I love my Cybex X-Fix except for the seat depth is a little short for my leggy kid we might try the Monterey when it really comes time to booster but for now she is totally happy in the FR85.

We only have 2 boosters, a PWSGL & a Vivo.
The PW is fine/OK, I really love the Vivo (the only thing that might make it better is a slightly deeper seat and being latchable).
We haven't tried them yet, but I'm excited to see how our Frontiers work as boosters (will probably be almost a year before we switch them though).

We've only ever had the Oobr and dd likes it fine. I give her a footrest for long trips but she's never had any problems around town. FWIW, I also have her a footrest on long trips in the Frontier in booster mode.

When is the Affix coming out?

I have a Kiddy Cruiserfix coming next week. I hope it's good.
We only have the Oobr. I must say it needs more depth, and SIP that fits larger kids. The sidewings are not all that deep. I do like it overall.
Oh, we also have the Prosport in booster mode, latched. I love it but the headrest only goes so high. I like to get the belt really close to the neck. But the side wings are awesome and deep!
I wish the Oobr and Recaro could merge.

I'm not really excited about the Affix because if it's really just a turbo with latch...meh. I'd get a Safety Surround with Latch though.
I want to try the Kiddy one too, part of my problem is that my van seat belts really suck for boosters. I tried the FR85 as a booster in there and the belt wasn't even retracting at all DD even noticed something was wrong and she's only 5!

DA you have a Grand Caravan or Town and country? I have heard the Kiddy works well, but havent tried it myself. The only thing I have gotten to work is Evenflo boosters or Nautilus in HBB mode

Yup, grand caravan 2010
The Cybex X-Fix actually works well, the belt retracts normally. But its very shallow seat is not good for my leggy kid, and she's only 5! I had a box for her to use as support for her feet but she's just more comfortable in the Frontier and she will fit in it (harnessed) for quite a while yet so heck maybe there will even be something brand new by the time she NEEDS to be boostered full time.
The Affix is avail for sale at my TRU/BRU. They had the display seat and at least one box when I was there about 1.5 wks ago. I didn't try to buy it though.
I haven't seen it anywhere else yet.

I love the install with the Oobr too...just wish the seat were deeper.

My all time favorite latchable booster would be the Jane Indy Plus-truly a great seat. Good seat depth, belt placement, adjustable wings. Just awesome. Ours was defective, however, and not replaceable because they're no longer sold in the US. We replaced it with the...
Oobr, which is okay in comparison to the Indy. The seat is hard, and shallow, but it's easy to install and the belt placement is good.
We also have a Monterey, but with the headrest issues, I became a bit wary. My dd also outgrew it, and has nearly outgrown the Oobr.

Do they sell the Jane Indy Plus in Europe?

Skjp Monterey. We've tried the Oobr and SGL, too. I haven't tried the Diono version, but I'm glad to see they've adjusted the shoulder belt guides.
I'm intrigued by the Peg one, and bummed that the Orbit one never made it to market. I'd probably try the Peg if I were shopping for one. The Graco Affix would be worth a look, too. The only reason we bought a Monterey instead of using the turbo we already had was that we were terrible at remembering to rebuckle. Although, a new Hbb is a few years off for us. Ds is officially backless as of this weekend.

Yes, the Jane seats are available in the UK. Not sure about the rest of Europe.
Here's a link to their website: http://www.janecarseat.co.uk/
The Indy Plus was/is just like the Montecarlo Plus.

I've had the Oobr for a few years now and all my kids love it and fit great. My dd1 is close to outgrowing it but still uses it for long car rides
