    RFing seat on Schoolbus?

    My bestie just trained to start driving a schoolbus and her 17mo DD rides RFing at home and she would like her to continure RFing. She was told by her trainer that only infant seats can go RFing and she's not sure if she meant in general or on a bus. Does anyone have any experience with this...

    MR65 Question re: Strap Covers

    A friend of mine received her MR65 from BRU and is complaining that the straps rub against her son's neck. Do they not come with strap covers/comfort pads? My 2011 model did, but the pics online seem to not show anything. Can anyone confirm this?

    Certifying a US seat for use in Canada

    I did a quick search but it seemed to pull up anything and everything BUT what I needed. I know the answer to this but there seems to be a fire station who is "certifying" seats from the US for use in Canada in SSM. Can some Canadian techs chime in on the absolute absurdity of this claim so...

    Next Britax Sale?

    I need to get another Frontier since we need to outfit 2 cars with car seats and we're one short. I have a MR65 that my daughter will ride in, rear facing of course but I was going to buy a 2nd Frontier in pink and just let my son sit in it for a year or so until my daughter is ready to FF...

    DS is back RFing!!!

    With my sister's help I managed to get an acceptable install in the center seating position of our X5. DS had been forward facing since December because I couldn't get the seat to move less than 1". There is still SOME movement, but certainly not 1" so we are thrilled to have him RFing again...

    OMG... I can't believe I did this!

    We drove home from downtown (about 40 minutes on the Gardiner/DVP/404) and my 2 year old was completely LOOSE in her car seat. I pulled the slack "out the back" and gapped out on actually pulling the adjuster. I can't believe I was so absent minded and that my 2 year old daughter was about...

    2003 X5, RFing Radian nightmare.

    DH decided he would trade in our super-uncool F150 which was fantastic with our car seats for a slightly more cool 2003 X5. I can not for the life of me get a tight install on my RFing Radian XT. My son is nearly 3.5 so I wouldn't feel terrible about FF him but I hate the thought of having to...

    I got the ink out of my MR cover!

    My daughter decided to color all over the pink parts of her MR65. I didn't think the ink would come out but I used the laundry soap by Pink Solution and it is 100% as new on the fabric with a couple of sketchy parts on the white warning labels. Whatever... good enough for me!

    Does Insurance Cover Seat Replacement?

    I just switched our insurance to Meloche Monnex from TD and I specifically asked about car seat replacement in a crash. They said that it would have to go through homeowner's insurance because the seats are not permanently attached to the vehicle. Is this something that varies between...

    Graco MyRide Covers?

    MyRide Crotch Buckle Position

    Does anyone else notice the crotch buckle position is really far from their kid's crotch? I remember thinking the distance was ridiculous when I tried my 12lb 3 month old in it and returned it. I now have (and LOVE) one for my DD who is 20months and I STILL find she needs a rolled up shirt...

    A Latch Max Question

    I know that the stated latch limits are the weight of the child only, but there is a significant difference in the seat weight of a Scenera vs a Radian. Is there a buffer that I should consider when using latch? It seems bizzarre that a child can outgrow a seat the SECOND they are over XXlbs...

    Vancouver Techs

    A very dear friend of mine is having issues installing her Radian in her 2010 RAV4. She has sent me videos and has even enlisted the help of the local fire hall. She's still not happy with the install and I suggested I might put her in contact with a tech in her area. She's in Vancouver but...

    Question Volunteering at a SJA clinic this Saturday!

    I'm excited to participate in my first clinic this Saturday... any newbie tips from the experienced techs? What can I expect? I need 2 clinics and 10 seats to complete my certification, so I'm assuming I will have to be closely supervised.
