Hi all- DH, DS (9 months) and I are moving to Brisbane on Saturday- eek! I'm very excited about it all and thought we had everything just about sorted until I realised that we may not be able to use DS's current car seat once we're over there. The plan had been to bring his seat with us and then get a new one over there to fit whichever car we end up going with. I had assumed that isofix was standard over there but from what I've read I don't think it's legal even though many cars are isofix-ready.
If we were staying here I would have bought one of the rearfacing seats for use up to around age 4- but again, from what I've read I don't think they're legal over there. I'm tempted to upgrade now and bring a larger rearfacing one with us, use it and run the risk of being fined once we're there if caught- but am not sure how this would be treated by the police. I'm willing to risk being stopped because I believe it's so much safer for DS to travel rear facing for as long as possible- DH is less sure. Has anyone else had similar issues on moving over? Sorry this is so long- thanks for your help!
