Hello,

Does anyone have any experience with the BMW 0+ baby seat? I understand it's expensive, and it would also be a pain for me to get since it's not sold in the U.S. or Canada (probably for the same reason my BMW system helmet isn't sold here either). But I am interested in feedback. Weight, easy of use, comfort durability etc... Also, is it compatible with any strollers, like the Bugaboos? Porsche sells the exact same seat here in the U.S. for ?490!! ($730.00 USD) which is absurd.

Regards,
David

No experience with that particular seat, but my friend has one made by Recaro and it's extremely nice. I wish I had it when I was a baby lol. Much cheaper than $730 as well.

Please read my story but if I were to do it again I wouldn't buy the BMW seat. Its a pointless expensive purchase. The buggy is not sold in the UK and in any case the car seat doesn't fit on to the buggy.

I have the Recaro Young Sport car seat and love it. It's strictly a car seat and it is reasonably priced compared to a Britax. Below is a link to a retailer.
