BMW Junior Seat - worth it?

Does anyone have one of these?im looking to buy one for my 11 month old daughter who has outgrown the initial car seat we got for her...I'd like a BMW junior seat but they're impossible to find through the dealer.The local BMW dealer said the contract with Recaro ended and they're not making them anymore.Any info on this is much appreciated..

You don't need a BMW branded child seat IMHO. Probably any other decent brand child seat will do.

Doru I know that.. just the color scheme that comes with these seats is what I likegoes with my lemans blue lol
I wasn't able to find something similar in stores but I guess I'll have to settle for a store brand if the one that I want is nowhere to be found

I don't know how you feel about ebay, but ebay uk has one listed.

BMW Genuine Baby/Child/Kid Safety Junior Car Seat Black/Blue II 82222162883 | eBay

Good luck with your search.

That is pretty sweet. If you cannot find one, I'd just get a "regular" Recaro. I don't have kids, but if I did you can bet they would be bundled up in some Recaros.

Amazon sells a blue Recaro.

http://www.amazon.com/RECARO-ProRIDE...caro+baby+seat

Before buying a Recaro, though, I'd recommend taking a hard look at the new Britax Clicktight seats. They are ridiculously easy to install. Flip open the bottom of the seat, thread the seatbelt through, then close the seat.

Here's one example. The Clicktight feature comes in a few different models and colors.
http://www.amazon.com/Britax-Bouleva...tax+clicktight

Sometimes function beats form.

I opted for the PORSCHE car seat when my kids were small.
