    Favorite Boosters?

    Needing to replace almost everything I own. Since M1 is 6 years now, it makes most sense to booster her in grandparent car and in the rarely used second car. What are your favorite boosters? She is 48lbs, average height (if anything, all legs!). She currently uses a parkway for grandmas car...

    Title says it all! :) Any color/pattern will do as long as the cover and elastic are in good condition.

    4 New Seats!

    Dh was rear ended with 4 seats in his vehicle. Insurance is giving us $600 to replace all seats. Vehicle is a Nissan Murano, 3 kids in varying combinations could be in the car at any given time. I would prefer to be able to pass seats down to the kids since I have many convertible seats...

    Convertible or Combination?

    Which seat should I go with next? I listed all my current seats (I think) and expiration dates as known (anything without an expiration listed expires later than the next 2 years). I'd prefer to buy only one seat right now but want something that will work for a long while. I have several...

    In Search Of ISO: Bubble Bum

    Looking for a bubble bum with at least 2 years of life left on it. I'm not picky on color but it must come with bag. Kids will be hitching rides with a variety of people this year and a BB is far easier to stuff in their backpack than anything else.

    Car Sales People and Car Seats

    I have the potential to do a talk for a group of car sales people on car seats. I am discussing with the owner of a local dealership right now. In order for me to really lay out why he should have me come in and do the presentation (and then what to present), I have put together a short survey...

    Favorites?

    Let's play "favorite convertible in the $200-$250 range". Vehicle is not an issue to any. Child is on the smaller side and a year old and parents will be RFing for at least another year or two. There are so many choices out there I'm wondering what current favorites are.

    Looking for Mickey or Minnie Mouse excellent condition winter PJ's (no nightgowns) in size 3T or 4T, depending on length and style. They will be a present so they need to be in excellent condition. Also looking for boys pajama pants size 8-10. Good condition is fine as long as there are no holes.

    Radian Rules

    I was changing the harness height today on DD's Rn80SL DOM 2009, and checked the manual to make sure there wasn't slot restrictions for RF. and then I learned that if a child is over 30 pounds they need to use the outermost crotch buckle position. I was rather embarrassed to learn this as DD is...

    I'm doing a seat check on Friday for a family with a 2008 Camry. Seats are a Radian, Roundabout, and KF for baby due next month. Children are 5.5, 28 months.

    MacGuyver Was Here

    Normally my dad is pretty good about installing the kids seats. But, I've been getting on him about having a top tether retrofitted into his '99 Suburban or keeping M RF as long as possible in there. I loaned out my Size4Me to a friend and should be getting it out soon. But in the meantime...

    My baby

    Will be riding FF for the first time today and I can't be there. She fell asleep at my parents house and they have a MR for her but she is too tall for it RF. so they have to put her FF to bring her home. AND, she will now be FF in dh's car since she maxed out the RF weight for the radian in...

    A friend has a 3 year old. Weighs 35lbs, 40" standing height. Child has outgrown the BLVD RF. She is looking at one of the Graco clones to keep her DD RF and is currently borrowing mine to convince her DH. Money is tight right now but child passenger safety is a priority so she will make it work...
