Recaro Polaric in a ford S-Max? And a couple of ERF questions

Does anyone know whether thay are compatible? I need to buy another car seat - I currently have a Besafe Izi (storage compartments filled, but I still have a slight niggle about this).

I can't work out whether is has a support leg or not, and if it does, whether it misses the underfloor storage, or is long enough to reach the bottom? I have seen that it is on the vehicle list according to the instructions (read online) but would rather first-hand experience.

Also,

Does the Brio Zento come in isofix version (to make fitting sure)

Can constant strains on cars seats affect them?? I also have a Britax TWE, but to make the seat firm, the seat belt is pulled so tightI worry that the strain will be bad for the seat in future.

Thanks

I think it does have a support leg, but it looks, by the angle, as if it might miss the storageboxes...

The Recaro does have a support leg. Personally I wouldn't fill my storage box with any thing non approved, unless ford now make one for the s-max. My friend went to in car safety and tried the trio fix in her c-max and it actually missed, it may be worth a try!!

It's definitely approved, but they just seem a bit 'sparse'. The VW filler is a solid foam block, the Ford one is like an 'H' shape ( sort of) with holes in.

What's the Triofixlike?

It's pretty small I think, by what she was telling me the leg comes flush down the seat, but it doesn't recline, that's her only problem with it!
