Great post! I, too, have a 5 y/o that is 42" tall, but is 41lbs. She is in a Regent in my vehicle and an Apex 65 in my dh's truck (that is rarely used). I LOVE the Regent...that's why both my kiddos are in them!

I agree somewhat about the Recaro, but there are pros and cons to every seat. Sorry you had a poor experience with them. There is a Recaro rep here on the boards. Under RecaroCares. I'm sure they would enjoy hearing the experience and maybe giving them some feedback would help train their CSR's more in their seat knowledge!

Again, GREAT post, Paul! Thanks for sharing!
