Something for parents
Just thought id post this up in case someone else
who has kids was looking for a kool kids booster seat. Just bought my daughter a RECARO Vivo booster seat and it looks awesome and the quality is top notch. It comes with an aluminium frame and has side impact protection, has 3 reclining positions, adjustable height for head rest and micro fibre material. Its got "EU" standards which is better than AUS standards but this seat is not available in OZ so i had to get it OS. Here it is: Really wanted to get the SPARCO "Wing Man" Carbon fibre kids seat to match the CF seats in the 204 but after seeing the price of $4k US i quickly had a re-think I really wanted the "Carbon" colour but apparently they are now discontinued which is stupid as it's the best colour of the lot, so i settled for the "Midnight Desert". Not often i get excited about buying these kind of things but this is quite kool. PM me if you want some details. Wayno

Yeah i know, thats why i got it from OS.
Quite a few people from some Honda forums are using them over east and nothing but good praise for them. Stupid really because you should see half the shit that target/kmart sell, all they are is crappy esky foam seats and also little base seats with no back or side protection at all. Like this one: This looks highly dangerous but meets the stupid aust standards.

Well they are meant to have the AUS/NZ standards sticker on it...
ie. It really sux because im sure euro standards are still 10 years ahead from OZ.. but maybe we'll catch up eventually!

i agree, its quite obvious that these seats are of higher standard than the run-of-the-mill kmart offerings... pity how a sticker decides the standard...
is there a way to get the seats certified? ie take them into dpi or something? surely there must be a way for getting new products approved :s |

for stringent testing before AUST STD's will give it approval.
