I have been asked by our head CPST at work to ask on here for information regarding both the Britax MultiTech and the Britax 2WayPlus (?)
Here is the scenario: One of our firefighters/techs had a grandson (she is primary caretaker) who is significantly special needs. At 18 months and nearing 30 lbs, the child cannot hold his head up or swallow. He needs to be suctioned approximately every 15 minutes around the clock. The child needs to remain rear facing and reclined for as long as any seat anywhere allows. She is familiar with NHTSA and importing and using foreign seats, and because of the child's medical needs, has elected to get information of the longest possible RFing seats out there. They are familiar with the Graco MyRide coming out, but the child's condition is not going to change and he would outgrow it too soon. Their only other option would be a reclined wheelchair and a wheelchair van- a little more $$$$ than just getting a foreign seat for a few years.
Anyway- if anyone can tell me anything about either of these two seats I would appreciate it and be able to pass it along. Please don't flame- This is a difficult situation and she is wanting to do whatever works best for the child. She is familiar with the risks and legalities, and just requesting information. As it is now she only leaves the house to go to and from doctor's visits. Thanks so much.
