    Harmony Backless Boosters

    I sent a note to Harmony trying to get clarification on their backless models, as I was confused by the names and lack of reasonable measurement info on retailer sites. I recieved a very nice note (at 7 AM on a holiday) from Michael in customer service that I thought I would share. I hope this...

    Boosters for 9 year olds

    I posted yesterday about my vehicle collision. One person responded and offered a suggestion for replacements for my Montereys. I've been out of the loop for about 2 or 3 years and would love help finding information quickly. So if you can point me to recent threads about HB and backless...

    Question Accident question...

    First and foremost, I thank God for this community and the sense I had to keep my children in boosters based on fit and not on age. I have the knowledge and confidence to do what is right because of the knowledgable and caring people here at car-seat.org. So thank you, ALL OF YOU, for being...

    HELP! Putting PW Cover Back On

    So I washed the cover and I'm trying to put it back on the seat. BUT We can't bet the straps that go under the base and criss cross to attach at the rear of the base. DH is convinced that what I think are strap hooks are really stops for the recline. Yet there are no other strap hooks...

    Question Monetery Back

    Thanks to all the wonderful advice here, we chose Montereys for my quads last spring. We really like these seats. My girls just turned 7 and are between 35# - 45#. Best features are LATCH, which keeps the seat from moving all over when they try to pull the belt out far enough to buckle in...

    Who should ride in front seat?

    I may need to transport my friend's children and mine tomorrow. Who would be the least unsafe in the front passenger seat? I have a 9 passenger conversion van. The airbag can be turned off, although I've never tried it. It will be a total of 8 kids plus me in the van. I would drive 2.7 miles...

    Finding Booster in Alaska

    I have a friend who will be traveling in AK this summer. They will be renting a car for 3 days in Anchorage. Her triplets are 7 and she needs boosters for them. The cost is $36 per day for 3. Last time she did this in CA, they were NASTY. Is there somewhere- like a Walmart that she can buy...

    86-Y Fit

    Anyone put a kid in an 86-Y and do a pinch test? Is it necessary like in a 5-pt harness? I had one of my 6 year olds try it out this afternoon and I couldn't get it really tight on her without her complaining about the harness pushing down on her shoulders. My 8 year old DS was fine and...

    Hip Monkey Montereys FINALLY arrived

    Just had a visit from a special UPS driver and got my 4 long-awaited Montereys. I ordered beginning of March from Hip Monkey and they were backordered, then delayed beyond the backorder, and now THEY ARE HERE!!!! The boxes are a bit beat up, but still intact. When I opened the one where they...

    Cargo Harness Fit

    My DD is 6.5, 35# and rides in a Graco Cargo. She is very close to outgrowing the top slot on her harness. What would be the safer option- keep her in Cargo with her shoulders slightly above the top slots until she gains more weight or put her in a Monterey? I would have a very hard time...

    86-Y Harness- Where might I find it?

    I ordered from Hip Monkey a month ago and agreed to wait for my 2 harnesses so they could ship with my backordered Montereys. Montereys still aren't available (should have been on the 6th :mad:). I asked for the harnesses to be shipped, but they are now backordered.:mad::confused: I'm waiting...

    How old could THIS be?

    We took the Daisy Scouts to the police station this evening and this was in the garage. I didn't have a chance to ask the officer giving us the tour if they actually USE it. Also didn't get a chance to look at the stickers without making a scene. BUT I wasn't the only mom to cast a wondering...

    Air Booster, Turbo, Parkway, Evenflo Confidence

    Hi all. I got to "play carseat" today with our new Air Boosters and thought I would share our thoughts on comfort and fit. Sorry....no pictures. I was lucky to get cooperation from the most of them. We are moving toward having 4 out of 5 of our kids in BPBs- 8 yo DS and 6.5 yo quad girls...

    Ohio Booster Law

    Thought I posted this about a week ago, but it must be somewhere in cyber-la-la-land. Not sure where it belongs, so mods, please feel free to park it where it should be. I'm trying to understand the new law that was supposed to take affect in April. Does ANYONE have a clear explanation, in...

    Question Big Lots Air Booster- OH???

    Anyone in central Ohio know WHICH Big Lots have the $55 Air Booster? I've been to Sawmill several times and they have very little. Even had the TB sold out Sunday afternoon and it was in their Sunday ad. I REALLY want to try out a couple since so many of you say you can fit them better than a...

    Question Ohio Booster Law

    Anyone familiar with the new Ohio booster law that takes effect April 6? I'm trying to understand if it's... A. 8 years AND 4'9" = OK to be without booster B. 8 years OR 4'9" = OK to be without booster My kids will still be boostered until they pass the 5 point test...which could be prom...

    He doesn't like the Monterey- now what???

    OK, now I'm stuck. I was all set to order 5 Montereys for my quads+1 to use in my 9 passenger conversion van. I tried one of my quads in a friend's seats and she LOVED it (DD2, below). But then she's thrilled to be moving into a BPB and our very good friends have them, so that's like the seal...

    Vivo vs Monterey

    I'd like to hear pros and cons and overall impression of Monterey and Vivo, especially if you have experience with both. I've been on the site for the last few days, have seen a friend's Montereys IRL, and tried them in my van and on one of my 6 year olds. I see where many of you are...

    Turbo Expiry

    I'm trying to buy some time until I can figure out which seats to get long-term for my conversion van and the small van (2008 Ody). I have 2 Turbo Boosters with DOM 2/19/03 that were given to me by a reliable source. I have one DD in one of these (6.5 and 41#). I'm about ready to move another...
