Hi,
Last night my sister and I were at Babies R Us (St. Laurent in Ottawa, ON) and they were selling a FLOOR MODEL Evenflo carseat (the beige one with flowers on it). It is an older model, as I believe I saw it when my son was an infant........ 2 years ago. We asked to see the manager and told her it was illegal to sell a floor model, and she was snotty and said it wasn't. She stated that as long as they had the warranty (?) and all pieces for the seat, it was okay. So I said well how do you know its okay? Someone could do something to it as it has been a floor model for two freaking years. She says 'it is hard to tamper with a car seat, the only way you could do so was to smash it to the ground'. Ahem, I could go cut the straps at the back if I wanted to and noone would know. (Not that I would) I just can't believe that they are doing this..
Is it not illegal? I was 90% sure it was.... however, I'm not exactly sure the reasons to it.? I would NEVER, EVER buy a car seat from them. They had a sign that said "To return carseats, you need a recipet and a manual" UMMMMMM WHAT?!!!????!
