    Question Is this An OK recline with our NEW(ER) DIONO?

    Question Booster Seats "SAFER" than HARNESSED SEATS FOR "BIGGER KIDS"?

    It's been a while since I've been on this site, but a few months back I am "pretty sure" I read "information" on this. DUE TO LOAD or STRAIN ON THE NECK, IT *might be considered* SAFER for bigger kids to ride in a BOOSTER SEAT (HB or LB) with a SHOULDER BELT (of course, as if there would be...

    Opinions on this trade. Is this "fair", what to add?

    I'm not sure if this is the correct forum or not. And I know this question may be hard to answer without having a look at each seat.

    Question Child Car Seats & Sub-Zero Temperatures....

    Hi, I'm wondering how sub-zero temps affect a child car seat?

As far as EPS foam, I know it's different than...
