DS2 had a rescheduled well baby/shots appointment today. While there I weighed DS1 who is 2 1/2, on June 3rd he was 28lbs, on Monday on my mom's bathroom scale he was 28.5lbs. Well today he was 30lbs on the button. His RN only rear faces to 30lbs. :crying: I don't want to turn him forward facing yet and have no money to spring for a newer seat (I bought his current seat in Jan) DH will be happy, he's been nagging me since last year to turn his seat around :rolleyes:

If it was manufactured after September '08 it should RF to 40. SKJP retroctively increased RF limits in 2008. So some seats still say 35 but RF to 40. What is the DOM & Model?

Did that include the Canadian radians?

Op, did you get your radian at a clearance price, or was it a brand new one? All the new radians in canada rf to 40 or 45 pounds, same as the states, but I am not sure whether they did the retroactive thing in Canada.

Wanted to add, double checked the Canadian skjp site. I don't see the retroactive press release, but there is the press release for the new rf limits.

This was released September of 2009. The new seats have manufacture dates from October 2009 I think (at least in the states).

DOM is 07/09, Radian Premier. I'm in Canada, since that makes a difference, plus on the seat and in the manual it sadly says to only 30lbs rear face.

ETA: Bought it at clearance price.

Found this on justmommies.com:

Sunshine Kids Radian Premier $330
THS: 18"
Rear facing 5 to 45lbs and up to 44"
Forward facing 22 to 65lbs
{Pre-2010 models had 30lb rf'ing limit. Check your model to confirm height and weight limits.}


I would still call SKJP to see if they did the retroactive weight increase for RF.
