My dh is looking at getting a mercedes SL (or SLK, can't remember) roadster. It only has a front seat. From what I've read, Mercedes makes car seats that work with the air bag sensor sytem so that the airbag turns off when the child seat is installed. I know these seats are not legal in the US, but if I can get them and it's the best way to keep my kiddos safe on the rare occassion they are in this car I"m ok with that..
My question is, if my dh buys a used roadster here, is there a way to import one (or two) of these seats and will they work the same way with the airbag sensor here in the US? If anyone knows that would be helpful. And if anyone knows the cost and can help, please pm me.
This would be for my kiddos in the signature. I'd be most interested in the rfing seat for dd. The other two would probably be ok ffing in an american harnessed seat (or booster or RSTV for my oldest) if we had to, but I know rfing is NOT ok with an airbag in any of the seats here.
Here is the only link I could find on them: http://www.driveandstayalive.com/in...les/y_040708_new-child-seats-for-mercedes.htm
Thank you!
