car seats from the US

[thisisyesterday]

I am (prematurely) looking up car seats for when ds2 is out of the britax 2 way elite, and wandered onto the US britax site

why do they not sell seats like this over here????
or this- harnessed to 38.5 kg!

if i were to import one, or something like it, would it be legal to use?

thank you moonbells!!

i was saying this to dp.. that the US seats may well meet/exceed EU safety standards, and IMO it would be up to my insurance company to prove that they didn't if they were claiming it invalidated my insurance.

that looks hopeful!
