    Disturbing RF crashtest videos

    Just see it. Volvo - YouTube Besafe - YouTube Brio - YouTube AktaCosmic - YouTube That is very disturbing. I guess we shouldn't speculate whether to lean the seat against dash/front seat. After seeing those videos I believe it should be mandatory. I wonder if they...

    New RF group 0+/1 isofix seat on European market

    Hi, I just stumbled upon this RF seat called Fair G-0/1. Although it doesn't seem of the quality of top manufacturers' seats it seems a good value for money. Apparently it is being used in about 20 % of all vehicles tested by Euroncap as well and has been showing very good results there. And of...

    Multitech as a high-back booster until 36 kg?

    I am thinking Multitech is exactly the same as Evolva 123. Its head support can probably extend as much as Evolva's. Then, is the weight of the Multitech the only thing that is preventing it to be used until 36 kg. as a booster? This quotation below is from a different thread, that is closed now...

    Please check my TWE installation

    Hello everyone, I am using a TWE in a Land Rover Discovery 3. The buckles are very awkward and move forward no matter how further back I push the vehicle's seat. The result is that the buckle's tongue is pressing heavily on the bottom of the child seat (please see the attached picture). Do you...

    Question Are the lay flat systems as safe as infant carriers?

    I saw this crash-test video of Britax Baby-Safe Sleeper and was wondering if it shows that the system is safe at least as much as the traditional infant carriers? YouTube - Romer Baby-Safe Sleeper crash-test, top view The only crash test I was able to find is a side impact one and I was...

    Transportation damage=impact damage?

    Hello, Just wondering- if the seat has been visibly damaged during transportation or delivery - for example broken polystyrene, isn't there also a chance it had received miniature cracks if handled poorly, just like it may get in even minor incidents? If that is possible why the manufacturers...

    Question Is this a sound advice for a tilted RF convertible?

    Hey, Probably many of you have encountered the issue with the Britax convertibles when installed RF with 2 lock-offs how the seat is tilted towards the buckle. I was reviewing RF installation videos and stumbled upon this one: YouTube - Adv70 rf install.mp4 The way the woman fixes the...

    How to effectively tighten the straps of the swedish seats?

    Hello, I don't know if other owners of Swedish seats have encountered this issue, but the back straps are really difficult to tighten even when putting your entire weight on them. The result is, a bit loose straps and a seat that is not rock solid. To resolve this issue I first pressed them...

    Warning- Two way elite side tongues

    Hello- Just saw that there was possibly something wrong with both my two way elites. The one is a couple of months old and the other is brand new. Took the covers off and noticed that the so called 'tongues' in the manual are threaded differently from one another and from the picture in the...

    Question RF installation and front seat

    Hello, I was wondering if when installed RF the new Britax convertibles should lean against the front seat for added stability as it is recommended for the European RF seats for example?

    Question Is the car fit list a comprehensive guide

    Hello. I was thinking if I can get the car seat tight and secure is it a problem if it's not on the car seat list. I am considering the Britax TWE or Multitech and a Ford Kuga. This ford is not on the car seat list of both the seats. Can I still use them or there are other factors apart from the...

    Besafe Izi Combi X3 Isofix- any thoughts?

    Hi, I am considering buying this seat- even went and tested it in my car, and even though it was on the compatibility list, neither I nor the salesperson managed to get a real tight fit. I mean it's well fitted with Isofix and support leg, it is leaning on the front seat, but somehow when...

    Question How to lower the angle when installing a convertible child seat RF?

    Hello everyone. Whatever suggestions you may have will be very much appreciated. I have a Land Rover LR3 and a Britax convertible and the problem is that when I install it RF, since the vehicle seats are quite flat the recline angle increases, if I measure it correctly, to 41-43 degrees. This...

    Question Are European seats really safer than US?

    I am from Europe and I just ordered my second American child seat, because here a) as soon as the child is 24 pound they have to go FF b) as soon as the child is 40 pound they have to sit using 3 point seat belts I didn't like that and though even there are rumors that European standards are...

    Question Can you place a child using the 3 point seat of a child seat belt and engage the lock off feature

    Hello, I've been thinking about increasing security with a 3 point seat belt- we've all been hearing horror stories of when children in a booster have been killed because of a failed 3 point seat belt. My idea is, if the car has it, to engage the lock off feature and avoid the chance of a seat...

    Question Using lock offs and locking seat belt system

    Hello, I have a Britax Advocate 70 CS and in its manual it says that if the vehicle has a seat belt that includes a locking feature the use of the child seat's lock offs is not required. However, by using them I think I am able to achieve a better fit. My child is over 40 lb now and I don't...
