    Boosters that work on middle seat, second row in 2018 Odyssey

    Does anyone have suggestions for this? Backless is fine - my oldest is 9.5 and in backless fulltime, my almost 8 & almost 6 are fine for shorter trips.

    3 across in 2011 nissan altima

    Is it going to be possible to get 3 across in a 2011 altima with one these combos of seats CCO (rf) Frontier 85 OR recaro performance sport marathon 70 OR peg convertible (rf) If so, which order is most likely to be successful? Slight other wrinkle is that the CCO may sometimes be replaced...

    Tall driver, harnessed 3 in a row, good city mileage

    DH has a 2006 sentra which I despise. It is basically impossible to get 3 in a row without much teeth gnashing. He is also 6'3" and has bad knees so he needs the seat to go as far back as possible. Kids are 5 next month (41lbs, 45" or so, 5T shirts, still fits in a marathon 70 with a bit of...

    ff'ing harness seat for 2006 sentra

    DH has a 2006 sentra and I swear the backseat is designed to be anticarseat. The seats are very sculpted and firm, the buckle stalks are long and forward of the bight, there's a weird hump at the bight and the seat belts are on the shorter side. The LATCH is basically unusable but I need to...

    Click connect 40 for a premie?

    A friend of mine will have a premie coming home hopefully in a week or 2 and she will almost certainly be well under 5 lbs, possibly under 4. (Friend has small babies in general, her previous full term babies were all around 5 lbs and grew very slowly). She already bought the click connect 40...

    2 radians on a luggage cart

    We'll be traveling with my then 4.5, 2.75, & 9 month old in a few months. We don't travel that frequently and my kids are super tall so I don't want to get a travel only seat. I was planning on bringing our 2 xtsl for the older ones and the baby's cco (I have the travel bag so very easy...

    ff'ing radian in 2006 Sentra

    How hard is this to install (would it make a 9 months pregnant woman cry with frustration?) Seat would be outboard behind driver. I would likely be using LATCH since I've never gotten a really good install with the seatbelt for any seat in this car. The option is a TF, but I'd prefer to keep...

    Please tell me about window tinting

    I'd like to get the rear windows and rear windshield tinted on my mazda5, but I'm a little unsure of which of the options are actually worth it, and how dark I need to keep the sun out of my DCs' eyes. I'll have one ff DS in the 3rd row and 2 rf'ing in the 2nd row. I'm in Maryland which...

    In Search Of XTSL cover - ventura or other non-mesh GN

    XTSL cover - ventura or other non-mesh GN - FOUND I need a new XTSL cover to replace my gross eclipse cover. I'd prefer Ventura but am open to any of the non-mesh GN covers. It's ok if pads are missing but I want VG or better condition.

    Question how tightly does an older britax base lock ff'ing?

    My blvd 65 base locks very solidly in the rf'ing position and the two pieces meet tightly but does not lock tightly or meet all the way in the front when in the ff'ing/"other" position. I called Britax and they said this was fine but it seems a bit weird to me. (I also realized long after the...

    Question Aftermarket rearview/blind spot mirrors

    I've seen people mention that they've installed aftermarket rear view mirrors to help with blind spots and when you have bigger kids blocking the back window. Is everyone just talking about the fisheye type ones that stick on the side mirrors (like this) or is there something better out there?

    frontier 85 in 3rd row of a mazda5

    So I tried installing my new frontier 85 (harness mode) in the 3rd row of my 2009 mazda5 and I just cannot get it in well with the headrest in place. It does not sit firmly against the back of the seat at all, it overhangs by at least 3 inches (which pushes it all the way up to the back of the...

    Experience with 3 kids in a Mazda5

    We're expecting DC3 in May, DS1 will be 3.75 (still rf'ing at the moment with no complaining from him), DS2 will be 24 months. So we'll have bare minimum of a year with 2 rf'ers. Right now DS2 is in a marathon 70 behind the driver and DS1 in a radian behind passenger. They're both pretty big...

    cargo tie downs in Mazda5

    After all the recent discussion on projectiles, I've been looking at the cargo tie down options in my 2009 Mazda5. Currently the 3rd row is folded down 99% of the time and I have 2 rf'ing seats in the captain's chairs. From what I can tell from the manual, the only cargo tie downs are those...

    radian in a 2006 sentra

    My 2 year hit 35 lbs so I swapped out the rf'ing true fit in my husband's car with our spare radian. It installed easily with latch on the passenger side but it is the full 45 degrees reclined. I tried some of the tricks of standing behind it, etc. but the seat has a weird molded lip below the...

    coccoro adjuster strap warped

    I've been using my coccoro daily for 9 months since my baby was born. I took it out today to clean it up a bit and noticed the adjuster strap is warped in the direction I pull. It's not severe but it is noticeable. Is this a safety issue? Should I call combi about it? Is it hard to replace...

    HWH seat available in Italy (Rome)?

    Asking for a friend. Her DD is 2.5, 1 meter and 17 kg (and will stay big - parents are very tall). They don't have a car so will only use this occasionally and would like it to be as inexpensive as possible. Is fine with FF'ing only given the occasional use.

    Newborn seat for 2004 VW Golf

    My sister is due January 1st, so this is a little early, but of course I want to start researching car seats immediately for her 2004 Golf. Her husband will be getting some kind of not-too-old suburu from his dad, I don't know any other details. I think she'd prefer an infant seat but if the...

    Reference explaining why being more upright RFing is safer?

    Being more upright makes intuitive sense to me with my moderate understanding of physics but I'm having a hard time explaining/convincing other people. Anyone have a good link explaining this or any data showing how much safer?
