Britax Roundabout car seats are legal in Canada
Hi,
I've seen several recent newsgroup postings stating that the Britax Roundabout car seat is not approved in Canada. However, it looks like it is, according to this advisory on the government's web site: http://www.tc.gc.ca/roadsafety/child...4/d200304e.htm Sure, it's still hard to find, and expensive, but at least it's legal. :-) - EJA |

Britax Roundabout car seats are legal in Canada
Britax Roundabouts (the non-LATCH version) were legally sold in Canada prior
to (I believe) January of this year. It's the new Britax products that have yet to pass regulations. I have one of the non LATCH seats with a huge Transport Canada sticker on its side. However, recently a friend of mine tried to get one for her new vehicle and learned that no Britax products were available in Canada at this time. If you have a Britax and it doesn't have the Transport Canada sticker, you can be charged heavily and suffer demerit points on your driver's license if caught using a Britax from another country (that is, if you live in Canada - visiting is another story). They expect to be available by the Fall, says one baby store source. theother Cheryl "Elizabeth A" wrote in message ...

They expect to be available by the Fall, says one baby store source. Thanks for clarifying. I'd heard that the older Roundabout seats weren't approved either, but this makes more sense. Sounds like they should be available again soon. BTW, does anyone know what happens to visitors from the U.S. or Europe who use an unapproved-in-Canada carseat? Or a model that's approved, but lacks the sticker on the seat itself? (In my experience, if Transport is anything like Customs & Immigration, they're generally much more concerned with what Canadians are up to.) - EJA |
