it may be a marketing and/or cost decision of the manufacturer. for them to submit to US testing and to bring a carseat model to market in the US would cost a company a lot of cash. if it is an expensive seat that has a very limited market appeal (how many americans are interested in extended RF and are willing to pay a huge price for it? let's be honest), then the mfr will not sell many in the US and therefore won't make any money by having the carseat approved for sale in the US. market research has shown that americans are not willing to pay as much for their seats as in some other countries (i'm restating what i read here from someone on this point).
Gee, that sounds so familiar...I know instead of extended RF and US replace those words with high weight harnessed seat and Canada.
