canadian car seats in the USA

alake · Aug 6, 2010

I am currently living in Canada, but my Boyfriend and I have recently purchased a beach house in Miami Fl. We are going to be moving down there full time in the early New Year. I am wondering, we have two cars down there to use. Would you be ok with taking the seats down now, or should we just purchase three seats to keep at the beach house to use while we are there. The girls are going to be spending every holiday they can down with us. Any advice. I would purchase two Britax 85, and a Radian of some kind, if I were to buy them now.

Seats are usually cheaper and there are more options for them in the U.S.. If you don't intend to use them in Canada, I think I would buy them down there when you get there.

The children who will use them live in Canada? They'll only be down there for visits? If they're only visitors to the U.S., they'd have the option of traveling with their own seats, but if you plan on leaving seats in the U.S. for them, I'd buy U.S. seats.

Just my :twocents:

Do you need seats for the plane? How old and heavy are they?

If they're 7, 5, and 4 I'd probably just have seats in each place. If they're 6 months, 2, and 4, I'd probably travel with my seats to use onboard.
