So, the instructor seems really good and knows her stuff... we even had a great discussion on extended rearfacing!
Jewels: The program is called Buckle Up Bears and started in Ontario - Co-operators insurance company is the one that backs it here in Alberta. The instructor told us that MPI actually uses their program for their CRST classes as well.... so, if you are having difficulties getting a class in your area, what about calling Buckle up Bears and getting a class together through that?
The class is apparently the same class that SafeKids operates... only they take the 4 day course and condense it down into 2 days! My head hurts... I think it's from the flourescent lighting... or maybe it's from the dad in the class that says his baby is too big to rearface (22mo, 28lbs, 35in). I don't think he particularly liked me pointing out that Mikkel is still RF at that same age/weight and totally comfortable.
I did provide about 1/3 of the seats at the class and I have not really come across any surprises yet. We'll see how tomorrow goes.

Thanks for the info, I may end up looking into it!
