Audi Booster seats- Kindersitz Youngster Plus?

[Starman2112]

My kids are outgrowing their current forward facing car seats and ran across these Audi branded Kindersitz 15-36kg booster seats. http://microsites.audi.com/childseats/index.html#

Curious if anyone has used them in an S4 stateside, if so how did you source?

I found some on EU eBay but not sure the isofix system would be compatible with US latch connections. That might not be a bust since LATCH on boosters is more for convienience to keep it in place. The cars belt is used for the actual child restraint.

I looked at getting recaro seats when they were not available stateside. eBay was the easiest to get them here unless you know someone over there that can buy and ship to you. It's nice that recaro has all their seats stateside now, wish that was the case years ago. Not sure if you can find much crash info on the Audi ones. I would go with something that has been proven instead of branding.

Certainly safety / performance over branding.

google translate indicates ECE R 44/04 compliance, which is 50km/h frontal (31.6mph) and 30 km/h rear.

Us federal standards test for 30 mph frontal only. IIHS seems to love just about everything. (80+ best bets vs 8 not recommended.)

Do the Recaro's. I love they way they look and my son loves riding in it.

like people have said. They probably don't pass safety standards here. Go with Recaro's Name brand for seating safety. Thats what I'm using and the 2nd stage seat kinda matches the S4's with the two tone interiors lol
