    UAS usability study.

    http://www.tc.gc.ca/roadsafety/tp/tp14702/pdf/tp14702e.pdf I've been able to identify CRS A as a Marathon, B as an Intera but I can't figure out C. Any guesses. I found it interesting that the Marathon's UAS connectors were most likely to be used correctly but the top tether was the most...

    New Radian Safestop arrived today.

    Just thought I'd let everyone know that my new safestops arrived today. Good to see that PJM's registration system seems to be working. Was wondering though about Katrintrin's thread regarding Canadian Tire and PJM Distribution... If PJM doesn't distribute to Canadian Tire why is PJM...

    Cosco Arriva with "plastic" Buckle?!?

    I went to check out our new Walmart this morning and of course had to check the car seats. I was looking at the Cosco Arriva infant seat and noticed a new (to me) style of buckle release on the harness system. It's more of a lever action than a push button, you pushed at the top part of the...

    Exceptions for travelers?

    :confused: Does the US not have exceptions for travellers? Here we allow travellers to comply with the laws of their home regarding child restraint. If a non Canadian resident is using a non Canadian seat that is okay as long as it complies with the laws where they live, stupid IMO, but I...

    Has anyone out there noticed the harness straps are just a bit wider than the buckle tongue it goes through? If you have and you have an older Radian (my DOM is 08/06) are your harness starting to wear in this area? Belinda

    Intera in HBB mode.

    I'm not sure that this has been noted here yet or not but... Did you know that the Intera when used in HBB mode requires a high vehicle seat back? If the middle of the head support is above the vehicle seat back it's not supposed to be used. I was checking out the Apex at Sears and since the...
