    Default Car seats

    Moved here with 2 boosters(full back) from USA and sold others to a friend.

    Now we have bought a 2nd car(unplanned purchase intially) I need to pick up 2 more boosters.

    Kids are 5 and 6.

    I do not like the type in Warehouse as we used this type on a reccie trip and hated them.

    Any suggestions where to buy full back boosters similar(not expecting the same) to ones from USA.

    Thanks

    Phil and Teds sells them. I bought one for my niece a couple of years ago - I think I got it online from Winkalotts.

    You might want to check out www.babyonthemove.co.nz Not neccessarily the cheapest seats (not sure what your budget is), but they have a lot of high-back boosters and the staff (at least at the Albany branch) were very helpful when we bought DD's extended rearfacing toddler seat.

    We bought all of our car seats etc from www.babycare.nl. Prices were good, delivery was quick and range far better than anything we've seen here. Plus we've been able to sell the maxi-cosi stuff for almost as much as we paid for it!

    Try Babycity or Baby Factory too for good selections..
    They will be dearer than Warehouse but better seats!

    Go to Plunket. They do child services and car seat installations/recommendations.
