Hey Lil Nic. You can also get carseats that meet NZ safety standards that use the seatbelt as a tether rather than needing a bolt....I don't drive so I have one that I use for babys nana's car. Easy to get in and out of peoples cars...The seatbelt kind of goes around the back and acts as a tether.   
Phil and Ted Bebe recline is one of these as are the SKEP range of carseats which can be ordered on line. If you are changing cars frequently they can be a good idea.

Chelsea's carseat doesn't require a tether for rear facing but does for forward facing. We had her forward facing for a few months and the seat felt much more secure, but have turned her back to rear facing now and just wedge it up against the front seat so it doesn't move. The tether strap doesn't reach the bolt when it's rear facing otherwise I would use it anyway!

Rachel you can get extensions from Baby Factory for them, a 30cm one is only $18 (got one today for my granddads car)

ReneeMaree, yup our carseat also uses the seat belt round the back too as well as the tetherstrap/bolt.

I'm surprised to hear that an anchor point perhaps can't be installed because they seem to be able to be put several places. Someone I know has their anchor point attached to the underside of the seat in their van. Our car's anchor point is up high.

Yeah I thought it was strange too tbh, he said older cars, ours is a '92. I know if you have an old OLD car, e.g 50s then you don't need to bother with it or something like that.
Maybe he said it jic it can't be done? DP is going to find out sometime this week anyway.
