I was looking at them but was worried about them not being ADR approved, not saying they're not safe, just might not be legal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are basicy the safest you can buy on the market for the world. I can fit isofix in my car which is new in Australia but proven safest worldwide for nearly a decade. Recaro does this and also other styles of seat. I am unsure where to buy as of yet because goods and handling is a priority as I don't want it to be knocked around etc in transit and compromise the integrity of the seat. But I am researching so will hopefully find somethingIn terms of legality, u can put your baby in isofix or any seat like that if u choose and u won't get fined etc for it, the legislation only covers selling here? I may be wrong though Either way I'd rather a safer proven seat be illegal here and the chances of getting done for it are fark all then a seat that u buy at big w for $59 being a crapper but still meeting legal requirement Edited 16/12/14 11:10 AM by Princess Fluffy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never had any say Panda I <3 Floods Silver Donating Members 11,198 Member For: 13y 6m 6d Gender: Male Location: South West QLD Posted 16/12/14 12:00 PM Share Posted 16/12/14 12:00 PM Hey fluff.. I did some reading on this a while back. Mainly about isofix.. Anyway australian law requires the seat to display an Australian Standards compliance sticker.. (Similar to what you need on a motorbike helmet).. However unlike motorbikes etc the law hasn't been amended to allow USA standards (like DOT helmets etc), the child restraint law still requires an AS sticker..So.. Option A - it's your kid.. Chances of a cop checking the sticker are slim to freaking none.. However if you have a baby seat that screams 'I didn't buy this at pram warehouse!!' Because of it has a huge RECARO logo on it, well... If I was a cop I'd check it out because I wanted one like it..Option B - pay an upholsterer to reupholster your baby seat on the same trim and maintain the AS logo stamped on the plastic..
