Just curious about what carseats you want available in Canada? And why? Maybe we can send the 'results' of the poll here to manufactures for consideration.

For each carseat or carseat categories (infant, convertible, ff-only, carseat/booster, booster, etc.)
1) What carseat do you want see available in Canada? List the reasons you want that carseat here? Provide links to description, pictures, specs, features, etc.
2) Is there a difference in the max. weight limit in other countries for this carseat and the impending 65 lbs max. weight limit in Canada, what are they?
3) Anything else the might be important and I have not thought of.

You get the drift with my questions, lol.

Infant
1. Chicco Keyfit - I especially want to see if the 30 has a taller shell than the regular 22lb model... fits preemies and small babies really well with a 4lb starting weight - not out until summer (the 30).
2. Graco SS1 - with GRACOPEDIC foam... we got the shaft again, our identical US counterparts come with gracopedic foam... Canada's do not?:mad:

Convertible
1. Recaro Signo/Como - RF to 35lbs, FF to 70lbs... best of the Marathon and Radian combined with super tall top harness slots! - I forsee people importing this one as well :whistle:
2. Britax Marathon - with US weight limits
3. Britax Boulevard - like the infinite harness adjuster
4. SKJP Radian - with US weight limits

FF Only
1. Britax Regent - so many people need this seat for heavier/taller kids and are using it up here regardless of what TC says

We haven't really reached booster age here yet... Aiden just turned 5 and still only weighs 36lbs:eek: We do have a spare Parkway for occassional friends in the van and I like it a lot, much better than the TB I gave to a friend (so I could buy a Parkway - Yes, I have an addiction):D

Edited to add: Sorry, I didn't link anything... I'm not the best at that, so thought I'd leave that part up to someone else.

I would like any car seat that goes significantly above the current 48lbs with harness Canadian limit! My son will most likely pass that before his 3rd birthday and is NOT ready for a booster. I would like at least 80lbs with harness.

So then it sounds like you would like the Regent :D

I would like to see more options for infant seat like the Chicco Keyfit, more britax seats available (infant, convertable & Regent). Maybe also the new Recaro would be a nice option as well :)

I'd like to see the Marathon and the Radian with the US weight limits.
I'd also love to see the Regent available up here.

Is the Chicco key fit sold at all in Canada? I desperately want one, but can't seem to find it?
