    Question New baby - looking for car seat suggestions

    I'm currently expecting baby #3, due around Sept 1, 2011. My infant seat will be expired by then so I'll need a new one. When the baby's born, I'll have a 6 year, 4 month old in a SK Monterey and a 2 year, 2 month old ERF still (hopefully) in a SK Radian Premier. We have a GMC Sierra I think...

    So angry - new carseat is 1 year old!

    I bought Aaron a SK Monterey booster. It just arrived today and it was made exactly 1 year ago. It has a 6 year expiry so it only has 5 years left. I'm so fuming mad. This is the THIRD time Dear Born Baby has pissed me off. I'm never shopping there again. I need to send them an email but I can...

    Question AOE crotch strap position when RF

    Can I use any of the three crotch strap positions when RF? I currently have it in the middle but it is difficult to do up as he's sitting on it and I'd like to move it to the outermost slot. I can't find anything about this in my manual.

    Question BF/GN limits in Canada?

    Anyone know? BRU has conflicting information on the BF. Does it really booster to 100 lbs? All other seats here booster to 80 lbs. Same thing for the GN. Will it booster to 100 lbs like it does in the states?

    Question Radian in Toyota Echo

    Are there any installation issues? I don't know what year it is. It'll be for a 5 month old, 19 lbs naked baby. She's currently in an Evenflo Embrace. Obviously RF for now, and quite some time to come, but will eventually be FF. I'd like to get a seat for her, but would rather use a TF myself...

    Question Seat for 39.5 lbs 3 year old.

    My nephew is right around 39-40 lbs. He will be 3 in October so definitely still needs a harness, and will for a long time to come due to behavioural issues. I'm not certain of his torso height, but he is on the top useable slot on his AOE and has about 1/2" left so I'm guessing a 14.5" torso...

    Slots in Radian cover don't line up with shell

    DS is below the 2nd to top harness slots in the shell of the seat. However, the slot in the cover is just below the bottom of the slot in the shell. I keep trying to pull it up and back but it doesn't work. I don't remember it being like that before. It wouldn't be an issue, but he is above the...

    Toronto/GTA Tech?

    Is anyone a tech that lives in GTA? Or anyone know where I can find one? Preferably not downtown because DH refuses to drive down there and I don't drive. I am really having a hard time installing DS' Radian in our Aztek using the seatbelt. I think I finally got it in on the driver's side, but...

    Radian install questions

    I tried to install DS' Radian in the centre of my Aztek. First question: I had to twist the buckle stalk. I tried to do it 2 full turns but it keeps twisting back 1/4 turn. So it ends up 1.75 turns and is perpendicular to the side of the CR and parallel to the seat back. I pushed and pulled and...

    Seat for 39 lb 3 year old.

    DS is currently in a Radian. I planned to buy him a Regent when we move to the states (probably this summer) but now I'm thinking maybe a Nautilus would be better since he'll probably outgrow the Regent before it expires. I read some things about the Regent being discontinued :thumbsdown: so I...
