22 lb @ $300!? Really?

This has got to be a typo, right?

Combi Zeus Turn $299.99
Max child weight - Rear Facing mode 22 lbs.
Min child weight - Forward Facing mode 20 lbs.
Max child weight - Forward facing mode 40 lbs.

If it's not an error, I can't see this product lasting on the market long.

Ahhh, but since the vast majority of US parents barely make it to 1 yr/20lbs before turn around anyway, at least it won't be outgrown in height before the weight limit is met ;)

Looks nice :shrug-shoulders: Too bad about the low rfing limit. :(

I posted a thread on this a little while ago. Someone posted back that it's possible they will amend the RF limit before it's released.

I also hope that the listed harness heights are a mistake. The lowest is 9in and the highest at 13in. Wow, that's a lot of money for a seat that doesn't offer much. Boo to them.

Nope, they aren't going to amend them, it can't pass RF testing with the 34lb 3 yo dummy, so it's really truly only going to rf to 22 :( :( :(

Can they not test any in between weights?
Nope, all they have is dummy sizes of certain ages and sizes to work with..the 9 mo 20 pound sandbag, the 12 mo 22 pound 1 yo, the 34 pound 38 inch 3 yo (and I know Cosco puts a weighted vest on it to get the 35 pound rating, not sure if everyone else is doing that now), the 48/52/weighted 65...um, I'm fuzzy on what size this 6 yo dummy is now, lol..they just changed the rules? He used to just be 48 pounds... I should look that up...

So yeah, if it goes to 22 pounds, then the 22 pound 1 yo is all that 'passed' in it...if it goes to 30 pounds or 33 pounds, then that 34 pounder did fine in it :) (and you're wondering how seats can go to forty FF? the 3 yo does fine in them, then they do mathematical calculations to make sure a 40 pound kid would be fine).

Welcome to your carseat obsession ;)

Maybe I'm making things up, but I swear we were taught seats HAD to rf to at least 30# now in the US?
Nope... just the infant seats have to go to 22, no laws are changed about convertibles. I wouldn't be surprised if there is now that someone had to go against the grain of all the other brands....
