I have an acquaintance who is living in Germany and expecting her first baby. I was thinking I could send her some links which might get her thinking about possibly bringing a car seat over from the US or picking one up from Sweden when her babe gets too big to RF in any of the German seats (if I understand correctly, they're all designed to RF a kid to about age 9 months or so, right?).
Especially since I know very little about car seats in Europe and, even if I did, I wouldn't want to come off as a know-it-all, I thought maybe I'd just send her some links... surely there are people in Europe (outside of Sweden) who advocate ERF (at least, beyond 9 months). I know there's a FB group about it in Australia. Does anybody have any good resources I could point her to that would be relevant to Germany? It doesn't necessarily have to be in English. She speaks Russian and German as well.
Or should I just suggest she come over here and ask her own questions?
