Am I reading the amount they are charging for this seat correct? Between 400-500 us dollars? That's highway robbery. You should be able to find a seat for less than that, way less. If its a full car seat that's one thing but we got a toddler seat for my wifes Mercedes thats straps in via the seat belt and goes around the child. It is not as involved as a full blown child seat, no sides or back on it. Its perfect for a toddler. The one we have will fit in the front seat of the Crossfire. I'll take a picture of it later this evening and post it for you. I think she paid under 40$ us for it.
