Carbed Availability

Hello!

My friend had a baby in August who has a cleft palate (Pierre Robyn Sequence). She's had airway issues and has been hospitalized since. She is finally ready to come home (after a procedure to stabilize her airway). Unfortunately though she is not passing the car seat test. They have suggested a carbed. She found the Cosco Ultimate Dream Ride but I'm unsure if it's available in Canada. I called Cosco and she gave me a number for Dorel distribution in Canada but the girl there had no idea what I was talking about - but transferred me to someone else where I had to leave a message. I read on another thread that you can rent them - I going to do a search for that but if anyone has information about that it would great. Also, she may just want to purchase one - what brands are available and where can you purchase them?

Thanks so much for your help!

I purchase them regularly from Allegro Medical. I always keep one or two in my basement (I run a foundation for kids with Spinal Muscular Atrophy). Allegro seems to be the best place for purchasing them. You can usually google for a coupon code or free shipping or something. I can come back tomorrow and help you look when I have more time.

I'm not sure what the laws are in Canada for these types of restraints, but maybe some of our Canadian techs can help with that. I'm also not sure if Allegro ships to Canada. Might be worth a phone call.

The options for car beds are getting slimmer. The Cosco Dream ride will be able to be used for the longest amount of time, until 20 pounds.

I'd look to see if there are any special needs techs in the area. They may know where beds are available. I'm surprised the hospital doesn't have these. Might be worth her while to contact other area hospitals - especial Children's Hospitals and pediatric rehab facilities.
