Is there a comparison of diff countries carseat use/info?

I am slowly but eagerly learning about carseat standards and laws in varying countries. I live in Canada and am familiar some of the seats here, how they install, the limits, but like learning about the seats in Sweden, Australia, etc. I am wondering if there is a comparison thread, or resources to learn about the seats kinda across the globe? I would love to see a global map where you can hover over a country and see something -RF to so and so pounds or No Restraint laws, or whathaveyou.

Anyhow, for interest's sake...any info would be appreciated!

Perhaps you've found your calling?

Maintaining this information for just North America alone would be a massive undertaking :)

Yeah, there's not anything like that for the world, but the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (a U.S. group) has a pretty neat map that does what you describe, for the laws in the U.S. states.

Wow, I really like the one that goes over the US States. I would love to see something more on a international level, Yes, it would be difficult-so many updates and such, correct info, etc.

So, if there is a fairly new breakdown of the general comparison...would love to see more links and such! Thanks for posting the link to the states one. I wonder if Canada has something similar.

Yes, calling...I am so interested in learning it...have this need to learn more and more! I have learned so much on here that I didn't know. And I find it really scary at how little parents, people actually do know about carseat safety. That is why I think I would be good at taking the tech course-not just for installs but for helping other people learn , increase awareness around the communities I can.
