Travel system that meets Australian standards?

Nicole... All cab drivers are supposed to carry a babyseat - at least in NSW it was not a problem. So I never had to lug a car seat around. I always called a cab though and requested for one with one.

Nicole,

The safensound I borrowed you would be able to put a belt around in a cab, (in the slots where the tether strap goes) there are heaps of safensound models though so not sure if they are all the same. This one had bits similar to the maxi cosi where the belt goes through.
I was pretty hopeless the with the top tether strap too!

I mean a cab in HK - we're in cabs over here a lot...

I really hate the top tether strap, with rear facing car seats it makes it so hard to get the baby out! I would always get my daughter's leg caught or something Dumb Aussie laws!!

Can you buy safensound in HK??

I think it's pretty hard to get any car seats here that meet Oz, Cdn or US standard even if it's a major brand since they sell different models in Asia. It's probably best of you buy the car seat in Australia and bring it back to HK.

Also, one of the problems is that even if your seat meets the standards of a particular country, it technically requires a sticker from the approving authority. I have two car seats of the same model, one purchased in US with a US approval sticker and one purchased in Canada with a Canadian approval sticker. Technically I am only supposed to use the Canadian approved car seat in Canada and the US one in the USA. Pretty ridiculous when it's exactly the same model!!
