shuey 61 Report post Posted August 30, 2017 Why would you cover Silverstone with Auckland Black wrap? Unless you're trying to hide something maybe. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, mine didn't have top tethers either. The irony being mine had top tether bolt holes and this installed reasonably easy... but mine doesn't have isofix.

Gabe79 410 Report post Posted August 30, 2017 (edited) Just now, Neal said: So you and I know how just how bad these are for getting child seats in and out of. You know... We have 4 child seats (2 per car... It's a pain to move them around) and one of them is a Britax with a clicksafe system that is a breeze to install and move around. It costs $500ish, but that is the seat to get if your kid is forward facing and happy. I'll find a link. Trivial to install correctly and safely. EDIT: It's "Clicktight" and this is the seat https://www.babyonthemove.co.nz/car-seat/shop-by-weight/9-40kg/britax-frontier-click-tight It's worth every penny and installs solid tight unmoving on any car we've tried so far. ALR seatbelts not required, nor messing with the damn clips. Edited August 30, 2017 by Gabe79 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It will be interesting to see how high the price goes on this one, and if it actually sells without and shill bids.. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
