He thread discussing eps, epp, & protect air made me wonder. What seats have EPP?

Offhand? upper end Evenflo (EFTA, Symphony...), next gen Britax convertibles, True Fit

I think maybe AOE, but not sure if it's all models.

I think Britax new generation seats have it, I was reading on their site briefly and they just say 'foam', maybe to encompass the 'classic' models with EPS?

Next Gen Britax (classic seats have EPS) have EPP
Dorel seats have EPP

The MyRide, TrueFit and EFTA definitely have EPS, not EPP.

The EFTA has EPP. Maybe it's just the TFP and TFR that are EPP, but The First Years' site clearly states EPP on those models.

Somebody with a TFP or TFR needs to check.

Now I'm not sure about the EFTA. EPS foam is usually white, and EPP is usually black. The EFTA's foam is black, but there was a definite, non-rebounding dent from the seat belt in DN's seat. EPP is supposed to rebound but EPS does not.

The momentum does. It covers the entire seat too, not just the head area.

Right, but they likely got their info from the website, which it seems may be wrong. That looks exactly like my TF, which is definitely EPS foam, not EPP.

Not sure about the regular triumph advance, but according to Evenflo's site ( http://www.evenflo.com/product.aspx?id=317&pfid=3704 ), the triumph65 says "EPP, energy absorbing foam liner"
