Places to get toddler booster car seats

Post by spc » Sun, 21 Aug 2005 3:51 pm

Hi,

We're moving to Singapore with a toddler and am debating if we should get a booster seat in the US or wait till we get to Singapore. Where do we get boosters in Singapore and does anyone know if they have the Compass B500 in Singapore? Thanks so much!

I know it's not the same thing, but I have been really surprised by the different safety standards (actually the lack of) with prams here. In particular, five-point harness belts are really hard to find. If you were thinking it might be cheaper here, I would assume that for the same model, you would be looking at a comparable price to what you might pay at home, since it would have been imported anyway.

Since you will probably want your child in the car seat on the plane (most companies recommend this now), I would strongly advise you get your seat before coming.

"different safety standards" who cares... :mad:

I am a Singaporean...the cost conscious type. My daughter has been using the same booster car seat since she is born. Perhaps, I have been keeping my fingers crossed all these years...have not been caught by any police patrol. :cool:

hmmm.... mothercare strollers are all 5 point harness.

I agree- other strollers sold locally here in singapore are all 3 point harness.
