Aww that was really nice of you taking pictures Lena - thank you! I started this thread almost exactly a year ago I think! Wow how far things have come, I actually have two Swedish seats of my own now though. I love your pictures. Would it be ok if I put them on my website at some point?
What do you think of your car seat? I'm trying to decide what Swedish seat I'll get next.

Hi,
Yes, you can put them on your website. Will you give the link to your site??
It is like the Britax Regent - installing it is difficult the first time. But when you get the hang of it...... piece of cake!
The car is a Peugeot 307SW (minivan). We have plenty of legroom on the front passenger side of the car.
On the day we got the seat. Mathias was in a CRAP mood all the home from Sweden (1½ hour drive that felt like 6 hours)
These photos were taken right after we came home:

Darn it. Can't decide if I want a Multi-Tech or a Two-Way.

The Two-Way will probably be a lot cheaper I'd imagine it's so darn plain lol.
Does anyone (Lena?) know how much the Multi-tech is?

I LOVE that green in the seat! And I'd totally import it if it came with the cute baby!
As an aside, the more I've been researching, the more it seems that bracing (i.e. that foot) is really the way to go if you're going to RF tether. Why don't they put on a foot in North America? It seems we're doing is half-bummed here with just the tether portion. The only way we can brace is to rely on the seat in front which might also move forward in an accident and not brace as well as we think. I want a foot!

I have two different Swedish seats, neither of them have a foot.

Well I certainly think it is. I'd love a "foot" though but they're only any good if you have a head on frontal crash with another vehicle, I think.

No idea on the price, I never heard a definate answer back. Lenats, if you see this, how much is the Multi-Tech? I'm not 100% sure if I want the foot, that's what's throwing me. Eh, I figure I got another year before it's vital that I figure something out.

Not Lena (hiya my illegal carseat buddy! ) but,
The Two-way is cheaper than the Multi-tech. It will also last longer. The multi tech's back is maybe a little taller, but you can't use it till the tips of their ears are even with the shell because at that point their shoulders would be squished up under the wings. Thats just the conclusion I've come to anyways. I'm getting a Two-way over the multi tech for that reason
The multi-tech is 3500 SEK which is about $583
The Two-way is 2495 SEK so about $415. but I guess the TW is being discontinued, so you can find it on sale (1709 SEK ~$284) is what I was told.

minismom-
A friend of ours is going to Stockhom this week and getting my Two-Way while he's there. I can let you know where he gets it, but I know Babyproffsen has it (www.babyproffsen.se), and Lena got hers at Babyland (www.babyland.se)

LOL! Thats just what someone on the norwegian carseat board told me. I guess a salesperson at the store she got it from had a britax rep tell her it was being discontinued in favor of the multi tech. I'll see what my friend comes back with...I told him to try babyproffsen first because that's where they were supposedly on clearance.

I don´t know which one is better than the other heightwise. The MT has a height adjustable headsupport, which grows above the MT restraint shell. It is completely level with the restraint shell in the lowest slot. The child has outgrown the seat when the tips of the ears are level with the top of the head support in the top slot. The integrated 5-point harness "grows" with the head support. So you will not have to remove the restraint from the car in order to adjust it.
Mathias is 10 months old, his height was meassured to 77 cm at 8 months old. I think he is just over 80 cm now. He is in lowest slot and still as room to grow in that slot.
Price-wise: The Two-Way is cheaper than the MT.
Divide the CM numbers by 2.54, and you´ll have his height in inches.
MT head support in the top slot:
Sideview:
I think, the "downside" of these restraints is that, they are not as easy to move from one car to another as other restraints are. Not even, when you "know" the seats really well.
One more thing to remember is that the These Scandinavian rearfacing restraints MUST NOT rest on the front seat. They CAN touch it, but just barely. The best thing is to install the restraints on a 10 millimeter/1 cm distance from the front seat, which can be done easierly.
These stores sell the Britax seats:
http://www.britax.se/aflista.htm#S
The MT retails for 3500 SEK in Sweden and about 3000-3200 NOK in Norway
Aaaaannnnndddd if any of you THOUGHT you saw a Regent in Madison next to the MT in the photos. WELL, this is what ILUVBABIES means by calling me "illigal car seat buddy" - really cool carseat HE HE! Europe has crappy booster seats. Only ONE has an integrated 5-point harness to 80 lbs/36 kg. Britax Traveller Plus, which is the same seat as the Regent only with a head support pillow and a much much higher retail price.
