My cousin is having a baby this month. She currently has a Chicco infant seat. She will be moving to Korea later this year when her husband is stationed over there. Can she use American seats in Korea? Thanks.

I believe as military, if they live on base, they're allowed to legally use US seats.

Though Britax looks to have some neat Korean seats, though they only go to 18kg.

I recently asked a friend about carseats in Korea, and the answer was basically: "What carseats?" ...from that, I'd say use a North American seat :)

Since she is military she can certainly use her own US seat, but since she's not moving until later in the year you might recommend to hear that she buy a convertible to take with her instead of taking her infant seat. Otherwise her infant seat might be outgrown and she might have a hard time getting another seat for extended rear facing, if that's what she wants to do. Although sometimes it seems the military can get good deals and/or free shipping overseas so maybe she wouldn't have a problem.
