    website/summary of car seats available? safety ratings, dimensions etc

    Is there a website that shows you the different kids' car seats that are available? I will have to upgrade DD sometime soon, and thought i should start researching. My car has the isofix system if that makes a difference.

    This is for relevant safety ratings.
    CREP results

    In terms of isofix Australia has legislation being drafted but I don't think it has actually been 'published' yet, but I am behind with the time so am probably wrong.

    perfect, thanks. i think i read a post on BB in the last week or two saying that isofix seats will now be legal. have to take a look back to find it.

    Thanks I didn't realise it was legal already, great news as we will probably look to upgrade soon.
    Now here's hoping if/when we have another child in a few year the Australia carseat market will have com to their senses and start producing ERF seats too.

    There aren't as far as I know any seats available in Australia that are isofix compatible, and booster seats won't be for a long while yet. It's only for rear facing and newborn to 4 seats as yet.

    Also the CREP site is great, I used it too, but it doesn't include all the available seats out there.
