    UK convertible seat choice

    I'm trying to help my parents buy a car seat to use when their grandchildren of various ages visit. Ages of kids are from birth to teens, but they have boosters. I believe they also have an infant-only seat, so I was thinking a convertible would be best. Budget is also a consideration. My...

    Fender Bender Canada

    Someone rear-ended dh last night. He was stopped at a light, and someone hit him from behind. He wasn't hurt, and it didn't look like there was any damage in the dark. Looking carefully this morning, the back bumper is slightly creased, and the trunk needs an extra hard slam to close properly...

    Which ff seat?

    My 3yo (32lb, wears 3/4T) is riding ff in a CA65. Now that the weather is finally warming up enough to not wear a high-neck fleece in the car, she is complaining that the straps are rubbing on her neck, and I'm seeing red lines. When she falls asleep (often) her head is dropping forward and it...

    Complete Air LX Latch routing

    I have a Complete Air 65 LX (Canada, 2012) and need to reroute the latch straps from RF to FF. I remember when I first installed it, I had change it from the FF path to the RF path and it wasn't intuitive, even with the manual. Now I'm having trouble reversing it, so I can install FF with latch...

    Is this safe?

    My 2.5yo (avg height and weight for age) is rf in a CA65 in the captain's seat of our Sienna. She has started getting very upset about being in the car, and will push her feet against the back of the captain's seat really hard. She rotates the back of her seat so far that it touches the back of...

    DD is 2.5yo, average height and weight. She rides RF in a Complete Air (the Canadian model with the reclining base and no-rethread harness) in the captain's seat of our Sienna van.

    Help! I'm in the middle of a car seat install, and I'm stuck! I'm trying to install a 2012 Complete Air 65 LX in the captain's chair, middle row of an 06 Sienna.

    Complete Air LX

    I just bought this seat (still in the box in the trunk). I need to check how well it installs in our van. Other than that consideration, is there anything I should know about the seat that might make me regret the purchase? What bugs you about using the seat that I might not discover till I...

    Convertible for quick and easy install

    Can anyone recommend a convertible carseat that is quick and easy to install. I'm trying to figure out if I can plan a carpool that requires me to take out the convertible seat every day (or if I'm lucky 2-3 times per week). I'd need to reinstall it the same day, regardless of the weather, and...

    Which seat while waiting to buy 2012?

    I'm waiting for the 2012 TFP to hit the stores. But, dd is basically too tall for her SR35. Depending on what diaper she is wearing (disposable, regular cloth, or super-stuffed cloth) she sometimes is incredibly close to 1" from the top of the shell. I haven't used a ruler, but she does get...

    Does anyone know when the 2012 compliant True Fit Premier will be available in Canada? Is it going to be sold at TRU? Anywhere else?

    Where to buy TFP and MR?

    I'm looking to buy either the True Fit Premier or the My Ride 65 in the Toronto area. I thought they'd be available in stores to check them out in my van, but I'm having trouble tracking them down. Walmart's website has the MR for online purchase, but not in store. The TFP is no longer at TRU...

    Convertible recommendations, please!

    DD is 17mos, and is just about too tall for her snugride 35. I need a convertible for ERF, but forward-facing isn't such an issue as I have a Nautilus to hand down to her when she goes ff. Our only car is an 06 Sienna, and right now she has to ride behind the driver's seat in the captain's chair...

    Booster and convertible questions

    I have two questions about boosters. 1) Is there a booster available in Canada that will fit in the back-row centre seat in a 2006 Sienna. The rigid buckle stalks make the gap really small, and my Graco turboboosters don't fit. I'm trying to get 3 boosters in the back row. 2) My 10yo is husky...

    Question UK Booster Seats

    We are visiting the UK in a couple of weeks. I have a child who legally needs to be in a booster seat because he is below the age and height requirements. But, he is heavier than the maximum weight listed for all the booster seats I am finding. I thought I'd just buy a Graco turbo-booster to be...

    Scenera in Canada

    Anyone know if I can buy a Cosco Scenera at Zellers? Or where else I can get a good deal on it? I need it for Monday (preferably before, so I can practice installing it), so a bricks and mortar store is best. I saw it at Walmart for $75 - is that a decent price?
