SerenaJ Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Has anyone brought over an Isofix or non-Isofix car seat to Australia, and did they have issues at customs. We are talking to two international removals companies. One of them says Isofix is an issue but the other one we have will be OK to take across. The other one says no UK car seats comply with Health and Safety regulations in Australia so cannot be brought in. Does anyone have any experience of this please?

Quoll Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Unless They have the Aus tick of approval they are illegal so don't bother to bring them but buy new in Australia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SerenaJ Posted September 8, 2016 Author Share Posted September 8, 2016 Thanks. What constitutes the Aus tick of approval? Is there something we need to check if the seats comply with? Or are you saying that they def won't comply if they've not been manufactured in Aus? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Londonpom Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 It looks like it... I have Maxi Cosi to European Standards but definitely no AUS tick... http://www.maxi-cosi.com/au-en/car-seats/car-seat-safety/car-seat-laws-and-regulations/australia-laws-standards.aspx As Quoll stated above. Thats 2 seats not travelling with me! Approval labels around the world Australia | Australian Standard AS 1754 | New Zealand | New Zealand Standard NZS 1754 The Australian and New Zealand Standard label, also known as the 'five ticks' approval, indicates reliability, quality assurance and safety as the product’s most valuable attributes.

SerenaJ Posted September 8, 2016 Author Share Posted September 8, 2016 Thanks. That helps clarify things. So that's 2 car seats definitely not coming with us either! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Unless its been tested in Aus to Aus standards and gotten the Aus approval, its not legal to use in Aus. Plus Aus uses the top tether on all seats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
