Can you buy any wedges to go under carseats in Canada to recline them more? Or is the pool noodle route the only way?

Yeah she doesn't want to do the towel anymore. Its for a scenera and Omega. What are the rules on pool noodles? Max three taped together or does it change with the seat?

Some boutique stores do sell something that is like a noodle but it's more dense. There's the diono one that I was able to find: http://www.buybuybaby.com/store/pro...r-seat-positioner/1040144979?categoryId=32029
And then there is this one:

There have been 2 occasions where 3 noodles weren't sufficient and the triangular one was.
It would be nice if they made noodles with a bit denser foam, but these 2 items are safe to use to get the right angle if you need to.
(These are US sites I linked because I was aiming to show the product and not trying to find where to buy, lol)

They are very lightweight, essentially a dense noodle. I have zero concern about these - they don't compress or shift the way noodles do, and if they were less expensive I would probably keep extras on hand for those cases where seats are hard to get reclined enough.
I used one with Jillian's AO eons ago and I gave it away to a family awhile ago when a noodle pyramid wasn't enough to get their baby trend reclined enough.
Yep, available in Canada, and are safe - they're just like a noodle. (The only exception being - the seat must allow the use of noodles or towels to increase the recline, and they can't be used to over-recline the seat.)
When we look at things that we use to adjust the angle of a car seat, things like rolled towels and noodles are used because they're lightweight and can generally be put in the right size and are easy to find - and free or cheap. But I've used things like blankets, coats, etc before. What's important is that it's not going to be a projectile in a collision and will let the seat sit at the right angle and be properly tightened. :thumbsup:
