Am I living under a rock here? I was helping a friend replace some crashed seats (Darn New Years Eve drivers ) and she wanted a new Britax Boulevard to replace her crashed one. We went and looked at the seats in store and I was all excited to see the new G4 models on the shelf. Until I read the big sticker on the back that says that rearfacing tethering is now mandatory. I read the manual and it is clear as day in multiple spots, the tether is absolutely required both RF and FF. Now I am generally pretty pro-RF tethering myself, but her vehicle has advanced airbags and no real good place to Swedish tether (and honestly I am wary of that now due to vehicle manufacturers saying it is not allowed), and it is such a small doorway that aussie style doesn't work at all. I can imagine the tether may not be long enough to reach in some vehicles too, with TAs on tailgate sils and ceilings... Not to mention vehicles without TA in all seating locations!
I am kind of thrown for a loop here, because I didn't realize it was possible for a seat in Canada to require RF tethering.
This is going to cause a lot of problems, no?
