Hi all. I would like to purchase the Chicco Keyfit 30 Zip Air. I am having troubles finding it. I live in Canada and the only place I found that would ship it would charge $150 just for shipping. Anyone from Canada know a retailer that may sell this particular model?
Also would love to hear your thoughts/opinions on this carseat if you have used it.

Judging from the name it sounds like they'll be super similar.... except maybe the Zip Air is lighter?
One thing to keep in mind a bunch of Canada Chicco seats just had a recall where they sent out the parts to rectify the "problem". This wasn't an issue in the US as they don't have the same standards as Canadian Safety Transport or whatever it's called that governs that stuff here.
So if you order the seat you want from the US for the features, you're going to run into different standards.
Not that I think it's less safe but you need to watch that it doesn't get taken at the boarder or cause troubles when flying etc. because the safety stickers are different.
Personally I would order the Keyfit30 from Canada. Get the replacement part if your seat is included (Mine is still in the box and I still had to get the part which I'll do when I install my seat) and then just get whatever other add on's you want.
The reason you can't find it in Canada is because it's not approved here.
Also - this would be a great question in the Canadian Moms Check in. Come join us there too!
