Phil & Ted carseats, have we talked about this?

Thoughts?

crunchierthanthou · Sep 21, 2008

is there a weight range listed anywhere? The gray photo must be from the UK version. It doesn't appear to have a chest clip and has very Euro looking harness covers.

The three progressively wider harness positions look good.

And it'll end all those questions about which seats you can use with a P&T.

I'm just confused. Is this a new seat? You can't see the straps or anything. I'm not sure about it.

thepeach80 · Sep 21, 2008

I'm pretty sure it's new, but I'd never heard anything about it and I sometimes miss threads here. I thought I'd mention it to see if it had been brought up before. It just looks like it's missing something to me.

It says it's out of stock so maybe it's still in the works? I found this http://www.pointshop.com/Mall/Catalog/Product/ASP/product-id/36883001/store-id/1000045813.html which is all European measurements, goes to about 13kg etc.

And it says it has Iso fix latch system. That's euro too, right?

Here's a link to the seat at P&T's: http://www.philandteds.com/nz/drive_bebe-v_08_1.htm

bebe - v
weight: 2kg/4.4lbs (6.3kg with base)
fabric: tough, washable & waterproof
age: newborn to 9 months (height
48cm-74cm)
group: 0-1
max load: 10kg/22lbs
fabric colours: red & black

Got to love those strict NZ safety laws...

looks neat, I love their strollers. But I gotta say, the car seat looks really freaky when it's attached to the stroller, it looks like it's floating..

The UK stats say 13kg, which is 28+ lbs. Lets hope it's closer to that.

If the 4.4lbs is correct, that's by far the lightest bucket. I think the Combi is second at ~7.

Awwww now come one guys, don't pick on us little ole NZers!! :

Seriously though, in NZ where P+T are based, we don't have our own standard, we accept Australian standard, European, and US under SOME circumstances... (don't ask... it makes very little sense to me... my Britax Frontier is illegal for use in NZ, yet I could use a cosco scenera if I wanted to... sigh, who understands the logic behind some of this...)

thepeach80 · Sep 22, 2008

So do you guys have this seat there? Any thoughts? I'd never seen it before and I can't decide if it's trying to come here or if they're just showing it's out there and you can illegally import it here?

kmcenery · Sep 22, 2008

I have never seen them but I have seen them one the phil and teds website for 20 mos (I have seen them their from the time I had my daughter) but this is the first time I have seen them for the us. I use my safe seat on my sport buggy as a double.

LuvMyGirls · Sep 22, 2008

Those are only for birth to 9 mths. Did you see the TOTT and TOTTxt on that website? It's for 9 mths - 11 years in a forward only seat that converts to a backless booster.

No, I don't think we have it here yet. The P&T capsules currently available in NZ are different to that pic. If you are interested in it, it says it's certified to FMV SS213 - so I guess you could use it legally if you liked it?

capeKO71 · Sep 22, 2008

It says "January 2009"... and knowing P&T... and their current state of affairs with recalls, I wouldn't be surprised if this is bumped out even further...

I also wouldn't be surprised if when it does get released, it's another US seat with P&T fabric on it... vs. what we're seeing right now on the site...

barnmama25 · Sep 23, 2008

removed per boards rules. email me for pics if you are interested.

Those look like Safety Baby/Nania seats.

thepeach80 · Sep 23, 2008

Thanks for the pic! I love the insanely safe tag on it, lol!

crunchierthanthou · Sep 23, 2008

barnmama- did the person whose pic you snagged have any other info?

barnmama25 · Sep 23, 2008

Not yet, sorry it looks like this picture wasnt even supossed to be on the internet!! It will be released in 2009. But it really isnt my fault that whoever the publisher is doesnt have their pictures password protected (seriously these pictures were an EASY find on the internet)

This board frowns on the posting of pictures that don't belong to the posters though.

I'd suggest removing it from your post.

Phil & Ted carseats, have we talked about this?
