no didn't get his name sorry, just dialed transport canada and hit the options to get to motor vehicle issues - car seats etc.
the lady from health canada got back to me and asked me to email her a list of the car seats on sears' website and if anyone has seen any in stores that they are 100% sure are not compliant, to send them to her so she can address the issue.
from what I can see on their website, with what I understand about the new regulations anyway, the following are not compliant - can a tech double check this list for me before I send the email?

these are just the ones I can recognize that I think are noncompliant... correct? any others?
edit: while I had her on the phone, I also mentioned the fact that the media and parents are severely misinformed when it comes to the new regulations and tons of incorrect info is out there. not sure if she can do anything as they already did a press release (which the media obviously chose to just skim over and didn't take the time to understand and report accurately...) but I thought it was worth mentioning.
