I'm sure someone here has heard of it or seen it (I'm probably the last to see it, lol).

Why can't we have videos to show how to install seats!
I find it interesting that here we are very against side facing seats except for preemies that MUST be in car beds, but it seems they are fine with it and even encourage it for newborns. Anyone know why?
:scratcheshead::question:Boy oh boy that seat confused meeee? What is that for? Premature babies and for term babies? Is it saying that you can use it as a car-bed for term babies as well?
yep. the crash test videos of that thing (or a previous model of it) with it set up like a car bed are horrific.

Not quite the same thing, but this one also allows babies to lie completely flat. (Though it appears to install rear-facing, not side-facing.) Someone called my co-worker the other day and wanted her to help her install it (she had bought it while living in Europe). Co-worker told her good luck finding a tech to help you.
Is lying flat a common feature of European infant seats?

Yk , my nephew had a car bed as an infant. It was on Swing, and it rotated either flat or into a V shaped seat that held them more upright. It cost a pretty penny in a boutique in 1996, and my SIL put her newborns in it as a carbed. It strapped in sideways.
Anybody remember what I'm talking about?
I've seen that video before - where is the harness? The dummy doesn't appear to be harnessed. If you look, you can even see the slot for the crotch strap after the dummy is practically ejected from the seat, and it's empty.
It also doesn't appear to be correctly installed. Look at the seat belts - they're not even close to tight before the crash.
Hmm yeah. It laid flat as a carbed too?
If you look at the OP's video, they show the kid in the car with it like a car bed with just that belly belt thing. I'm not sure if thats how its supposed to be or not...I'm trying to find a manual for the thing online!
ETA I found the manual for the Matrix Pro which I think is the previous model of this seat. And in car bed mode, you strap them in with that belly belt thing and thats it! You use the regular harness when its upright and rear facing. yikes.
But I tell ya, I would NOT want to have to install that every time I put baby in the car. No base? I wonder if infant seats in the UK generally don't have bases.
