    It shows $16 delivery. So the title needs to be corrected.

    They also have other seats for sale, e.g.

    InfaSecure Comfi Cruiser Convertible 6mths-8yrs Car Seat is only $149!

      I can't directly link to their eBay store so I linked to their website but you can get a free postage from their eBay store.

    • Geewhizz on 26/06/2014 - 16:41

      The Comfi Cruiser to which you have linked is an older seat. The 'switch to booster' marker ( the middle one) has been raised on seats made for several months now ie, the top two height markers are closer together instead of all three being evenly spaced like the one in the link.

      I am new to the CREP rating. Would you please explain why the second one is not great?? They look very similar to me…

    While I am a big lover of infa seats (I have 4 - 3 comfi caprice and 1 kompressor caprice), I'm not a fan of the 0-8. If you are keen on optimal safety you should look up extended rear facing. The 0-8 is an a1 restraint which is a lower rear facing capability than the 0-4 infa equivalent (the neon/maxima which is often on sale for around $110 (currently as toys r us, should be on special in big w baby sale shortly).

    CREP I take with a grain of salt as they don't cover all seats and are usually out of date quickly.

    The comfi rates well for safety, lower for ease of use. As I said, I have 3 and find them easy to use. I would not put a 6 month old in one though. (Most 6 month olds wouldn't reach the minimum use marker anyhow! My 2.5 year old only just does!) 2 would be the youngest I would use one for.

      Yep, lower markers for rear facing, and height markers are not as high as, say Infasecure Rally/Rallye forward facing either.

      Far better as suggested by Steggles to get 0-4 first.

      By the time your littly has outgrown that ACCC will have ratified the changes needed for higher harnessed boosters than are currently avialable.

    • lisss on 23/06/2014 - 11:14

      Totally agree with everything you've said here, personally I would not be putting an under 12 month old in a 0-8 carseat and would recommend buying a 0-4 seat first.

  • Bargain hunter mum on 23/06/2014 - 12:02

    Totally agree with all the comments re 0-4 car seat first
    As for the CREP ratings I only became aware as looking for a booster for my very tall 3 and 1/2 year old and after having her in the ahr platinum with the air bags the boosters seem unsafe but I think sometimes world of mouth is best and it also depends on your car and lifestyle ie how many kids you have as to what you get

    • coffeecoffeecoffee on 23/06/2014 - 18:58

      Did you end up buying the 3.5yr old a seat yet? Your best bet is either the infa comfi series (also sold as rallye etc) or the maxi rider easy adjust. They both have the highest markers available.

  • cornbeef on 23/06/2014 - 14:28

    one word Australia - ISOFIX. Now that our legislators are catching up with the rest of the world (or is that waking up?) I'd be inclined to go with this if your car has the system, and do away with the vagaries of a 'is it tight enough' harness system.

  • Bargain hunter mum on 23/06/2014 - 14:44

    Are they available yet?

    • cornbeef on 23/06/2014 - 15:57

      they are - unfortunately the argument is demand creates supply when I asked locally so I said fine - I'll buy online….
      the key is that they are now recognised in Australian standards.

      • coffeecoffeecoffee on 23/06/2014 - 18:55

        You cannot legally buy and use any isofix seat from overseas just FYI. There is no Australian standard isofix seat released as of yet. Doesn't matter that the standards have been mandated, you still can't get it here yet!

    "It scored very well in all three modes in recent CREP tests (five out of five stars in all critical feature tests in all modes)"

    Now that is a pure lie (or some may call it marketing talk, whatever you like).

    Who picks which tests are critical? For example why is
    "Managing impact energy to the dummy's head in frontal impact" (5 stars)
    more important than
    "Managing impact energy to the dummy's head in side impacts" (1 star)?

    Having said that, the seat averages 4/3/4 stars in three modes respectively, which is quite good.

    • Geewhizz on 26/06/2014 - 16:37

      Side impact IS important, but not as critical as for frontal impact, as the speeds (and thus the force of the impact)involved in either senario are likely to be vastly different.

      CREP is far from being the sole basis upon which one should buy a seat however, because not all seats are tested. It's a totally voluntary organisation who receives no funding for testing seats, so it's a bit ad hoc. Just because a seat has a CREP rating, that doesn't make it a superior seat to one that does not.
