    Hi there - Myself and a couple of friends are looking get the highback Turbos with Safety Surround from Target and I was wondering if any of the folks that have had a Target open near them for awhile (ours just opened) have ever seen it go on sale.

    Vacation in Australia

    I've got a friend that is travelling to Australia this winter with three little kids and she's trying to figure out if she can just bring and use her Canadian restraints. I think they are going for three months. I've done a bit of searching on here and I saw conflicting advice about whether it...

    I'm sorry if this has already been discussed, I did a search and didn't see anything. Are we getting the "safety surround" Turbo booster up here? Quasee mentioned "the new Turbo" in another post so I was wondering if that was what she was talking about and I missed seeing the info about it being...

    Key tidbit about changing/replacing a Radian harness

    I'm posting this because I had a heck of a time trying to change my Radian harness in the past week and a half and I searched all over looking for info and never found anything about the problem I was actually having. I also posted looking for help and got no directly helpful responses. Long...

    How to get buckle tongues onto Radian XTSL harness straps

    I'm replacing the harness straps on my Radian XTSL and I can't for the life of me get the buckle tongues onto the straps. The loops on the end of the strap are too thick. I actually cut the old straps off because I couldn't get the tongues off the old strap either. I mistakenly thought putting...

    Radians installed with UAS loosening - Canadian experience

    I've been following these other threads about problems with the Radian coming loose when installed with the super-latch version of the UAS, either on its own or because kids can kick the tilt-lock loose when rear-facing: http://www.car-seat.org/showthread.php?t=148783...

    Crazy new Radian harness covers

    Apologies if this has already been discussed - I couldn't find anything. I was at a clinic yesterday and saw the craziest harness covers on a new Radian XT - see pic below. Sorry the picture is rotated wrong, it is fine on my computer but wouldn't upload properly. The Dad assured me they came...

    Orbit G2 infant seat - will no longer be dual certified

    When I saw this announcement linked on carseatblog.com http://www.orbitbaby.com/en/car-seat-weight-rating/ I got a little confused about how the dual certification of this seat would work since there was no similar announcement on their Canadian website. So, I've exchanged a few emails with...

    New Canadian Pediatric Society car seat info

    I just noticed that the Canadian Pediatric Society has updated their page on car seats on the Caring for Kids website: http://www.caringforkids.cps.ca/keepkidssafe/CarSeatSafety.htm I'm straining my brain trying to remember which bits of this info weren't there before, but I know that I wasn't...

    Expiry Dates

    Ok, so I'm sure this had been discussed in the past, but not that I've seen. Something came up about an expiry date in another thread and it lead to me taking a closer look at the expiry table on the TC website...

    RFing head excursion issues?

    I gave a presentation on car seats at a baby show today and right near the end someone asked me if anything was being done to resolve the issue of too much forward movement of the head of a newborn in a collision. I clarified very precisely with her that she was talking about a rear-facing...

    Recycle car seats - any new programs?

    I just did a search and couldn't find any Canadian programs (there was something about Legacy Health in Vancouver, but it is based in Portland so I didn't quite get that), but I was wondering if anyone is aware of any resources out there (anywhere in Canada) for recycling car seats. Thanks!

    Need GOOD car seat info in French

    My son goes to a French daycare and every month they give us a copy of the magazine "bien grandir". I almost never read it but today I happened to flip through and was excited to see an article on car seats... until I read it. As always with these things there is some good info, but I was...

    Does the Britax Advocate fit newborns?

    A couple expecting their first child came to our clinic with an Advocate yesterday. We installed it but I was very clear with them that I didn't think the seat would fit their newborn child. In the end I think they were considering going and buying a True Fit that they would then use in...

    overhead shield seats in Canada

    I just learned yesterday (from the general car seat forum) that this type of seat was still for sale in the US up until very recently. Can somebody tell me when they stopped selling them here? I've seen a few recently and I automatically assume they are expired, but now I'm wondering if there...

    Infant bucket seats that work with Peg Perego stroller

    I'm having a little heart attack at the moment because I just learned that Peg Perego infant seats expire after 5 years. That means that my friend's newborn must be riding around in an expired seat. I am seriously kicking myself for not asking them about the expiry months ago when I first...

    Possible Dorel harness issue - link to another thread

    I'm just posting this link here because sometimes all I have time to read is the Canadian/International forum and I rarely make it over to the "carseat chat" forum these days. I thought there might be others like me that would want to know about this. http://car-seat.org/showthread.php?t=116732
