I don't know anything about those seats but I would go for one with higher harness slot heights as well as a higher rfing weight limit.

Are you looking at the two way plus? If so I would definitely get that over the Brio as it harnesses to 55lbs forward facing and the shell is a lot taller than the Brio.

Two-Way Plus and Brio Zento are both good seats but still quite different.

Two-Way Plus: Rear Facing to 55 lbs, forward facing to 55 lbs with harness. forward facing 55 lbs with seat belt (high back booster). Seat shell is second highest of all Swedish seats, 24 inches high.

Brio Zento: Rear facing to 55 lbs, forward facing to 40 lbs with harness, forward facing to 55 lbs with seat belt (high back booster). SEat shell is 21.8 inches which allows rear facing far shorter than Two-Way

Two-Way plus is the most common Swedish seat for parents outside Sweden together with Britax Multi Tech. It's the only European seat which allows forward facing to 55 lbs with a harness. The 55 lbs rear facing is of course great but almost all Swedish seats allow 55 lbs rear facing.

Brio Zento has a "foot prop" or "support leg" which may make installing a bit more flexible in some vehicles.

Two-Way will allow rear facing for the longest time of the two seats and install is usually very simple like all Swedish seats. If you need your seat installed in a van/minivan, Zento might be a better choice.

If you need help with a Swedish seat or have further questions, please feel free to ask questions here, PM me, or send email to ad@adventuredad.com (I'm located in Sweden)
