Yep, turns out that they're no longer planning to release it in CAnada.
I called them today and the lady called me back. She said they had been planning to release it and started the paperwork, and then realized how expensive it was and without a major retailer sponsoring it that it wasn't worthwhile.
So I asked her if I got a bunch of people together and we petitioned a major company to request the seat, if they'd consider it, and she said that there's a good chance they would. She was unaware of the limited number of HWH seats up here in CAnada.
So I know this is a new thread, but my plan is to start an online petition to have the Recaro convertible brought into Canada by a retailer. I need some time to do up the wording unless somebody else wants to - I'm thinking for now to leave it generic so the petition could be submitted to multiple retailers. And to have Recaro's North American contact information on it. If we could get a petition started, and then have all our friends locally and online sign the petition, then hopefully somebody like toys 'r us or sears or somebody else would be willing to sponsor the seat.
I can hope anyways...
But in the meantime, it means I don't have the dillemma anymore.
