    Question Best seats for three across

    We need to look at three across in our 2012 Elantra Touring. Our current arsenal of seats include: Foonf, Radian R120, Frontier and Scenera. We will need to purchase an infant seat (ideas on the narrowest? We loved our old keyfit but it's expired). Currently we have 5.5yo (53lbs 7/8 clothes...

    Air travel with two kids...which seats?

    We bought plane seats for the baby (11 mth old) and 4yo, and now I need to figure out what car seats to bring. We have: Radian R120, Foonf, Triumph and Frontier. Any thoughts are appreciated!

    Car seat shuffle!?!

    It's going to be time to play the car seat shuffle in a couple of months, and I am hoping to figure out what my best options are so I can look for sales. In our main car (2012 Elantra Touring), I have the Keyfit22 for baby and a ff Foonf for my 3.25yo. In our second (2003 Toyota Echo) car we...

    Washed Infant Seat Cover - now it smells!

    New baby arrives soon and our Chicco Keyfit22 has been carefully stored for the last two years. Even so I decided to give the cover a wash since I could see some drool stains from DD. The cover didn't smell going in, but coming out it has a weird chemically smell. I followed the instructions...

    Question Car seat techs in Kingston Ontario?

    Hey folks - dd and I will be taking the train to Kingston to visit Nana. It will be our first time sans driving and my mom has an Evenflo Triumph dd will be using while there. My mom has strength and mobility issues so she is going to have it installed. Her car dealership said they can do it for...

    Comfort level with forward facing a 3 year old?

    I've sorta posted about this before but originally was looking for something different so my thread title was misleading. Anyway, here's the story. Currently I have a RF 2.75yo in a Diono R120 (with angle adjuster...doesn't fit otherwise) in a 2012 Hyundai Elantra Touring. There is no way we...

    Question Inexpensive Seat for Second Car

    We want a seat for our second car (2003 Toyota Echo) for my 2yo daughter. She is 30lbs and around 32inches in height. Currently she is rf-ing in our main car in a Radian. She will only be in the other car maybe once a month and never on long or highway drives. Generally we commute together so...

    British Airways doesn't make it easy to buy infants a seat...

    Not sure what others experiences have been, but we just dealt with some of the worst customer service. Their practices wrt booking an infant a seat would definitely discourage many parents from purchasing a seat due to the time, effort and exorbitant cost. Below is an email I've sent to their...

    New guideline for Diono Angle Adjuster

    We've been using a temporary cat seat for our 11.5 month old while waiting for either the Foonf or to be able to use a Radian with the angle adjuster (too tall for our car without). While Diono currently says not to use the AA until the child is over 1 year, I've been told by a number of techs...

    Flying KLM - need car seat advice - must be narrower than 16.5"

    We're flying to South Africa (from Canada) in January and our daughter will be 14.5 months old. We've bought her a ticket ($ouch$$ouch$!) and are planning on taking a car seat...but we're running into a few issues. According to the airline, it must be 16.5" or less to fit between the arm rests...

    Question Best RF fit for a big baby and a Hyundai Elantra Touring?

    Hey all. I posted a little while ago on my desire for the foonf (http://www.car-seat.org/showthread.php?t=221963). I've been holding out, but the little one is almost 8 months and 21lbs...so I don't think it's wise to wait for the August release date in case it's delayed or she hits the max on...

    Question Clek Foonf - Canada

    Anyone know anything about the foonf? We're looking to move from our Chicco Keyfit 22 to a convertible car seat that will allow us to stay rear-facing as long as possible. DD is 18lbs/6mths right now so we still have time but making these decisions takes me forever so we are starting now. We'll...

    Question Help in the Ottawa area?

    Hi - I am wondering if there are any techs in the Ottawa area who would be willing to help with a car seat install? I am almost 37 weeks pregnant, have been off work for health reasons and my husband has been laid up with a broken ankle...all in all making it hard for us to maneuver in the back...
