Can I use an Urban Kanga car seat in any car? The most compact one I know of is the Hifold: mifold.co.uk/products/hifold-the-fit-and-fold-booster Many reviewers complain it doesn't seem too safe, but are there actual crash tests?
Is the Urban Kanga car seat worth the investment? Well, if the family doesn’t own a car and short taxi or Grab rides are the norm, then this seat might just be a perfect match.This is another extended rearward-facing car seat, and is approved for use with children measuring 45cm to 105cm (birth to around age four). Read the full Chicco Seat2Fit i-Size review to see what it's like to install. For more information on what goes into Which? car seat testing, read our guide on how we test baby and child car seats. Tagged as: Japan and South Korea private vehicles: It only became compulsory to wear a seatbelt in South Korea in 2018! Needless to say, it’s still catching up with car seat legislation. The law says (in both South Korea and Japan) that all children under six years should be in an appropriate child restraint, but it doesn’t specify the type. In Japan, there are government guidelines that state children under two years should be in a rear-facing car seat, those from two to four years can be in a forward-facing seat and then they should sit in a booster until they are eight years old.
The Urban Kanga is only 3 kg urbankanga.com/en/car-seats/ and doesn't require isofix, but goes only up to 4 years Taxis: Taxis are classified as public transport and therefore the same car seat rules don’t apply. Like in Australia, Ubers are classified as private vehicles and therefore require the appropriate child restraint, according to state law. It’s almost like having an extra pair of hands, especially when juggling between a toddler, shopping bags, and life in general. Compatible with All Cars There’s no denying that car seat laws in Hong Kong are relaxed (i.e. non-existent!) to say the least. The same can be said of many of our favourite holiday spots in the region — Bali, Thailand and Vietnam. But what do you do when you to travel to a country where the rules do matter? The irony is not lost on us that one week you could be holidaying in Thailand, zipping along carefree in a tuk tuk with the kids in your lap or carrier, while the next week they might be strapped in tight to a booster seat as you visit family. Australia, North America, Europe and the UK all have much stricter requirements, not to mention Singapore and Japan which are much closer to home here in Hong Kong. If you do own a car seat, it is not as simple as just bringing it along to your destination.In an ideal world, we’d all have our kids safely ensconced in a car seat in our SUV as we blissfully glide around the island. But for those of us unwilling to sell an organ to enjoy the luxury of car ownership in Singapore, we regularly suffer varying levels of torture as our little ones use a taxi as their own personal trampoline park. Not to mention winding down the windows in an attempt to do a Houdini-esque escape. As long as your car is fitted with three-point retractor seat belts, the Urban Kanga can be installed in the rear left, center, or right of the car in its forward facing position. It should never be installed with a two-point seat belt alone. If your baby is under 9kg then your only options are the Tilt or the Group 0+ seat because they can't yet go into a Group 1 seat. Have you seen the new RyRy Compact car seat? It’s your every day permanent car seat but it can also fold up and is compact enough to take on your travels with you, or equally just as compact to store it away in a small space at home when not needed. It’s just passed the new EU R129 safety certification which is more stringent than the previous R44 which is commonplace in the market. It’s got a great sustainability story and credentials, plus it comes with integrated Isofix and it’s own travel bag. Our crash tests go beyond the minimum legal requirements for the current car seat regulations (R44.04 and R129), and they're derived from tests by Euro NCAP, the organisation that carries out crash tests on cars.

Something like Britax Eclipse (which is additionally plane approved) or Joie Steadi (which has a rear facing option). These are cheaper than most of the folding options so it might not matter that you'll only get a couple of years out of it. Or even the cheaper generic/own brand type supermarket seats by Nania etc - these tend to be pretty flimsy, and average to low on the performance end, but they are light, seatbelt fitted, cheap to buy and they score better than the Urban Kanga. Something like Nania Racer SP or Nania I-Max SP Whether you’re catching a taxi for grocery shopping or taking a Grab car to visit relatives, this lightweight seat ensures that travelling with a child doesn’t have to feel like a workout. The crash test rating is not good; the side impact protection is basically nothing at all (more of a problem for this age group which is why it gets a worse score) and they rate it with a high risk of making an error while using, which is a problem, because if it's not fitted correctly then it's likely to perform worse even than this already not-great score.The Nachfolger is expensive, and I can imagine inflating it would be quite a faff while a taxi driver is waiting.
