RideSafer vests are legal to use in all countries that recognize US Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. They also
hold compliance certification under China Compulsory Certification , Korean KCL and are permitted in Canada as CMVSS 213.3 custom restraints.
Restraints certified in the U.S. are usually not certified in other countries and visa versa as there are slightly different standards every where. Typically when traveling parents are allowed to bring in their usual child restraint. In our combined 25+ years as car seat technicians, we have not heard of anyone being ticketed for using a car seat from a different country while they were traveling.
The RideSafer is a fabulous option when traveling with children who are within the age and size limits of the vest.
No customers have ever reported having difficulty with using the RideSafer internationally. Though we do understand it may be a concern since the local authorities are likely not familiar with it. The RideSafer manufacturer shared this letter with us for people who take the RideSafer traveling internationally. If you decide to use the RideSafer in on your international trip, perhaps bring a copy of this letter along.
