    Honestly get this stuff off gumtree.

    I sold two for $75 bucks total and they were 2 years old, looked brand spanking new too. Bought them for probably $350 each lol.

    Don't fall for the first time parent money sink trap.

    • RichardF89 on 10/03/2022 - 22:12

      just checked gumtree $250 for a not very new one

        Yeah I get ya, been there. Its what I did too but it's a huge waste looking back. Hindsight is 20/20.

        These things need crash indicators to stop this waste.

            @Lois Price: A fool and their money are easily parted.

            At least with buying used from a reliable person you can have faith that the product has been tested to work for the past X years.

            It's a coward/anti bargain idea to resort to statements like, 'i value my kids more than you' to imply you're somehow a better parent for spending money on new stuff. You might beat your kids for all we know and they'd grow up to be terrible people, yet you buy them 'new' stuff.

            • Lois Price on 11/03/2022 - 11:02

              @eddyah: I will never, ever by a car seat for my kids from a stranger.

              I didn’t say I value my kids more than anyone. I said I value their safety differently. I need to keep them safe until I can harvest their organs and sell them on the dark web.

                @Lois Price: I like your angle. But honestly, it's blow mould plastic, styrofoam and nylon belts.

                What wizardry do people think happens when someone sells one second hand?

                To me its the equivalent of replacing your tyres, steering wheel and all seats every time you put your car on the road…'just in case' .. FFS!

                Will eat into your darkweb margins…

                  @tunzafun001: Not alleging any sorcery for secondhand seats. I agree they may be in perfectly fine working order. And even if not, I’ll hopefully be lucky that I or my kids carer are never in an accident when the kids are also in the car. Those odds are pretty good I reckon.

                  But I cannot be certain of all of those things buying second hand from someone I do not know (and in the later case, at all) hence why I’d personally buy a new one for my own piece of mind (I’m an anxious person). And disagree with the analogy - think it’s hyperbole, but hey.

                  Btw, stay in touch peeps - I’ll have 6 second hand of these to flog in a couple of years. Mention this thread and I’ll cut you a deal.

      • whitepuma on 11/03/2022 - 08:36

        What safety difference is there between a good condition 2nd hand one and a brand new one? these things don't expire…..

        i'm not saying don't spend money on the kids, i'm just saying i'd prefer to save the money (especially when there is no difference in quality) and divert that money to other places for my kids…..

        • tunzafun001 on 11/03/2022 - 11:16
          +1

          They kinda do expire. There's a date stamp on the side. They say 10 years (since it's all plastic and foam) and may deteriorate if in full sun the whole time.

          But I've picked up 2 seats via hard rubbish, and the condition was perfect. No cracks in plastic or foam, belts not frayed or mouldy. 4 - 9 years old. Chucked the covers in the wash…happy days.

          • whitepuma on 11/03/2022 - 11:35

            @tunzafun001: yeah….in all honesty, i reckon that date stamp and the deterioration of the plastics and foams is very unlikely, only really the case if you are leaving it outside or treating it REALLY poorly (like beyond what is typical use). The first thing to go bad would be the fabric…..if the fabric's bad then it falls out of the category of "good condition 2nd hand" that i mentioned and as a result probably not a good purchase then. but i also think that date stamp is a bit of a BS that the company would put on to try and convince you to always buy new…..remember, they don't earn anything from you for buying new.

            Don't get me wrong, i like that many people buy these things brand new….if nobody buys it brand new then i wouldn't be able to buy it off them for significantly cheaper 2nd hand. I just don't like the misconception that 2nd hand means unsafe…

            • Ny911 on 15/03/2022 - 12:38

              @whitepuma: Yes, child restraints and baby capsules are built to last a long time, but shouldn’t be used indefinitely. For a start, much like cars, child seats are constantly improving in both construction and safety. A child seat from say 5-10 years ago simply isn’t going to be as good, or as well designed, as a new one.

              The deterioration happens and may not be visually evident. The structural integrity, plastics and impact foams in the seat aren’t going to be as robust as they were when the restraint was new, partly because they've been cooked each summer. Harnesses and tethers can also stretch, fray or weaken over that period of time.

              Restraints are designed to perform one time in a crash situation. How will you know if you don't even know the person selling it? (There may be internal stress fractures that you can't visually see)

              How do you know that particular seat hasn't had any safety recalls?

      It’s not worth using 2nd hand ones unless you’re absolutely sure of its history. They aren’t supposed to be reused after a major crash even if it looks fine and you would never know if you get one off a stranger.

      • Kammi on 10/03/2022 - 23:59

        💯 agree

        I'd suggest to have a chat to the parent and also check their gumtree ads e.g. flogging multiple car seats or lots of baby/toddler gear. See what u can suss out.

        Its your coin. I totally didnt hold back buying my 3 kids new stuff to fit out not just my cars but the inlaws/my parents for drop off etc. Didnt get anything close to what I paid for lol.

        Obviously do ur homework but I wouldn't write it off.

      • nish101 on 11/03/2022 - 01:53

        If it's been in a crash, I have heard the company offers to replace the car-seat with a new one free of cost so they can analyse the old car-seat. Haven't had to test this out though (thankfully)

        • tunzafun001 on 11/03/2022 - 11:20

          Good way to perpetuate a highly valuable myth!

          Again, plastic, nylon and styrofoam.

          If it's a major crash, there maybe evidence of cracking. But people replace seats after minor bumper taps. Yet don't replace the actual car seats, tyres, steering wheel, seat belts etc …which should follow the same logic.

  • DKZ370 on 10/03/2022 - 22:15

    Does anyone know if this is ISOFIX?
    Tried searching online, can't seem to find confirmation.

      Nopes, most front facing aren't isofix.

      • Kammi on 10/03/2022 - 23:53

        You're going to have to spend big, I had the Britax platinum Pro sict & platinum sict which were isofix front facing seats

    • Lois Price on 10/03/2022 - 22:18

      Booster seats cannot be isofix. This is secured by seatbelt.

    • Sleepycat3 on 10/03/2022 - 22:21
      +3

      No it's not. From the explanation that I was given, only 0-4 year old seats which are rear to front facing convertible come in Isofix. This one is a 6 month to 8 year seat, so it doesn't use Isofix because it is not able to cope with the weight of an 8 year old.

  • Awesomandy on 10/03/2022 - 22:20

    What’s the difference between this and the non-pro version?

  • nedski on 10/03/2022 - 22:22

    According to childcarseats.com.au, this model only gets 1.9 out of 5 for protection rating.

      Most rate 1.9.

      You really need to understand the ratings method to use that site.

      First of all, boosters have different tests. Because of this they rate higher but are less safe. Fundamentally it's obvious: harnessed is more restrained than booster, i.e. less excursion. Don't touch a booster until your child is too big for anything else.

      For other seats: the test dummy changes. A 0-4 seat used a 4yo sized dummy in front facing tests (and, not sure if right, a 12 month dummy in rear facing tests). Whereas a 0-8 seat uses an 8 year sized old dummy. Obviously the bigger dummy is harder to restrain.

      Historically, some clueless idiot will neg me. Ignore them.

    • whitelie on 11/03/2022 - 12:24

      No model rates higher than 1.9 due to the way they conduct the tests. It's pretty silly really
      A reply from Britax

      Currently there are no Type G Child restraints from any manufacturer that scores more than a 1.9 star rating for performance, despite these seats being engineering and tested with large 10 year old test dummies in very severe crash simulations.

      • Britax Childcare is the only Australian car seat manufacturer with its own crash test facility. Every Britax product is tested to meet internal standards above that of the AS/NZS1754 Standard.

      • It is important to understand that in Australia, it is an ACCC mandatory requirement that manufacturers comply to the AS/NZS 1754:2013 standard. which is confirmed by its independent certification SAI-Global (the 5 tick mark). All seats certified by SAI Global are safe.

      • CREP protocol and test methods are different to AS/NZS 1754 standard and have a unique method of scoring seats as well as continuous protocol changes.

      • Britax is constantly working with CREP to help iron out concerns with their test protocol. One of the issues is most apparent with their assessment of Type G Child restraints as a whole.

      • Unfortunately the CREP protocol does not take into account the many benefits of a 5 point harness in controlling the seating position of kids during crash situations.

      Kind regards, the Britax team.
