Re the rattling Römer: we had a squeaky Britax/Römer and upon investigation is was the hinge that connects the seat base to the back upright. Ours had that hinge re-tensioned and oiled (so the shop said) from where we purchased the seat, who were incidentally an official Britax/Römer agent and had a servicing facility. We had to leave it with them for the day but they lent us a B/R child seat in the meantime. Perhaps you could be experiencing the same problem

On ours it appears to be the mechanism which extends the locking arms the source of the rattle. I don't think it's a big problem anyways.

I bought it not from this country so I might have a detailed look at it someday, but as it works perfectly with my daughter on it I don't bother fiddling with it. 2010 Freelander 2 Select TD4 auto....gone

Ensuring the safety of our children while in the car must alwasy be considered.I have read a while ago a good article entitled Half of booster seats unsafe says insurance group.It says that this year's child booster seats study by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety discovered that up half of tested child booster car seats aren't up to safety specifications. The tests show around half of the seats made the seat belt not fit properly. This increases the possibility of injury if not altered to fit correctly.Thus, we should really be extra cautious in preventing untoward car accidents.

Got my new Britax B-SAFE from car seat comparison website for my LR2 compared it with various car seats available online....

We have a superb "Bebe Confort Iseos" Isofix seat for use when our new grandson visits. Really impressive, solid fit to the car without use of the seatbelts. Way better fit than the old Britax we had for our kids back in the 70's!  10MY (Sept 09) TD4 HSE Auto in Stornoway Grey (Now Gone)
