Look! Bugaboo Car Seats

We often get asked about attractive car seats and there are few satisfactory answers. And, before you get too excited, we should mention straight off that these Bugaboo car seats are currently only available in Europe.

While safety is foremost when choosing a car seat, we do like this sleek design and basic colors (red, blue, sand, yellow and black). It fits into the Bugaboo stroller frames for a complete travel system.

Why isn't it available in the U.S. you lament? The EU and U.S. have different safety testing and standards and, for now at least, Bugaboo has chosen to conform to those of the EU and market there exclusively. But there's always a chance it will head this way in the future.

The Bugaboo car seat is for sale (189 Euros) in the E.U. at Babytrader

Doesn't mean you can't get your hands on one, though.

It's like the Maxi-Cosi seats. They were not available in the US for years, then they were. Eventually. I bet these will sell in the US.

It is indeed very good-looking. I'm sure it will find its way to the U.S. eventually.

Hurray for Maxi-Cosi. It's the best fit for my Impreza. When I was looking for a car seat, I found http://car-seat.org/ a super resource.
