    Ok, my DD is in a booster in my sitter's vehicle. The sitter drives an 08 Mustang. Currently, we have the Graco Turbo in LB mode in there, but I'd like something that fits the contours of the vehicle seat better. I bought a Cosco TopSide (I'm a Canadian expat currently in the US but my visa...

    Installation tips/tricks Nauti in a 2014 Mustang

    Ok, looking for tips and tricks to attempt to get a Nauti installed in a 2014 Mustang. I can normally get this seat in with some foul language and assistance from DH, but this is my sitter's vehicle and the issue would appear to be the location of the female buckle stalk and how far forward it...

    Question MyRide w/ 36" RF height limit?

    Ok, someone on a FB board posted a picture of the sticker on the Canadian MR purchased at WalMart which gives an indication of a max 36" ("whose height is 16-36" according to the sticker) height restriction for RF. I was under the impression Graco followed the 1" rule. Does anyone have a *NEW*...

    Question Anyone know if there is a way to flag products on Amazon.CA?

    Ok, so I was browsing amazon.ca today and it would appear there are a couple of boosters on there that we not CMVSS compliant seats. So, does anyone know if I'm just out of the loop and they are compliant (Ferrari booster in particular) and if not, how to report it? I didn't have a chance to...

    Question Has anyone dealt with seat replacements and TD MelocheMonnex recently?

    Ok, so I want to know if anyone has dealt with these guys, especially since regs changed. Our car was hit n run last week. Damage is at $3500 initial estimate. I had a HB TB and my classic BV installed using UASi in the car. TD's usual gig is to depreciate the seat up to 50% depending on age...

    Vent Ignorance is Bliss, right?

    Ok, so I'm frustrated right now. On one of the local FB groups, someone posted asking where/how to dispose of carseats not meeting 2012 Regs. I responded, saying pull the harness, pull the cover, write crashed on it and smash it up with a sledge if you have some pent up frustration to work...

    Question Any suggestions? "Biting" CA straps

    My friend has her near 3yo FF in a CA65. He's complaining and his neck is red from the straps biting into him. Mom called Dorel to see if they had covers, but no dice. I hesitate to say yes to anything because he is FF and the crash dynamics are very different than RF. Suggestions or any...

    Question Diono Angle Adjuster

    Anyone else's angle adjuster "peeling" where the harness splitter plate slides under the seat? My 21mo old, 27lb DS rides in the seat on the third harness slot. The splitter runs just under the bend in the seat when the harness is tight. I'm a loosen/tighten person and didn't notice until I...

    Question SK Harness Adjuster Failure

    Ok, I know this is an old issue, but its resurfaced in my back yard. My friend recently replaced her seats with 2 SK RXT's after a crash. DOM's are mid/late 2011 if I'm not mistaken. The one is having the harness adjuster slippage issue - pull to tighten and it doesn't stay tight. I thought...

    My heart was warmed :)

    Friends of mine came to visit the other day and told me some news that made me very happy! Dad was driving through Calmar, AB and got pulled over. The police were checking his CR install, even though the seat was unoccupied! Those of you in AB (yes, where we're too redneck to like to be told...

    Question Skinny like A Radian, but cheaper than a Radian?

    What else is available in the Canadian market that is skinny like a Radian, but not as pricey? I'm thinking CA, but how does the Maestro compare too? Need a seat for a 41", 40lb 4.5yo.

    Question Is this the truth?

    Ok, so today my child care provider informed me of something I find interesting. She claims she got together with some registered dayhomes in the area to have a chat about what they do about certain scenarios. The big one that came up was carseats. Apparently, the registered dayhomes do...

    Question Opinion question

    So, my daughter has JUST hit the 40lb mark. She's riding in a FRXT. Do I switch to a seatbelt install, despite my preference for the tightness of the LATCH install simply because she's 40lbs some of the time, or should I wait until I know that she's 40lbs all the time, kwim? I'm well aware...

    Question Pics? - RF RN install in 09/10 Ram Crew Cab

    Does anyone have any pictures of a RF Radian install in a 09/10 Dodge Ram Crew Cab they can share? I was checking them out, but I am curious how upright others have been able to get their install. The adjuster seems to sit in just the wrong spot for me to get an install I liked, but again...
