Transport Canada telling people no restrictions on selling seats?

Someone just told me that they contacted TC about selling a 2009 seat and were told there are no restrictions? Where is the 2012 compliant info that I can point them towards?

Whoever they talked to probably just didn't know what was going on & didn't look up the info. As *I* understand it, TRANSPORT CANADA themselves don't have regulations against selling non-compliant car seats. They only regulate the standards of seats being manufactured currently. It's HEALTH CANADA that has the law about not selling non-compliant seats. TC should know about the HC law, but technically speaking, it's not a TC regulation so maybe that's what the person was talking about?

... But please correct me if I'm wrong :eek:.

Long story short, the toll free number isn't staffed by people trained about the specifics of child restraints. Keeanh is correct though that it is a health Canada act prohibiting the sale of non-compliant seats.

That being said, Transport Canada does have information on their website regarding this, so perhaps you could refer your friend to the website?
