    Mr. long legs

    is finally going to be comfortable in the car. (I hope!) We ended up with a Radian, and so far I really like it A LOT!!! I also looked at the Safeguard Go, but since not all of the cars he rides in have LATCH it wasn't an option. I really like the steel frame of the Radian and the shock...

    How deep is the Radian seat base?

    I mean where the child actually sits, not the seat bottom in it's entirety. The issue for us is Lukey's long legs, so seat depth is important. How does it compare to a Cargo or Evenflo combo seat bottom depth? If you have older kids in the Radian, how do they feel about it... are they...

    Child back pain?

    Hi guys, Can you help me figure this out? My son (will be three in November) has been complaining of late that his back hurts whenever he is in the car. This happens in all of his seats... his Roundabout, Advantage, Maxi-Cosi Priori, Graco Ultra Cargo... he says it in all of them. When asked...

    LATCH Manual question, please

    Will someone who has the LATCH manual look up where the tether anchors are for a 2003 Pontiac Montana? A friend of mine wants her two little girls (both ffing) in the back row and her newborn baby in the outboard of the center row. She says she can't find the tether anchors in the back. She...

    Can anyone help? An OT request

    My 7 year old niece was diagnosed with leukemia last fall. One of the things she does to get her through the days is to read the guestbook on her website. She has two huge maps on the wall and puts pins in the countries or states that people have written to her from. So far she has 30...

    It seems the board lost quite a few posts. Several posts that are many days old showed as new today, and several from the past few days are missing. What happened???

    Oh boy oh boy oh boy

    My DD is 15y9mo and is now old enough for driver's ed. I am overwhelmed by the lists of schools that offer it and underwhelmed by the programs I have read about. Does anyone have any advice or recommendations for me on where to start? Oh, and she can't take it at school-- she is homeschooled...

    Hey Julie!

    You have some great RA covers on ebay (I've been looking for one for ages and I really like the cooler fabrics). Were they all yours? (from your collection of thirty-something seats, LOL)

    Darren!

    Thank you SO much for the link to the photo gallery of Lifesavers!!! It is AWESOME to see the pics of all those new seats AND it gives a flavor of what some of the conference was like. I really appreciate you taking them and posting them for us here. Maybe someday when I'm not Lucian is weaned...

    Have you seen these yet? (5lb baby)

    She posted them on the cps list. These pictures are amazing. Her little five pound baby looks like a doll and is so beautiful, but that's not the reason to look. It's really interesting to see how a real 5 lb baby looks in several different seats! LINK...

    Pics of the Intera part one

    Hi all, I put my boys in the Intera tonight in Walmart and took some pics for size reference. Unfortunately I didn't have my tape measure with me (just switched diaper bags, it figures), so I don't have measurements. I could only post one pic per post here, sorry about all the posts. Lucian...

    Aaaack! Please help!

    ALL of my internet favorites got deleted! I had such an amazing collection, too! ;) Will you please help me re-build my list by posting some of your favorite carseat/CPS links for me? I know about the links page here, but what else? I am missing so much. Thank you!

    Marathon buckles

    Hi everyone, I installed two new MAs this week for moms that had been shopping around for a while. Turns out both of these children can easily unbuckle them! (they are not related and do not know one another) One mother called me and asked me to see her seat again and had her DD show me how...

    a rfing question

    I've been in dialogue with a cyber-friend who is wanting to turn her very small 2 1/2 yr old back to rfing (YAY!!!) but her husband asked the following question " After watching the video of crash tests in which kids were rear facing during a front impact it is easy to see how much safer they...
