Was this a verbal conversation or do you have it in writing (ie: email)?
Russ makes me nervous with all the *chatting* he does.
Yes, I'm sure the Radian passed with flying colours rf to 35lbs, but IMO, if they let one customer use their 33lb seat rf to 35lbs they should let them all. Like issue an official statement, or an advisory notice, etc. Make it more definite, kwim?
Like if you use your seat rf to 35lbs and the seat fails in a collision, and your child is injured, and you can somehow prove that the seat was defective, is SK going to come back at you and say "well you used your seat past what the sticker says". To which you'd reply "Russ said I could", and magically there's no record of him ever saying such a thing. And therefore you lose your legal case based on reasonable doubt that the seat *may* have been defective, but we can't prove that because you used the seat against manufacture specifications.
Like I said, it just makes
me nervous. Not all people think this way though... so feel free to ignore my ranting.
