my bub is getting too long to keep rear facing in her Aust standard Turn a tot, so i either

- have her forward facing in the Turn a tot
or
- buy an overseas rear facing seat that goes to bigger weights

i want to know the ramifications of this

my dh puts up "roadblocks" to me doing this

- the seat won't get thru customs cos it doesn't meet Australian standards
- the front passenger seat will have to be WAY forward to accomodate it
- if we're in an accident, the insurance won't pay up if we have a non-AUstralian standard child seat

are these real concerns or not?

any ideas?

i drive a 1990 Nissan Pintara (hatchback)

would love to hear from people who have "been there, doing that".

am assuming shipping for such an item would be high.

thanks
