    The cold this morning has me thinking about winter wear for the car seats. I am just making the switch to a booster for my DS #1 - 6.5 years old - approx 46lbs and just shy of 4 feet tall. Part of me would like to keep him harnessed but not sure it's really that much safer or if it just makes...

    any infant seats that REQUIRE a base?

    I was just on another board and somebody made a comment that there are infant seats that REQUIRE the use of a base. I've never seen one so just wondered if any of you Techs know of any or if this person is way off base.

    I got my peg 4-35 from snugglebugz and had to test it out (baby not due for months, but who cares about that?) just to be clear for anyone reading this - I am not a tech, just a mom who loves car seats. :) I was installing it driver's side in a 2012 Mazda 5, middle row. Normally I would be...

    Question when did you change to a booster seat?

    Just wondering when people made the switch to a booster seat. I am trying to decide if my son is ready for a booster but it seems like everyone on this site is harnessing for a long time but everyone I see outside in the world is already boostering by my son's age. Part of me wants to...
