Several things I would like to see:

Vehicle Specifications on brouchures etc., including the number of fitted child restraint points (yes My D3 has 3 in the second row).

I would luv to see ISOfix child restraints (or an Australian equivalent) approved.

As I understand it, crazily Isofix doesn't meet Aust standards. Not sure how long it will take us to catch up....

Why do you assume that the Oz Standards are behind?

The current standard in Aus was the same as the pre-isofix system in Europe. They upgraded as it was a better, safer system in the crash testing done in Germany from what I've read on the 'net.

Put Grandma and grandpa in the back, the third row is comfortable for an adult, I had my father in law in the 3rd row for 4 days as we drove around Kangaroo Island with no complaining.

Certainly easier than kid seats, provided they are able to get in, but as the 2nd row roll forward an out of the way it is not too hard to climb in.
