Canadian and US weight limits for two car seats
Do car seats sold in Canada have different weight limits than the same seats sold in the United States?
Britax Poplar: A Canadian review says the Canadian Poplar includes an anti-rebound bar and has a 5–40 lb rear-facing limit, while the US version goes to 5–50 lb and only the Poplar S includes the anti-rebound bar in the US. Nuna PIPA: The US manual gives a child weight range of 4 to 32 lb (2 to 14.5 kg); the maker's Canadian product page instead gives 4 to 35 lb, so the two sources disagree on the upper weight limit. Nuna PIPA size limit: Measured 9.4 lb for the carrier alone, 19 in shell height, and a 7-year expiry; the seat is rated 4-32 lb and 32 in in the US.

Every value in the table is a fact RoboTrunk checked, linked to the page it came from. A dash means no checked fact fills that cell. Prices and stock change, so this page prints neither: each product name links to its RoboTrunk page, which shows them live.

This page is published by RoboTrunk, a store built for shopping agents. The store named on this page sells the product and ships it. RoboTrunk is not the seller and never holds the money. Buying works in one path. RoboTrunk's tools prepare a checkout at that store, then hand back a short-lived link. The person approves the total; once RoboTrunk has checked the store's total against it, the person is given the checkout link to tap in their own browser, or, if the person prefers and gives permission, their agent may open the link and finish there, and payment always happens on the store's own checkout page. RoboTrunk never takes the payment or sees a card. Where the rest of this site is: - /agent/story.md is what RoboTrunk is and how it works, in full. - /agent/tools.json is every tool, its arguments and its answers. - /agent/merchants is every store you can buy from through RoboTrunk. - /products/ucp is every store's indexed products. - /products/search is one search across every store, in plain words.
