I wondered if anybody knew of any programs in canada in ontario to get free or reduced cost carseats. The infant and child safety association used to do it locally to me, but they lost their funding and no longer do. I have a just turned 10 month old who is in need of a convertible car seat, she is 24lbs and tall not sure how tall though.
We currently have no income and typically travel 3-5 times a week in cars, with a suport worker who drives us places and someone who drives us to church...and realized we couldn't buckle dd into her carseat and when weiged she was over the weightlimit(her snugride passed down from her sister is only good till 20lbs 26 inches.)
Alternatively we would be happy to make use of a carseat from a family here who has one not needed anymore, but that is a bit more local as I would be limited to anybody who had one who didn't need it in cambridge kitchner waterloo, or could get to hamilton or toronto on the bus.
I have called my community outreach worker who helps with finding resources but they don't have any options for us since the infant and child safety program closed. I have called the police and fire department, and public health. I ahve called social services(welfare) and local salvation army and churches without any luck .
Thanks for any ideas or suggestions.
