Hi,

Yes, I've often thought that myself on occasion.  I'll find out about 
something really great that I'd love to have for my kids, and then find out 
it's not available in Canada because it hasn't been approved by our safety 
board.  Sometimes it should be left up to the parents whether something is 
appropriate for their kids.  I wouldn't use a clip on high chair, but I know 
some people who wouldn't use a dorway jumper while I would, so it's all 
relative isn't it?

Tammy
