The ICBC speaker in Pat's class last Wednesday told us not to use car seats that are more than 7 years old. The one I got from my friend is more than 10 years, so I am looking for a new Toddler Car Seat for my girl.
I see from Toys R Us' website that there are several types: Combination, Comprehensive, & Convertible. Which one should I buy and which brand is a good deal?作者: kaimui22 時間: 2008-6-15 01:15
I have the Eddie Bauer 3-in-1 car seat...it converts from a infant-toddler-to child booster seat...
also it has a weight limit of 35lbs for the reversible (infant) seating..which is great because babies are safest in the rear-facing position. So even if your baby is over a year old, they can seat in rear-facing until they are older. But the front-facing position is also okay from 21lbs, so if your baby is over 1 years old and over 21lbs, they can also face forward.
When my son gets older, I can remove the middle cushions and the seat will become a booster seat..which is now necessary in Canada for kids under 40lbs.
I spent $189 for one..but now I see many places (bay, sears) selling the same one for about $159.作者: kerrie 時間: 2008-6-16 22:00
I bought a Britax Marathon for my girl. although it is quit expensive $299, but it can use upto 68lbs. TJ's Kids is more choices than Babies R us.作者: shutterbug 時間: 2008-6-17 07:45
I have two 3-in-1 car seats. Both from Dorel Juvenile. Alpha Omega bought from LD long time ago, and recenly bought Safety 1st from Costco for around 140.
3-in-1 is good because it fits kids from 5 to 80 lbs so don't need to buy another one in the future.作者: 華美子 時間: 2008-6-23 15:22
finally bought the Eddie Bauer 3-in-1 from Sears. $229 on sale for $18x and since we applied a Sears card there we have another $10 off.
I originally bought the Alpha Omega Elite from the Bay but someone sent me this link http://www.healthycar.org/home.php that says this model has some concern of toxic materials. I thus returned that one and bought the Eddie Bauer.作者: shutterbug 時間: 2008-6-23 15:56
