    shoulder straps too far apart? TFP+9mo

    I just got the True Fit P for my 9 month old - 28" and 18.5 lbs. I put him in it and noticed that the straps look a little wide on his shoulders. I tugged on them and they didn't come down off his shoulders. But then I remembered hearing that the chest clip is just a positioner and it might...

    RF tether, booster belt, and Frontier q's!

    3 different car seats, 3 different questions! 1. I saw the pics post about tethering in an Odyssey, didn't 100% understand it but finally got the guts up to try it. Then it almost seemed too easy, so I still am worried I did something wrong... does this look right? 2. Is this the right...

    measurements please - RN and TFP

    I was all set on a TFP but the RN 40 lbs is tempting... still, I have a string bean and I think it's all gonna be about shell height for him RF and harness height FF. So anyone have these stats: Shell height? Top harness slots? Highest harness slots allowed for RF? Thanks! Megan

    I was wrong! Now what???

    Just when I decided I was going to go with two new Britax Parkways because of the slideguard, I decided to weigh my DD#2 again. She was 39 lbs months ago so I thought we were solid on 40#. Wrong! She lost weight down to 37#! There goes that. Now HOW am I going to get 3 across? I am...

    harness v. booster for 4 yrs 40 lbs

    With a 40 lb 4 year old who can sit still, which one would you feel safer about? 1. Nautilus, installed via seatbelt by our babysitter or my husband each time it's used, and then child harnessed by child and checked by sitter or DH. 2. Britax PW Secure Guard, with the seatbelt...

    help me choose between 2 config's

    I need to fit 3 across in my hubby's 03 Accord. I just bought a Coccoro - I thought it's small, so that's good, and since it's light and easy to install it'll do well shuttling back and forth between hubby's car and the sitter's SUV. But I know it may not get DS harnessed as long as I want...

    2nd carseats - cheap/lightweight/3 across! help!

    My husband would like to just keep installing and uninstalling what we've got, but I reeeally want 2nd carseats. They've got to be cheap enough to convince him, and the whole reason I want them is b/c I have bulky seats - Decathlon, Frontier, and Sunshine Monterey - so as lightweight as...

    Time for a new seat... for which kid?

    OK all, I have 3 kiddos. #1 is 5.5 years old in a Britax Frontier on the highest harness slot placement with very little room left, #2 is 3.5 years old in a Decathlon on the highest slot with room to grow, and #3 is 5 months in an infant Safeseat. I want to get him out of his Safeseat, and the...

    Arranging carseats :)

    I am trying to figure out where to put seats due to two upcoming changes - in the next 3-6 months I expect my older dd to move out of her Decathlon into a Regent (or the rumored combo Britax), and I am newly expecting (due early October). I know I think ahead. What would you choose between...

    Safety of 3rd row v. 2nd row

    Hi all, I've always been reluctant to put my kids in the 3rd row because I'm afraid of what would happen in a rear-end accident. I'm planning to have a 3rd child soon and am thinking ahead - I don't feel comfortable with any of the 3-across 2nd row arrangements I can come up with until my...

    EFTA shoulder width?

    So I keep reading how the EFTA is great for little ones through big kids, but I remember trying my dd#1 in it (probably wasn't the advance though) and another EF (can't remember what) when she was 4.5 months old and the shoulder slots were too wide for her shoulders, I felt like she could get...

    the truth about bracing?

    OK, guys, tell me. I swear I've heard both here and elsewhere that it is not only OK but helpful to brace my Britax convertible RF'ing against the backs of the front seats to reduce movement in a crash. But then, when my SIL and bro had their carseats checked, the tech told them not to have...

    weight limits for LATCH and top tether?

    I can't find anything about this in my 07 Odyssey manual... does that mean I just go with the 48 lbs for the seat LATCH and no limit for the top tether? Or does anyone have info on the Odyssey? Thanks, Megan

    outgrowing in shoulder height - what next?

    Hi all, My dd is not even 40 lbs yet but she is outgrowing her Decathlon in shoulder height. She only has a centimeter left. She is 4.5 and is very active and "spirited". I am a bit concerned about moving her to a booster for this reason. I think most of the time she'd do fine, but we...
