I see from some of the posts in this forum that Britax is referred to as Safe & Sound? Is this the same manufacturer, just with a different name in Australia? We have Britax seats here in the US, and I am wondering if they'll be allowed in Australia when we go there?

Yes Safe N Sound is made by Britax if you go to www.britax.com.au you will see they are Safe N Sound.

Unfortunately per Australian law the use of an overseas seat is illegal. Australia only permits car seats that pass Australian standards and US car seats do not.

For instance ALL RFing carseats MUST be top tethered AND have an ARB (anti rebound bar).

Unfortunately Australian seats only RF to 12kg (26lbs) and FF until 18kg (40lbs)
