Honda puts the kid in the driver's seat
Here at Autoblog our philosophy on early childhood education – yes, we have a philosophy on early childhood education – is that no age is too young to begin teaching the little ones a love for cars. That's why we love featuring kids' toys like Automoblox and slot car racing sets, along with the grown-ups' toys we report on daily, and often behave like little children ourselves. Or at least that's how we justify it to our own kids.
The latest comes courtesy of Honda, who've realized that even the children deserve a shot at getting in on the JDM scene by offering this special Type R child seat. Unfortunately it's only available (at the moment) in Japan, which makes sense when you consider the local availability of the four-door Civic Type R sedan, which has the space to drift the kids around Tokyo.

That's nothing. My carseat in the 70's even had a steering wheel.

LOL! I think we need this for my wife's 07 CRV...I havent put the Type R sticker or giant exhaust pipe on it yet but at least my boy should have the Type R seat. Has anybody seen the dyno #s on this yet? If this seat adds the missing 100 ft-lbs of torque the car needs, I am buying!

Heh. I have the same seat, except mine is much better as it doesn't have the screamingly naff Type R sticker.

You dorks ragging on this either fail to recognize the difference between Honda "Type R" and ricer "Type R", or fail to respect the real Honda cars. Either way you're uninformed.
