EDIT: For anyone reading this thread in the future, the longer crotch strap is not approved for use in Canada and is not available to order.

it's on the diono.ca website so I assumed it was?
they may send one for free (as well as my new boot, and new UAS straps because mine keep loosening, and new strap covers because I HATE the harness pads...) but it's going to have to ship from the US and that could take weeks. unless there is somewhere in canada that I can order from?
I thought if you didn't like the harness pads they would send you the shoulder pads instead? I have them off RF but when he goes FF I really hate those pads...
I emailed customer service but haven't heard back yet. Calling is usually faster so I might do that.
The buckle is hitting right at his boy parts. It doesn't matter if it's in the farthest slot from him or the middle one (yes I know it's supposed to be in the furthest spot according to the manual but they said any slot is fine to use). Before, he used to complain about it bugging him every now and then, but yesterday he was full on screaming and throwing a fit crying because it was hurting him.
so if we can't use the longer crotch buckle, he has to go FF in a different seat and the radian is useless to us.
While I'm thinking of it - Diono also doesn't allow parents to go over the top slots of the Radian in Canada. I'm not sure why, but they don't.
Snowbird is talking about FF here for anyone not clear on that.
Thanks Jen, I guess I mistakenly assumed that a child whose shoulders were above the top harness slots would be ff'ing. Now I'm curious to see if kids actually have room above their head when their shoulders are above the slots. I don't think my kids did, but I don't remember now.
