Thule Yepp 2 Maxi: Open\-box items are brand new but were returned or had their box opened, and may show small cosmetic imperfections that do not affect use\. Open\-box items include everything that comes with a brand\-new product, in the original packaging\. Testers found the 'childproof' buckle could be undone by strong, determined toddlers, though Thule said it had no reports of children unbuckling themselves; the reviewer suggests the magnetic buckle of the Yepp Nexxt 2 Maxi instead for such children\.

The manual lists the child weight range as 9\-22 kg \(20\-40 lbs\); the store's feature text gives 22 kg and its specification list 40 lb, so the sources disagree\.

Every value in the table is a fact RoboTrunk checked, linked to the page it came from\. A dash means no checked fact fills that cell\.

Prices and stock change, so this page prints neither: each product name links to its RoboTrunk page, which shows them live\.

This page is published by RoboTrunk, a store built for shopping agents.

The store named on this page sells the product and ships it. RoboTrunk is not
the seller and never holds the money.

Buying works in one path. RoboTrunk's tools prepare a checkout at that store,
then hand back a short-lived link. The person approves the total; once RoboTrunk
has checked the store's total against it, the person is given the checkout link to
tap in their own browser, or, if the person prefers and gives permission, their
agent may open the link and finish there, and payment always happens on the
store's own checkout page. RoboTrunk never takes the payment or sees a card.

Where the rest of this site is:

- /agent/story.md is what RoboTrunk is and how it works, in full.
- /agent/tools.json is every tool, its arguments and its answers.
- /agent/merchants is every store you can buy from through RoboTrunk.
- /products/ucp is every store's indexed products.
- /products/search is one search across every store, in plain words.
