    DH won and Advocate CS for me!

    We went to the baby expo this weekend and they were giving two car seats in daddy derbies. We were there yesterday and saw the whole thing and I knew I had to have my dh come the next day and try to win it. I am lucky he loves me and indulges me in my fetish. He smoked the competition, even on...

    My Christmas Miracle (car seat related)

    Re-seling returned seats

    I bought the Uptown this weekend as a spare seat. When I opened the box there was no owners manual or registration card. When I looked pack at the box I could tell that they had re taped it closed. So what would you do? Call Dorel or take it back to the store and talk to a manager?

    I am not an uneducated carseat freak!

    :mad: I am so sick of people treating like I am doing my ds a disservice by leaving him rf. He is 35 mos, 30# in a scerena. He is safer but they are so hung up on his legs breaking. I even came back with a calm (but I think you could hear the irritation in my voice) that Sweden has the lowest...
