    Booster he won't slouch in?

    My 9 year old rides in a Graco Connext and I am find him slouchy all the time. He sinks down and puts his feet on the seat in front of him so the belt is up to his jaw line. I am constantly reminding him to sit up. The Connext is kind of a cheap seat, so maybe not super comfy? Is there another...

    Connext discontinued?

    I was going to purchase another Connext for Grandma's car but Walmart is out! 8yo is a shorty, wide kid so it seems like the Connext would have longevity vs buying her another backless Turbo. Anyone know if Connext is coming back? If not, is there anything like it that's deep & wide? If not, I...

    Nautilus in backless mode: What would you do?

    Does anyone LIKE using their Nautilus as a backless booster? Once again, I need to mix up our car seat situation. Does this ever end?:dizzy: Here all of the seats we own: My car (main car): 8yo in Connext, 6yo in Parkway SGL (don't want to make any changes here) Extra seats for DH's car or...

    Move 8yo to LBB?

    I feel like I'm constantly tweaking our car seat situation. But here we go again. I need help thinking out two issues. 1) Should I move my DS8 to a LBB? And if I do, what can I get to fit 3 across in my 2nd row? My 8 year old (average height 55lbs) wants to move to a LBB. He is currently in a...

    Need help thinking out seats

    I am starting my research for seats I will use in the fall. My oldest will be in 2nd grade and almost 8 years old. My youngest will be in kindergarten and almost 6 years old. By then I want them both in boosters full time. The soon-to-be kindergartener has been "booster training" in a HB and is...

    2013 Pilot the car for me?

    Hopefully I'm posting in the right forum. I currently drive an 07 Odyssey that we had planned to drive forever. But we have decided we need a family car to tow our boat. Something that can comfortably fit 2 adults (I'm 5'2", DH is 5'11"), 2 kids and a dog for a weekend road-trip. I also need to...

    Question Seatbelt sticking on Frontier in booster mode.

    Its not that he can't buckle himself. he totally can. Here is what I mean by "sticking". When I pull the belt out to buckle him, the slack never pulls back. I have to feed it back in and it's not easy. Then, if the seatbelt locks I can't unlock it without removing the shoulder belt from the...

    Question Seatbelt sticking on Frontier in booster mode.

    So we are "training" our 40lb 5 year old in a highback booster because that is all we will have for an upcoming vacation (flying with a Turbobooster). today I changed his Frontier to booster mode and I'm really disappointed. The shoulder belt seems to stick to the fabric and he can't really...

    Best Deal on HB Turbobooster?

    The last 2 Turboboosters I needed I was able to purchase at Costco for around $34. But now they are out of stock and I need another HB TB for a trip in April. The lowest I can find is $49. Are there other deals or coupons out there that I'm not seeing?

    Need helping choosing travel seats.

    In March we are flying out of state and renting a car. I am trying to figure out which seats I should bring for my kids. DS1 will be fine in a Graco Turbobooster...maybe even without the back just for the trip. But DS2 is the puzzle. He is 39 lbs, 5 years old. In my car he rides in a harnessed...

    Question Need help with booster decision.

    My son will be 5 in November. He is 38lbs. His Marathon in Grandma's car expires in October. Grandma can't use the buckles on our harnessed Nautilus due to arthritis. The Nautilus is only rated for 40lbs+ in booster mode...and I think Washington State Law is 4y AND 40lbs, right??? So, without...

    Recommendations for car that can tow a boat

    I posted earlier this week about whether or not our truck was safe for our kids. Bottom line for me is that it isn't safe *enough* for me, so we are taking two cars for now. If my husband tows our boat in the Toyota T100, I take the boys in our Odyssey. But today my husband's work car (volvo...

    Is our 1998 Toyota T100 safe for our kids?

    We have a 1998 Toyota T100 with what I think is called an access cab. Fold down back bench seat, no tether points, center lap belt and no head rests in the back seat. In the past we have traveled with two Marathons and it has worked. But the boys are older now and we have all new car seats due...

    Need help with Graco Nautilus!

    We bought a Graco Nautilus for my MIL's car. She drives the kids at least once a week from school. DS is 4.5 years old and 36lbs, so needs to be in a 5pt harness, obviously. She had a Marathon, but it expired & the Nautilus seemed like a great replacement. But she has arthritis in her hands and...

    Replacing Britax Parkway and First Years Compass.

    My is son 44", 45 lbs, 6 years. In my car he rides in a Britax Parkway SGL and I love it! For travel or carpools he rides in a Turbobooster high back or the First Years Compass B530. We were in an accident yesterday and both the Compass and Parkway were in the car with children in them. I need...
