I don't know if anyone has seen this chart, but I just found it, and thought it might be good to pass on!!

I've never seen this before, and from what I understood about BC (atleast) was that it was only required until they were 40#.....but I guess its actually a minimum of 6 years AND 40#......until of course they get to July 2008 and the new booster seat law comes into Effect!!

Just kinda excited about this....

This thread provides a fairly comprehensive overview of all of Canada. Since Canada has a proper use law, child restraint laws already go above and beyond what's just listed provincially...

The BC section is both incorrect and incomplete on that document. I can't speak for any of the other provinces.

Yeah, I think the data is older.

New Brunswick also has gotten a new booster legislation that is coming into affect this year.

BTW--here's current BC law:

The BC section in the above posted document is actually significantly more strict than the actual law...unfortunately.
