An almost perfect racket, the product has a low intrinsic cost and a long life - how can we make them obsolete? Kid based FUD is sown all over their web pages and package inserts, and we all love kids - right?

I'm currently buying a new seat for our kid (as she's outgrowing the second-hand one we had before). Even with ISOFIX and i-Size standards in the EU, it's an ordeal. The space is ridiculously overcrowded (just how many variants of a car seat can one make?!), seats themselves are near-impossible to compare against each other, and every site keeps reminding you that your kid's life hangs on your purchase. And then there's car compatibility issue - we just discovered that even though our Xsara Picasso has ISOFIX mount points, it doesn't accept the support leg (because of floor-level storage compartments) and seemingly doesn't have a top tether mounting point either. One has to wonder why they even bothered to add the ISOFIX mounts in the first place. At this point I'd gladly pay $100 or more for some expert to just recommend a safe seat for our car. I already wasted much more than that on research in terms of opportunity cost. (please excuse the rant)

  just take the science out of it, carseat for a kid does nothing more than to rise them to suitable seatbelt height or makes the seatbelt usable for really young kids. Isofix does not have to have a leg etc could be just bars holding the seat at place, thats its only benefit it keeps the object attached to isofix in place in case of a accident. It will not fly around the car as it is attached to it thus provides more safety. At the end if the crash is huge then newtons laws apply a bigger mass will just run everything over, does not matter if it is secured or not you just can't beat a bigger mass.

  Just ask reddit... That’s how I found our car seat. I was looking for safety and fit, but also what people seemed to like the best. Forums are great for stuff like this.
