The Recaro Toron 1 is a premium i-Size car seat built to travel with your child from newborn right up to around 4 years old (40 to 105cm), and comes in Epic Green, a warm, timeless neutral that suits pretty much any car interior. Engineered in Germany and honoured with a German Design Award for Excellent Product Design, the Toron 1 brings together serious safety credentials and genuinely thoughtful everyday features, so it is easy to see why it has caught the eye of design experts as well as parents.
Built Around Newborn Safety
The Toron 1 is approved to the i-Size standard (UN ECE R129) and designed with extended rear-facing travel in mind, which remains the safest way for little ones to travel for as long as possible. It comes with an integrated newborn insert, so it is ready to use from day one, and the headrest and harness adjust together as your child grows, meaning you will not need to buy a new seat as they move through the early stages. Deep, enveloping side wings create a snug, cocoon-like feel that babies and toddlers settle into easily. At the same time, the seat's structure is engineered as a high-level reboarder, focusing on progressive energy absorption in both frontal and side impacts.
A Recline Built for Real Sleep
One of the standout features of the Toron 1 is its deep recline of approximately 175 degrees, which is a genuine game changer for car naps. It helps prevent that uncomfortable head slump that happens when little ones drift off, supports a newborn's delicate spine, and helps keep airways open during rest. The resulting position mimics being cradled in your arms rather than sat bolt upright, which makes a real difference on longer trips. Even in cars with more upright rear seats, this recline allows you to achieve a safer, more comfortable resting angle without any compromise on protection.
360 Degree Rotation for Effortless Everyday Use
Getting a wriggling baby or toddler in and out of the car is so much easier when the seat can rotate to face the door, and the Toron 1's smooth 360-degree rotation does exactly that. It reduces the back strain that comes with reaching across a rear-facing seat, speeds up those hectic morning drop-offs, and makes it much simpler to tighten the harness correctly and check that straps and clothing are properly positioned. A seat that is easy to use properly is, in turn, a seat that protects better, which is exactly the thinking behind this design.
Reinforced Protection, Whatever the Weather
Side impact protection comes from an adaptive trapezoid system alongside an enhanced side impact absorption zone and a reinforced shell, all working together with a stable ISOFIX installation to give you real confidence during braking, cornering, or the unexpected. The active ventilation system is a welcome touch too, with rear airflow openings that keep air circulating through the seat shell to reduce overheating and minimise sweating on warmer days or longer motorway stretches, so journeys stay comfortable whatever the season.
