List of Canadian Seats which RF over 30 lbs

[mommycat]

Just wanted to get a list done up to make sure I'm not missing any.
THS=Top Harness Slots

Convertible seats in Canada that RearFace past 30lbs are:
*Sunshine Kids Radian XT model only at this time(35lbs RF / 65lbs FF) (18" THS)
*Compass/First Years True Fit (and probably True Fit ARB, currently due to arrive March 2010) (35lbs RF / 65lbs FF) (18" THS)
*Britax Advocate (35lbs RF / 65lbs FF) (17" THS)
*Britax Roundabout50 (not the old model Roundabout) (35lbs RF / 50lbs FF) (17" THS - ?)
*Dorel/Cosco/Eddie Bauer 3-in-1 (aka AO/AOE) NEW MODELS (35lbs RF / 50lbs FF) (17.5" THS)
*Safety 1st Enspira NEW MODELS (35lbs RF / 40lbs FF) (15.5" THS)
*Cosco Scenera NEW MODELS (35lbs RF / 40lbs FF) (14.5" THS)
*Safety 1st Avenue (35lbs RF / 40lbs FF) (16-16.5" THS)
*Safety 1st Air Protect Complete Air (TRU website lists it at 40lbs RF but not yet confirmed IRL / 50lbs FF) (??" THS)


and for good measure...

Infant bucket seats in Canada that have a limit over 22lbs are:
*Graco SafeSeat1 (30lbs)
*Graco SnugRide32 (32lbs)


Did I get everything covered?

Safety 1st Enspira as well - just new models. Somebody here got one from sears with a 35lb rf'ing limit. I think Zeller's might carry it as well, but their stock tends to be old so it's likely all 30lb seats still.

And just a note that the TF ARB isn't supposed to show in Canada until January unless this has recently changed?

I wasn't aware that we even have the Avenue. Who sells it?

Well then, I guess you really do learn something new everyday. I had no idea.

No way, really? That's great! I wish Britax would have done this when they introduced the Boulevard. Any chance they got rid of their silly 32" RF height limit?

Yep that was me I got an Enspira and then crashed it a month later. However I noticed that in the Sears catalog they still list the RF weight as 30 lbs in the write-up but the box and the seat definitely listed the RF limit as 35 lbs.

They have the new AOE too, but they still list them with the old limits.

Nevermind, I just checked, and they have the right limits for the new ones. I think some of the old ones are wrong though... some say 5-35, some say 5-30.

Will this be made into a sticky thread? That would be handy.

Bumping. Updated the list.

And what was decided about a rf length limit? Is it 49", 32", or 1" from the top??

I think on the box it says 49" but the manual is 32" and the seat itself was 'non descriptive' in terms of height. Someone should confirm.

I only saw it quickly and couldn't really check myself and that was pretty much what I was told later on. Very confusing.

Cat, thank you for this list. Since we have reached the limit of stickies in this forum, we have decided to add this list to the thread listing all seats with high weight limit sticky http://www.car-seat.org/showthread.php?p=343241#post343241

I had pm'd Barb quite a while ago for clarification... she was going to look into it.

Great, thanks! That will make the list much easier to find. :thumbsup:

Oh and the THS on the new Enspira is 15.5" I had measured it when I first got it!
