Listed at €339 Discontinued product (Descatalogado) on OCU; age 9-84 months; weight 9-25 kg. Subcategory assigned by collector from usage range. OCU test date 'enero 2017' does not match an ICRT publication round (many older seats carry 'enero 2017'), so joint_program was not set.

Also recommended: Plustestet / Swedish Plus Test (VTI): Plus Test passed.
