I just LOVE the German booster's so I have decided to save up for one for Johnathon.
I am torn between 2.
It will be a while before I get it since they are about 150 Euro or about $200.

Romer KidFix with rigid latch

Storchenmuhle Ipai Seatfix I believe it also has rigid latch..

As of now I am leaning toward the 2nd seat, but I jsut don't know..
they both booster to 80lbs, but he is only 43-45lba now at 6....

Then 2nd one looks really nice! how much growing room height wise does he have in each of them? The first just looks like a britax monarch (pretty sure it IS just a monarch...lol!)

Well I didnt really pull the headrest up on them so I don't have a clue. LOL. Seth was running away as I was taking pics.
I will have to determine that before buying.

Yeah the first is pretty much the monarch. The 2 differences is that 1-this one is still being produced meaning I will get a newer DOM and 2-This one has rigid Latch which I like.

I am guess this seats go high since the law is booster to 12 or 4' 11".

I like the first one but they both look good. But can I just tell you, WOW, he is so GORGEOUS. You're gonna have a heartbreaker on your hands in a few years, lol.

Looking at them again it looks like the first one has better leg support. It could be partly the way he's sitting but it really looks like the bottom one is shallower to me.

Could you measure both at the highest setting, if you go again? I am curious. I actually like the first better.

Yep. I plan on going again when Seth is either sleeping or in a better mood. He has a double ear infection so he was so moodyt hat day I didn't get to do half of what I wanted to do.

I am going back out there in 3-4 wks when he goes to see the ENT again. I will get measurments then.

The head wings on the first one look kind of restrictive. He might always be leaning forward to see around them. For that reason, I'd probably go with the 2nd one. I'm jealous, btw!

Only be jealous for the boosters. LOL. The other seats are not all that great...
