While car seats are available in Qatar, they're bound to be pricier than the ones you have already, and the selection will not exactly "wow" you. Unfortunately I can't tell you what brands are available here since I haven't paid them any attention.

I brought my two Britax Boulevards with us from the U.S. and they came through fine. I do recommend purchasing car seat travel bags if you can find them in Norway because it will definitely help keep the cloth cover in better shape. If you can't find them, though, the airline will put it in a very heavy-duty plastic bag.

Hope that helps,

P.S. I am starting a Mums and Kids group here in Doha for expats. Be sure to get in touch with me when you arrive (or before if you have any questions). We'll have playgroups, Mums Night Out, and Expectant Moms Group, etc. There are no dues or anything like that. . .just fun :o)
