    What would you do? 12 year old front seat vs. no headrest

    I have a Grandma's car question. My mom drives a Chevy Aveo (very small) and sometimes drives my 3 daughters. It only has two headrests in the back. The middle seat is short enough that when all three ride in the back someone is without head support. My younger two (ages 7 and 9) use backless...

    Baby Trend Hybrid 3-in-1 as just a narrow high back booster?

    http://www.walmart.com/ip/Baby-Trend-Hybrid-3-in-1-Booster-Car-Seat-Blue-Moon/24675226 I just realized that my last high back booster is now expired. I need a high back booster for my youngest, who is 5 and a half, in our secondary vehicle where we have three across. I am considering buying...

    What a difference 5 years have made in the car seat world!

    When I found this wonderful forum, I was debating what to do with my almost 3 year old 38lb child. I was afraid I would need to put her in a booster. If I'm remembering correctly, my entire list of options was: Britax Marathon and clones, Britax Regeant, Safeguard GO, and Safety First Apex. The...

    If you have used a Radian rear-facing

    At what age did your child need the next to the top slots for rear-facing? I knew Naomi had a long torso, but even with that, I was surprised to find I needed to move the harness to the next to the top slots on her Radian. This means that if the fit were the same forward-facing, my one year old...

    In the battle of ideal safety versus budget at my house, both win!

    Thanks to Wendy and Mae for cluing me into the fact that the 10/08 Radian I own was retroactively declared a 40lb RFing limit seat! Since I own a Safety 1st Avenue, a Fisher Price Safe Voyage Deluxe, a Britax Decathlon, a Radian 80, a Nautilus, and 4 boosters for my 3 kids, budgeting concerns...

    Do all post Sept 08 Radian 80's have a 40lb RFing limit?

    I read in another thread that the 40lb limit Radian 80's were made 09/08 or later. I have a Radian 80 from 10/08. It is installed FFing right now so I can't easily look at the manual. I don't remember it saying it had a 40lb limit, but it's been a while since I looked at the manual and didn't...

    Question Head support versus ideal seatbelt fit

    I've read it recommended here to continue using boosters until the 5 step test is passed at minimum, but ideally until the seatbelt fits better without than with the booster. Would you recommend differently in a car without proper head support? Both of my cars' rear seats only provide support...

    Tell me about the Coccoro

    How much RFing room does the Coccoro give versus the Safeseat? How much FFing room does it give versus it's RFing maximums? I'm wanting, but not needing, a 3 across solution for Ben's Chevy Cavalier. This a 2 door car the kids only occasionally ride in. I have Rachael, 5, who has outgrown our...

    Is the 50lb Evenflo Titan a good narrow RFing convertible choice?

    I'm trying to figure out what do for our 2 door Chevy Cavalier once Naomi outgrows the SS1. She is a big girl, 19 or 20lbs now, and tall with a long torso. She's maybe 2 inches from the top of the SS1 shell now at 7 months old. I have a Parkway and a Radian for the other two girls and want to...

    PSA: If you are considering a Radian,

    but are reluctant to order because you can't find anywhere to see one in person, order one anyway! After spending this morning working on three across scenarios in my two cars, I am kicking myself for not ordering a Radian for Rachael when I first needed a high weight seat 3 years ago. The...

    Have you ever had a high back booster too tall for your car?

    I've just gotten DH's car, a '98 2 door Chevy Cavalier, set up for 3 across. I have a Snugride passenger side, then a FFing Radian, then a Parkway. The Parkway is currently set at the maximum height I could adjust it. It's touching (really almost pushing into) the roof of the car. Rachael has...

    Finally Extended RFing!

    At 18 months, 29 days and 20lbs, 3oz we are finally ERFing! Rachael needed a HWH at age 3. At this rate, I think Emily will be RFing at that age. :thumbsup:
