Yea Steve, I think I read somewhere that Recaro make more money from baby seats than any other product segment. Do a search on Yahoo Auctions Japan for 'recaro' and you'll find four times as many listings for baby seats than anything else.

lol, waits for lee (hotwire) to see this

 

[Hipsi]

no way, Hipsi Jr needs one of these, now I just need to find an Arai helmet that'll fit him......

 

[dimi_108]

Hmmm around $500! Maybe i'll get one when i have a kid. But the little bastad be doing poo's and shit in the Recaro seat ARGH

 

[Hipsi]

we paid close to that for our baby seat, if only I'd known about these recaro ones.....

 

[Hotwire]

you.... bastard.... now i'm going to be $500 poorer....

Seriously doubt it would meet Australian Standards, but looks cool none the less.. wonder if there is an Australian released version....

 

[Guest]

$500 for a baby seat these days isnt all that expensive. We sell them at work for around that price depending on the model.

found them in the US.....killer postage cost mind you!

For those seriously interested, they're NOT built to Australian standards. But that doesn't mean they're not good - it just means Recaro have never sold them in Australia, making our standards utterly irrelevant. Its probably quite an inhibitor to them ever selling them here - why subject yourself to the most stringent, nit-picking rules in the world for a market less than twice the size of the population of a single Japanese city?

Recaro actually do have australian released child restraints as outlined here: http://www.idealseat.com.au/html/overview_child.html

And a high chair! LOL

 

[Guest]

^^ lol, someones seriously tempted to get one for little locky!

 

[SiliconAngel]

Damnit Lee, stop making me look bad!

Although they do have this on their site:

Child restraints not yet available in Australia.
Please email us to be placed on the waiting list for updates

 

[dimi_108]

Haha and while you're at it why not get yourself one too

 

[SiliconAngel]

I shudder to think how much those would be...

 

[Guest]

jesus! look at the padding for your arse compared to the back!

 

[J-B]

You can do it the cheap way like i did, I was being lazy about putting the seats in my car so i made my own desk chair instead

 

[Guest]

Anyone though of retriming there baby seat to look like the VR4 Recaros? Ive put it past my girl for when we have a kid but she keeps shutting me down.
