I find the Brio to be reasonably difficult to install. The production problems they suffered a few years ago have apparently been resolved though, and safety wise they are not less safe than other brands. For tall children, carseat.se recommends Britax hiway, twoway & multi tech. The multitech is now available for sale in the UK as well. I agree with Håkan above, there are better seats.

They help install the seats in your car. The In Car Safety Centre (www.incarsafetycentre.co.uk) in Milton Keynes also has a very wide range of group 1 rear facing seats, including the Britax ones.

There are better seats available. Zento suffered some really horrible reviews a couple of years ago when it broke during overload testing. While this is not great the test was under more extreme circumstances than usual. Seat is still safe but some parents have been scared about the test results. Zento does not good amount of space but seat shell is still not that high. Using seats like Britax Two-Way or Britax Multi Tech give kids far longer rear facing time. Most kids can easily sit RF at least a year longer than in Zento. Two-Way and Multi Tech offer the same advantages as Zento in that they can also be used forward facing at a later stage. Time of use will be far longer than with Zento though. Brio Zento is a good seat but it’s not common in Sweden. There are better seats available.
