Talking Wat do you think about these Chinese Armrest?

This is only ¥288, which is about $40+.
This armrest is made by PC leather, and are not for sell in US.
The quality of these pictures are not good, but I think the quality of these products are not bad.

I personally do not like them; however, this may be another choice.

Not bad for $40, but I think it could get in the way with elbows or arm space for people who drive MT.

That's not an armrest. if you translate the text into English, that's actually a center console toddler seat, so your kid can sit between daddy and mommy and see out the front with an unrestricted view. The literal translation of the title is:
"BRZ 86 Happy Panda small child chair - more wonderfuls fun for family".

they also sell the 'baby panda comfort accident cushion' in case that happens.

i'm kidding, by the way, about the product. i'm not kidding about the lack of child safety awareness in Asia and other countries.

Not sure if that is a real translation or a joke. Those Chinese are always so safely conscious.

Considering the ad is in Japanese I'm calling bullshit on this one.

From what I hear many Japanese dislike Chinese products. Perhaps that's because they are systematically swallowing up manufacturing of higher value products, the mainstay of the Japanese economy for the past 40+ years.

I heard that after the real estate bubble tons of car part manufacturers sold their high value Capitol cost equipment to Chinese firms. Some claim many machines were simply dismantled or mothballed so North American companies will stay out of making products the Chinese plan to corner the market on.

I wonder how long before we see Chery cars here.
