Dorel has changed their minimum FF height from 34" to 29" on the newest convertibles I put on the floor at BRU today. Seems they were a major leader in the safety pack by making the FF rules so strict before, and now that people are getting the RF to age 2 message, they'd really be in pace with that recommendation. But oh well, it's a tough market for consumer dollars, I'm sure they lost a lot of business among label-reading mamas who wanted to go straight from the infant seat to FF, and found the lenient Graco rules to be easier to swallow (still 20lbs on Graco, at least Evenflo and Dorel are 22).
I never was able to convince anyone that their kid wasn't 34" and therefore was illegal in a Dorel FF at 1. They'd just lie to me (yeah, dude, that kid is NOT that tall, I don't care what you say...) or get a confused look and say 'but it's one and 20...?' and buy the seat and use it wrong, anyway.
Also, it gets rid of the weird disjointedness of the same seats in Canada having a 32" inch RF limit, remember that a couple years back? Crazy times.
Ok, thanks for letting me ramble in my weird way (oh, their LATCH is in the FF slots, just like I complain about most Evenflos doing. :doh::soapbox::banginghead:
