OK - I just have too much time on my hands I guess - but I was wondering if any of you all know why the infant seats in the European market only have 3 pt harnesses?
Like even the ones with a US equaalent with a 5 pt harness - still only have a 3 pt harness in the Euro market.
Like the US Primo Viaggio has a 5 pt - the European one has a 3 pt.
and so on.

Why is that?

Also, whats their deal with not having any bases on their infant seats?

And does there just happen to be a European carseat with a 5 pt harness and a bsae with LATCH?

Just thinking about this I guess and I couldn't find any answers. I have a friend who has a Eurp infant seat and yes, its a nice seat - but why would one choose a 3 pt harness over a 5 pt and why would one choose to HAVE to install the seat over and over and over again without a base and without LATCH? or isofix or whatever they call it.

just wondering ...
