    Front seat safety research

    Does anyone have a good reference or article that explains when it is safe for a child to ride in the front seat? I'm asking for a friend, she needs evidence to support why she doesn't want her ex to let their newly 8-yr-old ride up front.

    HBB with a narrow base?

    We just downsized from a Honda Odyssey to a 2012 Hyundai Elantra Touring. My daughter is almost 10 and is currently in a Britax Frontier in booster mode, my son is almost 8 and boostered in a Graco Nautilus.

    Graci Nautilus top slots?

    Anyone have a '99 Sienna?

    We recently bought a '99 Sienna and need to install the tether anchors. I got directions on how to do it from another message board, but it says to consult the owner's manual for the correct torque, but the car didn't come with a manual. Is there someone on here who has one and could look it up...
