    Question FF Seat tipping with seat belt install

    Lots of info: I'm in Canada, but I don't think that should influence this (which is why I'm posting in the general forum) - 2007 Kia Sportage, driver's side back seat install - Harmony Defender 360 in harness mode - Selina is 6 yrs old, about 55lbs and 49" height; harness is at the top with...

    News FYI: Harmony Defender in Canada

    About a month ago, we realized it was time to make a change - our not-so-little girl is at the top of her harness. We decided on the Harmony Defender and tried to patiently wait for it to come back in stock at Walmart - it was supposed to arrive mid-March. That date came and went and another...

    Question Dangerous car seat use; who do I call?

    I walk through an apartment complex twice a day on my school route and I've noticed a car that has a suspicious looking install on a FF Britax seat. However, I chose to give them the benefit of the doubt, thinking it was possibly a bucket seat that was simply placed FF when not in use. The seat...

    Question Combination Seats - which one?

    I've just realized that my almost 6 year old is probably too tall for her current FF seat (Sunshine Kids/Diono Radian) but I do not want to put her in a booster yet, so I'm looking at the Combination Seats. Questions: - are there any seats other than the Britax ones that have a high harness...

    Question Combination seat for less than $200?

    We are considering buying a combination seat for MIL's car. DD will be 5 in Feb, currently 44.5" total height. Last weight recorded was 44# in August (will weigh tomorrow & update). She is more leg than torso, but I do not know shoulder height. Are there any Canadian FF/booster combination...

    Question Hard shell above head in Radian?

    Canadian here, but US ppl can help I'm sure. I recently spoke to a Diono rep (here in Canada) as my daughter is approaching the limits of her 2010 SK Radian Premier (equiv Radian 80) for RF. Today is her 4th birthday & I'm so happy we've kept her so safe this long! Anyways, they told me that...

    Question Coming to grips with FF?

    My daughter will be 4 yrs old in February. She is approaching the limits of her 2010 SK Radian for RF, closer by height than weight but I haven't actually weighed her in her winter gear (and honestly have no plans to). Selina has expressed an interest in FF, in the past and mostly because her...

    Question Hard shell above head: SK RN (2010)?

    I have a 2010 year Sunshine Kids Radian Premier, RF with an angle adjuster. While stuck going 15km/h on the highway on Saturday, I thought I'd take a moment to re-read the manual (I was a passenger!!) and see if there was any mention of torso height or shell above head height for RF. There is a...

    Question Bracing RF in 07 Kia Sportage? + RF tether Q

    DD turned 3 yesterday & today we went through our first-ever (including the pre-child years) police car seat check. They almost missed me, actually, becuz DD rides RF behind the driver's seat. Anyways... DD is RF in a 2010-purchased Radian Premier (comp to Radian 80 in US), behind the driver's...

    Question Cover for Evenflo Embrace 5?

    Found in storage our old Evenflo Embrace 5 bucket seat. Cut the harness, though I'm keeping the buckles for other non-car-seat uses (backpack, play) and threw out the seat as its expired. But I kept the cover, including the infant padding & canopy. This seat was part of a travel system - I am...

    Vent Wrong in so many ways... FF bucket seat.

    Today I stopped at the library to pick up a couple books. Didn't notice if there was a car next to me when I went in. Got my books, headed back to the car, and noticed the car parked next to me had 2 child seats in the back. I literally did a double take: they had a bucket seat FF!!!!! No top...

    Question Inexpensive FF recommendation please

    Today I babysat for my babysitter's daughter (yes, a little confusing). I had thought that I might take the kids to a splash park or the library so asked mom to leave H's seat. She brought it in my house and it freaked me right out - I can see that it meets the criteria, but it's a piece of...

    Question 2 year old & car seat battles

    Selina is 27 months old, RF in an SK Radian (since 4 months old). The last month or so she has been creating major issues for me mostly, but recently started pulling this behavior with her dad as well (on days I'm not home). Its not everytime, but enough that I dread going anywhere in the car...

    Question Canadian Manufacturer but seat not available in Canada?

    Read this in my facebook feed tonight: http://www.iihs.org/news/rss/pr101311.html "Among booster manufacturers, Harmony Juvenile Products continues to be a standout. All 5 seats the Canadian company currently makes, counting the Dreamtime in both modes, are Best Bets." But only the LiteRider...

    News Baby survives crash that kills parents, aunt

    Its not very often I've heard about a baby sustaining significant injuries in a crash, but this must have been a doozy. Obviously she is lucky to be alive, and I feel terrible for her family, having lost their loved ones on Christmas eve. http://tinyurl.com/2ev8zk2 Melissa

    Contact Info?

    Just a thought.... would it be possible to create a sticky with the contact info for all manufacturers? I know some of them have their info easily found on their websites, but just having it all in one place saves going searching for it. I'm thinking one in the "General" forum with the US...

    Question Cracked the "foot" on my RN base

    We've been moving our RN in and out of a lot of vehicles lately. Oh the joy of car shopping. However, on the weekend we moved the seat into MIL's vehicle to drive to SIL's house for the day. I was the last person to get in (DD was even strapped in before me!) and as I was climbing into the back...

    Question Middle back seat belt in '07 Kia Sportage?

    I am going to test drive one of these tomorrow but I looked at it briefly the other day. It has a strange middle seat belt and I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with using it for any car seat installs? The shoulder portion comes out of the ceiling, which is fine, but where it attaches...

    News Price matching!

    I just found out this week that Zellers and Walmart will price match identical items advertised by their competitors (ie BRU). I was specifically looking at a baby gate, but I assume it would also be true on car seats. I'm not sure if BRU price matches as well (so you could get the TF from BRU...
