Hi everyone!
I am looking for a Ride Safer Travel Vest for my daughter, size small, for travel in Europe. Does anyone know where I can purchuse one in Canada, or are there any websites that ship to Canada? The vest looks like the perfect solution for our "oversees carseat problem"!
Thanks a lot!

I am almost 100% sure you won't be able to find it in any Cdn stores, as it is not certified here. I am not sure on which stores may ship. Your best bet might be having it shipped to someone in US who will then ship it on to you.

ETA I just wanted to make sure it was clear that the RSTV is not legal in Canada. I am not sure what the legal standpoint would be in the EU since you couldn't really rely on it being "your restraint from home" as a visitor, since it is not legal in your own country, either. But definitely in Canada it is illegal to use the vest.

Hi! Thanks for your reply!
We are planning to use the vest just for our trip oversees from the airport to our destination. There is a very nice maxi cosi booster seat waiting for her!
Thanks though!

I believe that many EU vehicles don't have top tethers - do you know if your rental will or not? I believe you can't use a vest without a top tether - though someone more familiar with them will correct me if I'm wrong. :thumbsup:

(And no, it's not available from any CDN retailers.)

The company/manufacturer said that they would ship a RSTV directly to me (don't live in the US, either) but that hasn't worked out very well. I asked about the cost of shipping about a week ago, and they haven't gotten back to me yet. And we leave in 36 hours ...

I wonder if the vest would be seized when clearing customs, though?

Neatfreak, how did you make out? I know this was quite a while ago, but did you get the vest and did you use it much afterwords. I live in Canada (Ontario) and am considering it for travel in the states.
Thanks
