I have/had the Recaro seats for my boy. I got them because of the name and that they would look spot on in my 3dr, the one car they have never been in, lol. He had the Young Profi Plus and now has the Young sport:

http://www.recaro-seats.co.uk/child-seats/index.php

After I had bought them I did read some reports where the safety rating wasn't as good as some others but I have had no problems with them and they do look spot on. Mind you I have never needed to test the safety aspect of them and pray that I never do!
