HAve had a look on their web site and the only one I can see that is different to the Halfords models is this one:
Any thoughts on the Lexus own car seat?

Good evening all!Hopefully someone can provide an answer to the problem I am finding. My 2 year old daughter needs a new car seat, and I have been looking at the Group 1/2/3 seats from Recaro, Brittax and Nania (Team Tex i think!). They were all trial fitted at my local Halfords who informed me none were any good as the buckle is too long and causes "Buckle Crunch". So we tried the group 1 seats, and found the same issue. Apparently it is a common trait among a number of car manufacturers, and I have seen a few press articles recently about incorrectly fitted child seats!Now if Halfords did not provide this service I would of happily bought online the Recaro seat (Young Sport I think it was) and been none the wiser. But their comments on all of these seats has me worried!Our other car has a Maxi Cosi Tobi fitted, and this does fit the IS, but we really want (and need) one for each car, rather that swap each journey. Buying another Tobi, or going down the Isofix route seems false economy at the moment as it will not be long before she is old enough and heavy enough to have a group 2/3 seat!Now I know I probably have answered my question but I am interested to know what child seats others have in their IS250/220 and is there anywhere else that offers the Halfords service of trial fit before you buy?Comments appreciated and many thanks in advanceMattPS The car is IS250SE Auto MM, 58 Reg, Leather etc, Simply the best car I have ever owned!

Hi Hando
I know - that is why I think I have already answered the question! It does make the best financial sense too, to wait till she is three!
At least Halfords have done the right thing - very easy for them to have sold me a £150 Recaro childs seat! Well done to them!
Anyone have the Lexus own seat? Anyone know how much they are?
