Well a bit late in the game for me to be tossing in my:twocents:, but here I am also a canadian, with a DS just 1 week shy of his 5th birthday, and we happen to have 2 very nice and definately still useful hbturbos sitting around not being used...admittedly not nearly as nice or safe as the parkway, but a decent booster none the less. That said, we have made the choice to break Canadian law by keeping our 50lb DS harnessed in our Radian, which is only stickered to 48lbs. I plan to continue using the Radian, until he outgrows it by height, or weighs 65lbs. For me, it is not as much about the law, which in this case, as in yours I really feel is a technicality. There is nothing about my Radian that is any different than the 65lb ones, just like there is nothing about a canadian car that would make a us husky unsafe to use in it...it is all beauacracy. For me I am less concerned about breaking the law, than I am about my child's safety. I know we all have different ideas about what is safe, I see every single one of my son's friends riding in boosters, many of them backless, and to me, that is their business, but my business is keeping my child as safe as I can. For me, that means 'breaking' the law (but just a tiny bit
) Just another canadian perspective...and yes, if that Radian hadn't shown up on the Canadian market at just the right time, you would have seen me hopping the border and coming back with a big new Regent, I just didn't feel my DS was safe in the booster, it was the kyle miller video that got me thinking about it, but this was the clincher,
