where to try seats in Van?

mamoomorgan · Apr 3, 2011

So my little girls are close to outgrowing our current seats. One is in a MA and the other is in oops... I just forgot the name! It's some kinda cheapy thing I bought from Wal Mart for our most recent Mexico trip. We also have a TruFit but they both hate it, they say it hurts their bums. Soo... we live in rural BC and only have Wal Mart, Zellers (an hour away) and Canadian Tire. We're going to Vancouver in June and I'd like to try out and maybe buy (or order later, not sure how to bring home two extra seats) seats at that point, where's best to look?

The girls are:
Imogen: 4.5 yo 39ish pounds, top slots with a bit of room in a 2006 MA
Enna: 6 yo 42ish pounds and barely fitting in the 2006 MA

I'm thinking Fronteir.... opinions?

TIA

TJs on SW Marine has a vehicle seat in the carseat section, and their selection is quite good. They also have an online store.

What vehicle are you putting the seats into? Are you keeping DD1 harnessed?

Frontier is a great seat, but larger. I love it though. My DD never complains about it (well, other than now she thinks she should be in a booster...um, NO! lol). Both DD's should fit fine in it.

Nauti is good...fits slender kids well and has a long expiration in LBB mode (9yrs). This one you should be able to find in your local stores to check out.

If you're ready to move DD1 into a dedicated booster, I'd suggest the TB thats available at most of your local retailers. Other options would be Montery (this is the one my DD wants and fits her well, even though she's just shy of booster qualification) or a Parkway with the SG clip.

We have a Toyota Sequoia (8 passenger) and I want to keep them both harnessed if possible. They're both definitely thin with no bums (hence the TF issue). My preferred seating location for them is second row drivers side and middle but I know it's unlikely I'll find seats to fit there. The second row passenger side needs to be clear so we can flip it to access the third row.

Thanks again,
