You'd be surprised. There's a member on M5Board that has full recaro racing seats in the front. He's obsessed with shedding weight on his car and has done some major surgery in search of lightness.


Thanks for all the comments guys. These seats will probably get more attention then any of my other mods. LOL!

Congrat's to Dylan!!! He deserves the best. I'm thinking about this, too. Thanks for the link.

HA! Yeah I was hoping to get the smallest and lightest booster seat available because my Britax Marathon baby seat was huge. But once I saw the Recaros, I couldn't resist.

Poleposition has had this seat in his cars for a while now. His eldest son loves it. I'm surprised you just got this, T. How about a picture of D, sitting in it.

Not sure about other states but in CA, the law (or the recommendation) is that the child has to be 4 years old or 40lbs before he/she can ride in a booster seat. Dylan is barely over 30lbs but he just turned 4 in Apr so that's why I finally got it now.
