For those who missed the Safe-N-Sound Sleep-N-Recline ozbargainer, bigW has new markdowns for other car seats.
This Meteor is probably the same as those Infasecure Luxi xxx, but sold exclusive to BigW. Infasecure Luxi is usually sold at $400 at other places, and received good customer review.
This series is one of the highest rated car seat in CREP, for both rear facing (highest) and forward facing (second highest). So at this price I don't need to say more!
I am not a big fan of this 0-8 yr, and I just take it as 0-4. Considering the safety rating as well as its review, it is a no brainer if you are in the market (and still has no idea what should buy).
————description——————-
The Infa-Secure Meteor newborn to eight years child restraint is the only child restraint your child will need covering all 4 stages of child car safety requirements.
Stage 1: 0 - 6 months
Stage 2: 6 months - 2 years
Stage 3: 2 years - 4 years
Stage 4: 4 years - 8 years
VERSATILE
The 0 to 8 is the most versatile of any car seat. Suits the needs of: parents, grandparents, carers, childcare centres, taxi/hire companies, etc. by offering a single solution design.
COMFORT INSERTS
Multi use inserts for baby's comfort and enhanced safety. As baby grows, they are removed, making the 0 to 8 suitable through to eight years old.
COMPACT FOR EASE OF FIT
The compact multi-recline action means the 0 to 8 in rearward facing mode fits most cars comfortably.
FIVE SHOULDER SLOT HEIGHTS
The 0 to 8 features five shoulder slot heights making it suitable for a vast range of different sized children, from premature babies through to most tall or large four year olds. It can then be converted into a booster seat for use through to eight years old.
STRINGENTLY CRASH TESTED
The 0 to 8 is the most extensively tested car seat for compliance in Australia. It was tested with seven configurations of dummies (from newborn to ten years), a total of 39 dynamic crash tests, and it exceeds the most stringent safety standards in the world.
AIR-O-MAX HEAD PROTECTION
The 0 to 8 features an air-filled double skinned headrest, offering an enhanced level of side impact protection.
MULTI-RECLINES
The 0 to 8 has nine recline positions for baby's comfort.
BLOW-MOULDED
The 0 to 8 features integrated blow-moulded technology, designed to absorb the energy generated in a crash, and allows the child's body to cushion into the seat at a reduced force.
LIFETIME WARRANTY
Lifetime warranty on the super strong shell and base.
It's worth noting that the rear facing height markers of this seat are quite low. The Infa Neon (from big w and often on sale for $138/$118 if you get it I baby sale) has much higher RF markers.
CREP needs to be taken with a grain of salt as it tests so little and so late.
