MB Infant/Child Seat

I am wondering if anyone has purchased the MB Infant/Child Seat from the dealer? It seems extremely expensive ($450). Not sure what or if there is a difference between a Mercedes car seat, or any regular brand i.e. recaro.
My guess would be paying a premium for the Mercedes emblem..

any feed back would be a great help.

Thanks -

I've considered the MB seats many times, but like you mentioned, at that cost, seems there are too many options.......and even better ones at that.....
seems like it's merely another overpriced add on for dealers and their parts departments...


as long as the little one has a good seat; save the money for better things

Go with Recaros I have their Performance Ride and it's solid. I'd stay away from their Coupe though. Thing has horrible locking/release mechanism from the base. Already had to warranty claim twice.

Many thanks all! Great information. I kind of figured the MB car seat was a bit over priced.
