    Is it time to go backless?

    DD is 7 1/2, 63lbs and 52" She is begging to go backless. Hates her Britax Parkway. We are in a 2015 Honda Odyssey. She rides in 2nd row captains chair. Is it time? Are there less bulky options before going backless? I don't think any will be met with a thumbs up from her, but her...

    Removing headrest for parkway - truck

    Just installed britax parkway in DH's truck. I had to remove headrest as booster wouldn't lay flat against seat back. (Turning headrest around didn't help). I know the manual says to remove headrest if needed, but I wonder about the truck installation as the back glass is inches from the back...

    Frontier 90 as hbb - use latch??

    I'm trying to use our frontier 90 with click tight as a hbb for my 6 year old but can't find instructions as far as latch and tether. Do you just set the seat on the vehicle seat and call it a day or do you use latch and tether to install the booster then shoulder belt over child?

    Three across question re: bb and side impact

    So I was curious about the safety of a backless booster next to a normal harnessed car seat. I'm concerned about my 9 year old booster child hitting his head on the car seat next to him in a side impact collision. Thoughts?

    Frontier 90 crocth strap position

    Just got our Frontier 90 for DD. The crotch strap has me confused. The farthest back position has it just a tiny bit under her, but the other position has it about an inch and a half from her crotch. This is with her scooted all the way back or course. Manual say to use the position that...

    Need new seat, any recommendations?

    The Nautilus DD is in is expiring. I've liked it and am considering buying a new one or a Frontier. Anything new on the market I should consider? (I have car seat shopped in years) DD is 4.5yo, 39lbs and just under the top slot on the Nautilus. I'd like to keep her harnessed a few more years.

    Radian safestop

    When installing safestop on my xtsl, does the huge white label face out or up against back of seat? It's different from pictured in manual, so I can't tell. In order to face it out (which is what my instinct is), the metal yoke openings face the opposite way that what's pictured. :/ Does it...

    Check fit - 1st time in hbb

    Just got the Monterey and not sure about fit. DS was very uncooperative :/ The seat belt seems to do a weird thing under the belt guide, near the buckle side. Are we supposed to be tucking it in and flat each time? Doesn't want to do that on it's own.

    Recommend booster for almost 8yo

    DS will be 8 in August. He's currently harnessed in a GN, but his shoulders are right below the top slots (barely) I'd like a new seat for him, booster obviously. I haven't tried him in booster in the GN, but the seat is old and gross and I want a new seat (he's picked at the armrests and torn...

    Traveling out of the country, advice for seats?

    We are going to the carribean in a few weeks with my 7yo and 2yo. At home, 2yo is in a radian xtsl rear facing. 7yo is in a GN harnessed. It occurred to me that it might be easier to travel with one car seat for 2 yo and a booster for 7 yo. We've never done boosters, so I'm clueless. Plane...

    Replacing harness, direction straps lay?

    Of course I yanked out the pukey straps before looking closely enough to see how they should go as far as the seams... The folded parts that are sewn down I mean. Do the folds face down so that you can't see the end when looking at the back, or do the folds face up so you can see the end and...

    Installing seatbelt, latch belt in way? GN

    When installing my son's GN with the seatbelt, the latch belt always seems in the way. It's attached to the actual seat, so it's not a matter of just removing it. I guess you just ignore it and put the seat belt through the guide right on top of it?

    Question Gn as booster, pic of where belt hits ds

    Thinking about moving ds to a hbb. This is how his GN fits him. Belt too high on neck? Also, do you attach the booster to the car? With latch I mean.

    Locking clip, use or not?

    I'm unsure if I'm supposed to be using a locking clip. Our seat belts have sliding latch plates and seat belts that lock.
