RE: Infant seats for ML320?

Does anyone have recommendation for the best infant seat for ML320? Our daughter will be giving birth in a few months and we would prefer to get the best seat that will fit the ML without hassles.

Thanks,

For a baby seat you need to get the MB OEM seat (with baby-smart token), because you can't disable the passanger airbag manually and you really want your youngun to be on the front seat next to you if you're driving alone.

For a group 1 seat (9kg-18kg), no baby-smart seat is required (since they are to be put in the back seat).

I have a Britax Romer DUO, which uses the (standard in Europe) ISOFIX latches on the back seat. In the certification manual from that seat, it explicitly lists MY02+ as a requirement for the latches, so I don't think you have latches on the back seat. In that case you can either use the standard seatbelt in the DUO or the Britax King/Quickfix seats: all very good seats.

cheers,
Bram
