Assuming you could get the seat brought to the US and since we're hypothetical you got a very could deal so $ is not an issue. Let's say you went there on vacation and brought one back. Then you got a Swedish person you trust to help translate the instructions so you could install the seat correctly. Or let's say you spoke Swedish yourself. And then you were somehow able to get a rock solid install! Now your 16 month old baby who was already 35lbs can stay RF and be safer. Would you do it?
Now, I realize it's illegal, but what are the chances that if you got pulled over a cop would know the difference and what would happen if you got caught? And if you really got a good install and you really felt it was safer, isn't it worth the risk of getting in trouble? you know, dead baby vs. ticket...
Would it change your oppinion if the child was already 28 months and you just wanted to keep RF?
Let me just make it clear I haven't done any of this but I was just wondering and would like to hear some opinions. Please someone tell me if there's no way you could get a good install (even if maybe in a volvo). but i remember hearing something about being possible to petition the NHTSA to import seats, so it should be possible?? Also, I'm sure none of the techs here would ever tell a parent do to this, since it's illegal and you can't recommend that, but would you do it for your child?
