What car or cars have you installed it into? Extended rear-facing carseats tend to be extra long and so can be hard to fit into smaller cars like a Myvi or a Fiesta, so telling what cars you have successfully installed your britax max fix in would give other parents some idea of its suitability to their own cars.

Also, have you tried installing with both isofix and seatbelt? Or just isofix or seatbelt? Which car positions have you tried installing the Max Fix? Middle back seat, behind driver or behind front passenger seat?

ah yes. it's pretty huge. i have only used it with isofix only.

i use it in two cars

volkswagen sharan - it will fit easily on any of the middle row seats. however my preference is to install it in on the middle seat. this is one advantage the sharan has, it has three pairs of isofix points for the middle row so even the middle seat has one.

mercedes-benz s-class - it will fit on both rear seats. i use it behind the driver.

yes i did. kena whack around RM1000 at customs. had to go the kastam near the old LCCT to pay and claim the seat.

anyway if i were to buy a similiar "spec" seat now i would go for Concord Reverso which the official distributor confirmed are bringing in. no need to mafan self import.

I planned to buy a baby seat from States. Did all my research and found out it's not taxable for duties.. probably just need to pay GST 6%.

Here's the link. http://www.dutycalculator.com/hs-code-duty...01.80.0000/493/

I wish I knew that because I certainly got chopped.

Anyway right now there's an official importer for Concord bringing in the Concord Reverso which is also an extended rear facing chair like the Max Fix.
