That is one expensive car seat! I did the currency conversion and it's $554.28!!
But it does RF to 55 lbs.

I do like those covers. Now why can't Graco put those on American seats?

Wait, Graco makes 55lb RFing seats, too? I thought Britax were the only ones!

Graco does too... This one was installed FFing:(. I think they might have moved here recently bc the car was used but with new plates.

Graco has amazing ERF seats outside the US. I've long coveted an Akta DuoLogic. I have a friend in Ireland with one and she likes to tease me with it.

Wow that's much nicer than the ratty T shield that was parked next to me at the grocery store yesterday. I left a note on the vehicle to say it is expired and dangerous and directed them here :)

I guess I don't understand why their Euro high-weight RF seats are so trim and the US ones are huge and bulky. Why can't they use the same designs?

I wish our seats were like that. 55lbs RF would be amazing. Maybe by the time I have kids, there will be. Here's to hoping. :whistle:

Two words; foot prop. Until we get a newer crash sled they can't even test the seats here :(
Give a few more years though. The demand for better RF seats is growing. The change in the two plus years since I joined here has been amazing.

Yeah and also they can be used until the ears are even with the shell, whereas we lose a lot of torso room with the 1 inch rule. :(. I bet a ton of kids could still RF if it wasn't for that inch rule.

This is my new "have to play with" seat. Sadly Swedish seats are very hard to come by in Germany. I have yet to find one.

I NEED that seat. Who do we petition to add a floor to the crash test sled? Yes, just so I can have that seat by the time I have my own kids, lol. (It's so awesome I'd be sorely tempted to import.)
