I'm currently buying a new seat for our kid (as she's outgrowing the second-hand one we had before). Even with ISOFIX and i-Size standards in the EU, it's an ordeal. The space is ridiculously overcrowded (just how many variants of a car seat can one make?!), seats themselves are near-impossible to compare against each other, and every site keeps reminding you that your kid's life hangs on your purchase. And then there's car compatibility issue - we just discovered that even though our Xsara Picasso has ISOFIX mount points, it doesn't accept the support leg (because of floor-level storage compartments) and seemingly doesn't have a top tether mounting point either. One has to wonder why they even bothered to add the ISOFIX mounts in the first place.
At this point I'd gladly pay $100 or more for some expert to just recommend a safe seat for our car. I already wasted much more than that on research in terms of opportunity cost.
