Apex 65 & toddler insert (Canada) - update post 5
I was at our BRU tonight and they have the apex 65 now so I got a chance to play with it a bit and read the manual.
I was specifically looking for the wording about the toddler insert being mandatory at all times since a few of us here have heard that.
So the wording in the manual is that "seat pad must be used at all times" - it's the very last warning in the front warning section before any of the instructions are gone into.
Now, the diagram labeling parts of the seat calls the toddler insert a body pillow and in brackets says on some models. I didn't see a seat pad labeled though, so started to wonder if they were just referring to the cover itself, and right now I think that's what they're referring to. I'm going to start a thread in the main forum a little later after kids are in bed asking about their wording...
The reason I think seat pad is referring to the cover itself though, is under the cleaning section, it talks about cleaning the seat pad, and shows removing the entire cover.
So I wrote the model # and all the info down from the seat in the store and I'm going to call Dorel on Monday, but right now, to me anyways, it looks like the wording is that the seat pad must be used - ie the seat cover, and the body pillow aka toddler insert isn't mentioned at all.
