Can anyone advise on travelling with a child's car seat?
We are flying LHR-MEL-SYD-LHR at Easter with a 22 month child that has been bought her own seat.
At the time of booking QF in London made no comment about taking a car seat, but this seems to be recommended practice although, speaking with the airline, they do require full details of the seat. As we shall buy one for the purpose has anyone any recommendations?
Mothercare suggested a seat that can be fastened with solely a lap belt is the type to go for - presuambly so it can fit into any seat (preferably a window for evac purposes, I imagine)
A bit of research reveals that all car seats in Australia have a top tether - something unheard of in Europe, but a damned good idea - so it seems unlikely that anything we but in the UK will be legal for use in Australia.
Any comments / recommendations / news of experiences would be welcome. Infants of this sort of age must be fairly common on these routes.
