    5 Step Test Question

    My 10 year old can pass the 5 step test in my car. Is there any safety advantage to keeping him in his no back booster? He has been anxious to get out of his booster since most of his friends stopped using them by 2nd grade, and he doesn’t want to be the only 5th grader still riding in a booster...

    Which LBB for Trip??

    We are flying to go visit my parents next month. I need to order two low back boosters that I will have shipped to their house. We will be using them for 10 days only, so I don't want to spend much. The other issue is I need to fit both in the back of a 2007 Ford Escape with an adult between...

    Switching to a No Back booster??

    My son is 7 1/2 yrs old, and slightly above average in height and weight. He currently rides in a HBB, but now that he sees all of his friends in NBB or in some cases, no boosters at all, he is asking to switch his seat. For daily rides around town, would he be okay in a NBB? We would use the...

    Twisted Belt

    I feel so stupid asking this question. My DH used my car for a day, and somehow managed to get the belt twisted, and now the buckle part is backwards. I have to twist the belt once, so that the buckle will be the right way to hook in. I have no clue how he managed to get the belt this way. I...

    NBB with low weight limit

    My DS is 5 yrs old and 33 lbs, not sure of his exact height, but he was in the 50th% at his doctor visit a couple of months ago. He rides in a Frontier, and we have no plans of moving him out of that until it expires in a few years. His preschool is taking all of the graduating students on a...

    LBB for Occaisional Use?

    My DS is 5 1/2 , (46 pounds, and about 45 inches tall) and rides in a Recaro HBB full time. We have run into a situation where about one time a month, my co worker who has a daughter in my son's class will be picking him up and taking him back to her house. It is a 3 mile drive on surface...

    Weight requirements for School Buses??

    From a legal standpoint, what is the absolute minimum age/weight a child is able to ride on a full size school bus with seatbelts, but no car seat?? I know what best practices are, but I think what my son's preschool is doing, is actually illegal and I would like to show them what they are...

    Replacing Seats After Accident??

    This morning a guy ran into my husband's Nissan armada as my husband was stopped at a light. The guy drove off so it is a hit and run. My husbands car is driveable, but there is bumper damage. Do we replace the Britax advocate and frontier 85 sict that were unoccupied?? Also will insurance pay...

    Foonf in a Dodge Grand Caravan??

    By any chance does anyone have pics of a Foonf RF in a dodge grand caravan. Or know how would it fit RF in a captains chair in that vehicle?? My DS2 just turned two, is 23 pounds, 32 inches (so quite small). However his legs are getting cramped in his Advocate. He has low muscle tone, so I want...

    Radian and Ease of Use??

    My DS2 currently rides in a Britax Advocate. I really like the seat, but he is having issues overheating in it. We temporarily have him FF in it, as he was getting so overheated he was getting sick and then choking which is hard to deal with driving in LA traffic. I cant just pull to the side of...

    Frontier 85 SICT Seatbelt Install

    My son weighs 39 pounds fully clothed, so I need to switch from a latch install to using the seatbelt. The manual and Britax videos show a short belt path and long belt path. How will I know which one to use? Is one better than the other? I'm going to be installing it in a captains chair of my...

    Foonf Questions

    I'm contemplating getting a Foonf for my DS2. Has anyone tried installing it in a captains chair of a Dodge Caravan (mine is a 2011). How difficult would it be to get a small toddler into it RF? Also will he have more legroom in the Foonf than his Britax Advocate? I know it doesn't matter how...

    Car Seat Recline for Low Tone

    My son is 16 months and about 19 pounds. He rides RF in an Advocate. He has low tone. We have had the car seat at more of a newborn recline because he couldn't sit up well enough to have it at less of a recline. It is on a Captain Chair in a 2011 Dodge Grand Caravan, and the seat is pretty...

    Need to Recline RF Seat

    I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this question. My youngest is 11 months RF in an Advocate. I drive a 2011 Dodge Grand Caravan. He is in the 2nd row captain's chair behind the passenger seat. He has reflux, breathing issues, and low muscle tone. Even with the Advocate reclined...

    Car Seat Has a Slight Lean??

    My husband got a new to us 2010 Nissan Armada. I've installed my son's Frontier 85 SICT behind the driver's seat. It is attached with the latch and the top teather. It is in there super tight, doesn't wiggle at all. However, I think it looks like it leans slightly to the left. My husband...
