuss or adjustment. I didn't realise the headrest was adjustable with a little squeezy air pump at the side. This is a bonus as she can sleep more comfortably on long journeys. I also didn't realise there was an MP3 pouch and headphone socket to speakers in the headrest. This will be very useful in the years to come, but not yet!"

"My daughter loves it, she likes the fact she's not in a 5 point harness so can reach her toys and things in the back of the seat in front. The built in earphones although a bit of a gimick allow her to happily watch TV without us having to listen as well. Also I prefer Isofix seats"

Pros: great quality, looks, easy to use
"This is my second Recaro Monza Seatfix purchase, one for each car, so that shows how happy I am with the Seat. The only issue with this one is that a panel at the back doesn't quite fit correctly. I could take it back but the problem is so small I can't be bothered. Would always buy Racaro as the quality, looks are so much better than the competition"

Pros: quality, easy installation, comfy, reclines
Cons: speakers
"A true Recaro seat, Quality is superb and the isofix system adds security for side impact and stops the seat flying around the car when there is nobody sitting in it. The speaker system in the headrest is a very sexy addition but they do need amplifying as they are just headphones but i have retro fitted some from a PC speaket system . My son can enjoy Peppa without me having to hear it for the 1000th time. All in all if you value the safety of your child and have Isofix in your vehicle this seat is a must!!!"

Pros: very comfortable
Cons: possibly a bit expensive but i wanted a good seat
"I bought this booster seat for my 3 and half year old son and he loves it! The main reason I picked this one is because it is well padded and looked as if it would be very comfortable on long journeys, which it is! He likes listening to my ipod with the speakers in the head rest which suits us as he can hear it but we can't, I was told that this is not a gimmick and that it encourages them to sit properly in the seat as they can only hear it if their head is back and I'd say that is true but it also depends on the mp3 player you have as to how loud it is and so far we've had no problems. My son is happy with it therefore so are we."

"We spent a lot of time researching stage 3 car seats when our children needed to upgrade and after lots of reading of reviews both consumer and professional we decided on this car seat for it's superior impact absorption qualities - safety was number one.
I have been very satisfied with it, the speakers in the headrest and the expandable / deflatable headrest cushion are more 'fluff' than useful extras, although I expect the speakers may come in handy when the kids are older and fighting over the choice of music in the car!
Definitely a recommended purchase and worth the money - I bought a cheap Graco stage 3 seat as a spare for the grandparents and there is a huge difference in the sturdiness and comfort - spend the money and get a decent seat!"

Pros: sturdy, easy to use, doesn't move around when unoccupied
Cons: speakers are poor too quiet, recline mechanism isn't easy to use
"Nice seat, material is a touchy "showy", but much better than the plain fabric of the comparable Britax KidFix. Only real negative is the integral speakers, which are just too quiet to be of any use.
Recline mechanism is also not easy to use, you really need to detach the seat first."

"The first time I fitted the chair, the Isofix attachment broke. Looking in the manual, this is what is expected to happen following an accident! Returned the chair for a refund. I initially purchased the chair as the base was more padded than others on the market (which are usually nothing more than a piece of cloth over a plastic base). However, I learnt that such padding is not common as it can increase the chances of the child slipping under the lap portion of the seatbelt in an accident. New regulations are also about to control the amount of padding for this reason too apparently."

Pros: isofix system
Cons: speakers are to low consider road noise in car
"I purchased this car seat for my 3 year daughter. We chose black which matches our car seats. The base fabric is separate from the back fabric which is excellent when accidents occur. The negative point regarding this seat is the speakers which don't have too much volume control and are too low compared to the road noise whilst the car is travelling. As always isofix is a great system"

"it has a pump to fill the air on the head rest, its really cool. also it has its own speakers, we dont have to hear the rhymes in the car anymore, just copied it to the mp3 player and connected it to the car seat. now my son gets his music and we get ours. The cover material is a bit different and it looks as if its a second hand car seat."

"I recently bought the Recaro child seat for my wife's car. I had been to Halfords previously and viewed all seats available, I knew this seat would be suitable for a long time. It had a lot of extras, including an "MP3" connection. The seat was high quality and fitted straight away after reading the in-depth instruction manual. Excellent quality which was expected from a high quality brand name. Looks like a full blown rally seat, it's a shame that the dont have adult sizes at that price."
