    Question Discounter Seats

    Is is safe to buy seats from a discounter/outlet? Are damaged boxes significant? What should I look for or be wary of? I will check manufacture dates. Thank you!

    New seat help!

    I need to purchase a new car seat. Generally, I enjoy this process but now it seems I don't have any time for research and I need some help! I have a 10 yo, 3.5 yo (30 lbs, 39 ins.) and 13 mo old (20 lbs, 29 ins.). The oldest sits in the middle of both vehicles (08 Toyota Tundra and 08 BMW...

Kids are 10 (middle, no booster), 3 y 3 mos (driver outboard, rf Britax RA 50) and almost 1 yo (passenger outboard, rf Britax RA 50).. The 3 yo is very hard on her siblings. I'm thinking of turning her forward just to lessen the...

    Avis and Combi Coccoro

    I will be getting a rental car from Avis for a Spring Break trip. I would like to take my Combi Coccoro as it's easy to transport, but have had trouble with install before and am nervous I'll be stuck at the rental car counter unable to install again. Should I just take the easier to install...

    Baby Pinching Big Sis

    I have a 13 mo old rf in a RA50 and an 8 yo in a Monterey (with back). I had them sitting next to each other, 8 yo in center, baby outboard driver side. Problem is the baby keeps pinching big sis! I know it hurts big sis -- she's not just being dramatic -- but baby is too young to understand...

    Strap Protection on RA50

    I purchased two RA50s on clearance from Target ($50 each!), but am so disappointed that they don't have the strap padding and HUGS setup on the harness. The harness is digging into the baby's neck. Can I take the HUGS and strap padding off my Britax Frontier (retired due to crash without child...

    Coccoro in Tundra Install

    I'd like to get more insights on proper install angle for cocorro. It is currently installed in a 2008 Toyota Tundra Double Cab, rear facing with latch behind the driver. Child is nearly 20 lbs. at almost 8 months of age. The reference line is NOT parallel to the ground, but the install is tight...

    Twisting Seat Belt Stalk

    I'm installing a Chicco Keyfit in the center rear seat of a 2008 Toyota Tundra double cab. To get the base as tight as possible, I have to twist the stalk of the seat belt so the buckle doesn't interfere when snapping the car seat into the base. Is there a limit on the number of rotations I can...

    Carseat for 2nd Car Recco Please?!

    I'm thinking about getting a second seat for my DD. Now that she attends preschool, I may have the luxury of having hubby drop her at preschool once a week to give me a bit more time to myself. She will be turning 4 at the end of this month, weighs 35 pounds and is 39 inches tall. She rides...

    TRV vs. TFV

    I'm trying to determine if I should tether my Britax Wizard RF in my 1999 Ford Expedition, using TRV or TFV. My daughter is 2 1/2 and 30 lbs (not sure of her current height -- but she's well below the top of the seat). The restraint is positioned in the center of the second row. I think the...
