Hi,
We are traveling out to Canada from the UK shortly and our DD will be ready for a group 1 seat at about the same time.
We are going to be driving in Canada so will need a car seat whilst there. We could hire one with the car which should be straightforward but it occurred to me that we could buy a seat in Canada (there are members of the family who could meet us at the airport with the seat) use it there and bring it back with us. This would save on hire costs in Canada but what else do we need to consider?
From a little research I think that the car seat would need to conform to ECE R44.03 or ECE R44.04 (www.childcarseats.org.uk/standards/r4403.htm)
So does anyone know if seats sold in Canada will conform to this standard?
Am I bonkers to even consider this! Would I be better to go for the simple option and rent one there a buy one here?
Or even just buy it here before hand and take it with us?
