fisherman Posted April 28, 2007 Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 Hello there, Just wondering if it is worth taking over our Childrens car seats? Will they be suitable for use there or should we not bother bringing them? What ages do the kids go into car seats until?ThanksHappy packer!

DOnt get caught breaking the law on this one.RACV - Child Safety & Restraints InformationLaw and Standards on Child restraintsRather buy approved car seats and have them fitted by an approved dealer. This is another reason why no point in trying to import a S.A. vehicle over. All cars here in Aus come fitted with car seat bolts/hooks, which allow you to firmly anchor the baby seat in the car.Rgdsmatman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marlene Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 Thank you for this! By the time we arrive in Aus, our youngest will be out of the snug 'n safe and will be needing a carseat, so, we will be buying there then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matman Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 For those that dont want to buy brand new there are a number of childrens second hand stores - very often as good as new. Kids grow out of these things so quickly.Rgdsmatman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
