    Going shopping today and need some quick advice

    First off we are in Canada. My cousin asked me to go carseat shopping with her today for a new seat for her son. He is currently in a graco infant seat that is due to expire in December (she borrowed it from her sister that she had since new and used for her two kids, acceptable given we know...

    expired seats question?

    When you see expired seats at a garage sale or swap meet etc do you mention to the seller that they are expired and they shouldn't be selling them to someone who might not know (considering they didn't know either) or considering they are usually going for cheap do you just buy it and discard it...

    TrueFit Harness slot heights?

    Does anyone know off hand the 4 harness slot heights on the TrueFit? I tried searching but couldn't find it. Thanks!

    I need a quick answer please!

    With the TrueFit the manual says you can only use the first two harness slots for rear facing then the 3 and 4th slot are for forward facing. Is this a mandatory rule or can you just use the slots following the regular rear facing outgrown rules (weight or 1")? Thanks for your quick help.

    Which seat would you recommend?

    My friends daughter is about to outgrow her infant seat and we are going seat shopping this weekend. We plan to look at the Complete Air, My Ride, and Radian XT for sure. Any others we should consider? She is keeping her rear facing and will be for quite some time! They have a 2005 Dodge...

    Should I turn him FF?

    My youngest DS just turned 4 at the end of April. He is currently riding RF in his Radian XT (our canadian version goes to 35lbs RF - it is an older version). He is hovering around 31-32lbs. He has been asking for the last week or so to turn around like his brother. I had always just hoped he...

    What would you do? two part question?

    Part one: My DS is happily rear facing in his Radian XT. He will be 4 in April and fully clothed in the middle of the day weighs just hovering around 32lbs and has been for quite a while. He is getting taller by the day though at 40.5" Our XT goes to 35lbs RF as we are in Canada and it was...

    keep with the booster or go back?

    DS will be 7 in February. He is about 43lbs and we just moved him from his Frontier harnessed to an Oobr in the beginning of October. He likes being in the booster and respects it uses it correctly etc. I am not uncomfortable with the idea of him using the booster I know it is just as safe as...

    Changing my mind (Britax or Radian) with Transport Canada Videos?

    Of course they didn't test the Frontier so it is hard to compare. When DS#2 hits 35lbs which should be around his 4th birthday or a shade after at first I was going to just move him into his brothers Frontier but am now wondering if he would be better left in the Radian XT FF when the time comes?

    Struggling with a decision?

    A few days a go our Oobr that we have been waiting for finally arrived. DS's stats are 6.8 yrs (7 in February) and about 42-43lbs and until the Oobr arrived he was happily harnessed in his Frontier. He has been riding in the Oobr now for 3 days. I am not sure how I feel about it. The belt...

    Booster training questions

    My son will be 7 in the beginning of February and is 42-43lbs and has been for a while now. He currently rides in a Frontier harnessed. He hasn't had any booster experience as of yet.

    Monterey install ?

    I bought a Monterey Booster as an extra booster. The only place it can go is in the third row of the van because it won't be used all the time just for playdates etc when transporting other kids. I have an 03 Odyssey and it doesn't have latch in the third row. I know that the latch saves you...

    Monterey on sale - FYI

    As much as I don't really like the store TJ Kiddies Website has the SK Monterey Boosters on sale for $99.99 canadian until Sept 30th. Granted I am already expecting them to be a 1 year old DOM more than likely but at that price that doesn't bother me!

    Spare booster?

    I am thinking about getting a spare high back booster for my van for the times when I have to drive one of my childs friends around. I can't really justify a Monterey as a seat that will not get much use unless it was a great deal I am thinking of the new Parkway? Any other suggestions (we are...

    Which would you use FF?

    Thinking ahead when DS outgrows the XT RF probably around the age of 4-4.25 years old. A) Turn the XT FF - use until he is ready for a booster, then move him into the Frontier as a booster only B) Turn the XT FF - use until he is ready for a booster at that point get a dedicated booster C)...

    Booster questions, not your own seat?

    I am curious to how to know what I need to do when putting another childs booster in my van when the Mom doesn't really know much and the manual is not attached? IE. Do I have to remove the headrest, can I latch it, can I tether it? Mainly directed at an older EB AOE that is now being used...

    Narrowest booster in Canada?
