Hello everyone,
I phoned SGI (Saskatchewan Governmnet Insurance) Traffic Safety division today was told "that Transport Canada is going to release an intent to change the standards" in January with an effective date of April 1, 2007. The change that they are requesting is that forward-facing harnessed weight will be 65lbs.
She is going to be calling Transport Canadad to find out if they will be issuing approval stickers for HWH seats that were bought prior to the new standard. Hopefully the answer is yes so that my Radian 65 that was purchased Dec 24th will be good to 65lbs "after" April 1st. Rylan is still under the Canadian limit at the moment.
If anyone would like to call SGI themselves to confirm the Regina number is 751-1200 or 1-800-667-8015.
I posted this under Coffee Break because I didn't want to create any confusion if I haven't worded something correctly.
My other exciting news is that I helped someone (a random stranger) choose a Radian today at Canadian Tire for her 13 month, 26lb boy. I made sure that she had "floppy" seat belts and told her that it has been an issue for installing in some vehicles. She was going immediately to SGI to have them install it rear-facing!
Thanks,
Jacqui
