Have the rules changed regarding car seats???

I have a Radian Cookie doctor, it's a good seat but yes it needs a lot of room even with the angle adjuster!

Hmm so once DD is out of her current car seat (not for ages, she's still got another 3kg to go) what's the best option for RF? We have an i30 CW wagon.

phebee i think the infa neon is the only seat on the australian market that has higher RF limits.

if you were considering importing i have only looked into the radian because of all the good things i have heard.

DS2 was a little lightweight (still is!). I left him rear facing until I felt that his neck muscles were strong enough for holding his head up for prolonged periods of time. And, that he could sit for prolonged periods of time without support. I (personally) think it's a big ask to put a baby in a forward facing restraint just because the hit the weight range - some of the mums in my mums group did, as their babies were "large" but still couldn't properly support themselves in an upright position. The bubs looked uncomfortable in their seats and I don't think it was doing their little bodies any good at all.
