    Anyone have anything to share about this booster? Good, bad or indifferent?

    Three questions...

    When using a seat that has a harness that converts to a booster I know you are supposed to remove the harness before using it as a booster. Is there a safety reason for this or is it comfort? I would like to be able to buy another Apex as our tertiary car seat since my 2 and 3 1/2 year olds...

    Fisher Price Safe Voyage Deluxe Convertible Car Seat

    This is definitely my new favorite car seat. This seat is based on the Britax Marathon but with only a 55 lb forward facing weight limit, but the same 33 lb rear facing limit. It is super easy to install with seat belts and my 3 year old is very comfortable in it. I highly recommend this seat...

    Need Third Seat

    My mother needs seats for her car. Based on suggestions here we bought a HBB for my almost 5 yo and a Scenera for my 16 month old. That leaves my 3 YO (37 lbs, 38" all torso) without a car seat. Her shoulders were just slightly below the top slot of the Scenera so that doesn't seem like a wise...

    Regent vs Marathon

    I was wondering if anyone knows if the difference between the top shoulder position of the Marathon vs the Regent. My 4 1/2 year old does not have much longer in the Marathon and I would like to pass it down to my youngest right now. But I don't want to buy a Regent if she is going to outgrow...
