Me again -- coming in may with a tall 4.5 year old whom we keep in a front-facing harnessed car seat here. IT would be FAR too cumbersome to bring along, but I could bring a booster, or invest in a smaller profile car seat (which would cost about $150 and likely give us only a few months use at best due to height of top harness strap)
What do Norwegians do with older kids -- are we going to need this on public transport, or would I be better off just bringing a backless booster for the plane and for public transport? Or do Norwegians typically just use the seats for kids older than toddlers?

have not seen children seats on trains, neither no possibility of fastening such, only regional buses may have children seats but they are for smaller children, a 4-year would be too tall I guess. Rental car companies will install children seats if told in advance.

Hi, as mentioned above only regional buses and airplanes have any fixing mechanism on public transport. The regional buses and airplanes should have the neccesary seats, but usually in limited amouts, typically one seat per bus, and it is usualy first come first come first served. Maybe if you could give some more information on where you are traveling and what kind of public transport you are planing to use, I could investigate the matter better for you.

I did a quick search on the issues, after posting my tip, silly me ;) Seems people have been able to rent car seats from car rental companies, without renting a car. So contacting a car rental company in the airport/city that you arrive is a good idea :) Have a nice trip!
