Anywhere besides Britax to buy IMMI chest clip?

[Farm_Mama]

Looking to replace the clip on my 5yr old's Radian. We haven't had a problem with it being too narrow or anything, but she can't get the darn thing unhooked. It seems like it's been an even bigger problem since it so cold out now. Between cold fingers and cold plastic, it is pesky. Even her 7.5yr old brother can't usually get it for her. It's tough and she is on the outboard passenger side so I'd just as soon not have to run around the car to get her unhooked. Aren't I lazy? I've never had my hands on a Britax clip, but they look easier to undo. Are they IRL?
I went to the Britax site to order one and with my zip it said $11.50 for shipping!! For a $3 clip! Yikes! I was expecting $8, but it just seems that $14.50 for a chest clip is a bit extreme.
Are the new chest clips from SK better? Are they even available yet?
Can you get clips direct from IMMI or anywhere else?
Or anyone have one they don't need?

Thanks!

Maybe try Learning Curve? The True Fit also uses an IMMI chest clip.

If you want to try IMMI direct(http://www.safeguardseat.com/customer_service_child.htm), looks like the chest clip is Product # 62946 - http://www.safeguardseat.com/components/components_chestclips.htm

I was sworn to secrecy by the company sending it to me. They don't sell to the public. That should enable you to put two and two together. I doubt they'll make a practice of sending them out, but if you're in a pinch it'd probably be worth a try. It's unfortunate that they are so hard to find. Then there ones like Graco that you can buy practically anywhere.
