Hi everyone!
We have just moved back to Calgary from the US. My lil peanut is 16.5 months and still less than 20lb but I just left a graco safeseat behind since I knew I had to get a canadian one here (btw my baby's over the height limit for safeseat)...Please suggest convertible carseat so she can ride rf till 22lb and then I can turn the same seat around when the time comes. We have an acura mdx and a honda accord so both are pretty roomy but it helps to have a skinny-er seat in case someone has to sit in the middle
I was thinking about the britax marathon but i happened upon this site and now I am thoroughly confused!!
Also: someone just told me that you can take your non-canadian seat to a tech and get it certified? this person told me that their friends have done this...but I am a little wary...if this were true everyone would be shopping south of the border...right?
Another q: My 4.5 yo 39lb 42" is in an eddie bauer convertible (can't remember which exactly but got it from sears 3 years ago?) and is still using a 5-point harness...what is the weight limit for using a harness? I dont like to use it as a booster seat because I tried it about six months ago and when he falls asleep he looks like he's about to fall out of the seatbelt? Any ideas?
Would love some help asap...i dont have a carseat ... borrowed one to get home from the airport and stuck here until i get a carseat!
TIA
