    Any seat that has a Swedish style tether is not legal to use here Only seats from NZ that have our 5 tick standard approval are legal to use here. NZ gets to use a lot of great international standard seats because they are allowed to share their standards. Here we can only use Australian Standard approved seats legally. Yes it would be a give away with a Swedish tether if pulled over and the police officer knew what to look for.

    So, the Radians are not legal to use in Australia.

    I don't think so caz. But ISOFIX has been approved for use here starting this year. That is, Australian approved seats with ISOFIX. But we will need to wait until the Aussie manufacturers release ISOFIX seats for purchase here. No idea how long that will be from now. They have been aware of the introduction for some time so may surprise us with something soon.
