Default Re: Using an overseas baby car seat to prolong rear facing for my DD in the car

No you can't use an over seas car seat. The reason for this is that Australia is the only country in the world that uses a tether strap to secure the seat (this is the strap that goes to the back of the car) all other car seats around the world only use the car seat belt to secure the car seat into the car. Therefore an overseas made car seat is A) illegal in Australia and B) not as safe so you'd be wasting your money. If your little one is too big to be rearward facing then she is probably ready to face forward and be perfectly safe anyway.
