Hi there,


The following is the info I got from school. Hope it helps.


The main change is that car seats will now be obligatory for children of less than 150cm height, up to age 12 (in the past, it has only been up to age 7). Also, they will have to carry a 'grading' of at least 03 or higher, which in practice will rule out most older models, labelled 01 and 02. There is also the issue of the 'exception' which you mention which applies only to children aged 7 or older.


The information on the TCS site is given in French, German or Italian but not in English. There is, however, an English summary available on http://www.ch.ch/private/00987/01052/01054/02090/index.html?lang=en. … 


And this one http://www.tcs.ch/etc/medialib/main/rubriken/auto_moto/pdf/Kindersitze.Par.0009.File.tmp/flyer_anglais.pdf

I looked on the TCS site and it says that Autour du Bebe www.autourdebebe.ch and Baby Rose www.babyrose.ch can verify your child seat for you.

Ok so I got a compliant seat at Carefour in Segny, 55 euros, don't know if that is a good price or not, just wanted to get the job done.  Thanks to all that posted.
