The problem is, they've got you by the short and curlies. If you want to travel with your small children in the back of a 90, these are the only option.
They've filled a need, and given it a premium price. To be honest though, I would imagine that the cost to them of getting them approved wil have been pretty high, so they're also reflecting that.

Not defending high prices - it's just the thought process I went through when I looked at them at the back end of last year and thought they were high prices. Don't need them yet  :shock:

Got to agree with Ben here.

These are the only after market seats I've seen so far that meet the new standards. You can't just bolt a hinge to the rear tub any more, especially on new vehicles.

If you're still having doubts, check out the reinforcing on the rear tub on the '07 Defender being fitted to meet the new seating requirements.  :shock:

Cheers
