    It has been recalled because the tether strap was actually permanently attached to the capsule,I.e. stitched on, so that you had to actually undo it from the anchor bolt to remove the capsule from the car.....it was only only on capsules made to the new standard so only a few had been sold. They removed all stock from the shops and although it has Not been widely advertised if you are unhappy with yours they are giving refunds. This is not the original micos just a few that we're in the latest design release.....basically someone stuffed up in the design.....who wants to have to cart the tether strap around with you when the capsule is not in the car.

    Oh and the word on the grapevine is that the new safety first capsule might just fit onto the maxi cosi adapters making it a possibility for the donkey....fingers crossed because it rates highly in the CREP tests.

    can someone explain customs taxes to me? I am going to buy the Cameleon from a before mentioned website but I recently read on a FB page about people paying a customs fee or tax? It hadn't occurred to me and I can't figure out the fees which of course I need to include in my calculations of if it is cheaper to buy online or in a shop...

    Thanks for clearing that up. What a massive design flaw! I can't believe they actually went into production with them. Mine definately doesn't have the tether strap permanently attached, so I guess I don't have to worry.
