Question Does anyone know if the Britax Regent will be available in Canada anytime? Are they too big for a car?

We have Britax Marathon for our twin 3/1/2 year girls (which we love in the Cowmooflage pattern!!!!) and my parents will eventually need pick up seats for them too.

I am hoping the Regent will eventually be available in Canada and maybe we can buy those and move the Marathons to their car.

Can the Regents be put into cars btw? or are they so huge they need van space? We are curretnly in A Subaru Forester but will need to buy a new car in the next 2 years and I like to stick with something no bigger than an Subaru Outback. Hoping the Regents would work since they could be used longer and look so comfy.

The Regents fit into cars fine, but they've been discontinued I think, so I doubt they'll be making a northernly trip. :(

Besides their discontinuation, the other problem with the Regents is their 80lb weight limit. Carseats in Canada (other than special needs ones) are limited to a 65lb maximum weight limit, so if the Regent had ever come up here, it would have had a 65lb weight limit too. With that restriction, I don't think it would have been a great seller (despite the fact its harness height is much taller than other seats.)

Have you looked at the Britax Frontier and Graco Nautilus? They would both make excellent next seats for your girls (and they're both available here right now. :thumbsup:)

As others have written, you almost certainly will not get 80# Regents -- but the good news is that if your daughters are 3.5 and still fit in Marathons by height and weight, the seats currently available in Canada will easily get them to a safe age/size to booster.
