     We've bought 2 Cosco Peterson Safe-T-Seats for the kids.  They
cost around $40 US.  They do not need a tether.  This is someting to
watch for.  Those that use tethers must be used with the tethers which
means you cannot move them into another car -- ery inconvenient.  The
ones we bought are made to be strapped in using the car's seatbelt.
After safety -- and at least in the US since January of 1981 all child
seats had to comply with strict safety standards so make sure it is
manufactured after that date -- the most important feature is ease of
getting the child in and out.  Believe me it is one of the things that
adds lots of time onto a trip.
