How much does the longer crotch strap help with buckling in in the radian, ever since DS1 got to the point he didn't need a change every couple hrs, we've left him in a cloth diaper when going out, and that makes his butt pretty big, and makes it difficult to get the Radian buckled. It's already in the furthest slot, how much do you think ordering hte longer crotch strap would help with buckling.

I've also just started noticing the straps folding over more too, which sucks, and is a real annoyance when DH is strapping him in, which is almost always, because I then have to check for straps being twisted, because he always forgets.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but the longer crotch strap isn't available to Canadian's. Apparently the seat doesn't meet CMVSS standards with the longer strap - or at least that's what some of the members here have been told. It could just be a case that they haven't tested it to CMVSS standards with a longer buckle. :shrug-shoulders:

The wider buckle tongues you should be able to get from PJM distributions though I think... I got mine through my emails with Russ, but that was number of months ago and they're trying to have PJM deal with CDN concerns now from what I've been told and read online.
