    Cybex Sirona S - BMW X7

    I was looking at the Cybex Sirona S as a possibility for my X7, but then ran across some condo saying it can’t swivel in FF mode unless the top tether isn’t used (or is loosened/redone each time). There was info from Cybex stating “The Sirona S convertible car seat includes a tether for...

    Insert for Diono Radian 3R

    Our new FS is 13mo, but small (18lbs) and even though I buckle him in well before we leave, he always ends up slouched down and leaned to one side or the other. The Diono inserts say they’re for up to 15lbs, so I’m not sure if it’s ok to use it in this situation? (I’d need to order one.) Years...

    Need a RF seat that fits 2016 Explorer center bench mini center seat and still allows for …

    Any other thoughts? I have an appt with Wal-Mart on Thursday to try a couple seats they have (Evenflo EveryKid, Safety 1st Gro and Go Sprint, and Safety 1st TriFit) I need something where the buckle path is quite a bit higher than the car’s seat so that the outboard seat passengers can reach...

    Need a RF seat that fits 2016 Explorer center bench mini center seat and still allows for …

    Thanks! Narrow is helpful, but I think something that sits a little higher above the base is what will be most helpful. I’m not going to convince DH to let me get a Clek, but I might look at the Graco … and tell him it’s $200-something 😂

    Need a RF seat that fits 2016 Explorer center bench mini center seat and still allows for …

    We just added a little foster guy to our clan that needs to be RF and I need to find a seat that when installed in the center bench center seat of my 2016 Explorer still leaves both door seats useable. The struggle is that the buckle receiver for the driver’s side bench seat ends up under the...

    ISO - Britax Marathon G4 Cover

    DHS placed a 20mo old with us 2 weeks ago and it’s looking more and more long term. A friend is shipping me a Britax Marathon with 3 years left but it’s the pink giraffe cover. Does anyone have a boyish one they’d sell or trade??? Thanks!!

    Retrofitting Headrests on Bench Seats?

    Looking to retrofit headrests on our big van, I think. We have a 2001 E350 15 passenger van. We also have an 05 Armada, but we are adopting #7 soon (hopefully!) so we are going to outgrow that and have to go back to the land yacht. It has all outboard shoulder belts, with lap in the middle. So...

    Document with specs on seats like Britax Frontier?

    Ages ago, someone shared the Convertible Car Seat and Dedicated Booster Seat docs with me, which is awesome! The Frontier isn't on either of those because it's a "combination" seat (I think that's what they'd call it?) Anyways, I did find the info on the forum here, but is there a document like...

    5yo HATES Frontier :(

    I'm in a car seat dilemma (again! Or maybe I just like to play with seat combos?) Radian65 has as cracked base so they told me to stop using it. So I need to move (newly adopted as of 12/24!) dd to ds' Diono100 so she can RF. His shoulders are *almost* even with the top harness slot, and I...

    2005 Armada ... can I put a child RF in the rear bench?

    New-to-us vehicle! We are ordering a vehicle manual, but in the meantime I need to do some research online and ask questions here :) Trying to decide where to position kids in seats and boosters...anyone know if it is/isn't ok to put a kiddo rear facing on the rear bench? In any position? Thanks!

    Need a new seat ... almost 5yo into a booster?

    Ok .. So if I saw this title I'd be thinking "NO...do NOT booster your "4" year old." (He will be 5 in Oct) In fact, I keep telling myself this. But this guy has nearly outgrown the Diono100 by height and the only other thing he fits in harness-wise is the Frontier which he A) HATES and B)...

    Car spec sites for comparing and research?

    We are in the market for a new(to us) SUV. We purchased an '01 Acura MDX in December after realizing our Land Yacht ('01 E350 van) was going to eat more gas than a car payment. Land Yacht is still around for camping trips and such, but is not my daily driver. MDX ... I LOVE it. But the cargo...

    ARGH!!!! Marks in my leather seats!!!!

    Oh MAN. I'm in big trouble with DH. I *PROMISED* him that installing the car seats in my Acura MDX leather seats wouldn't ruin them and that any marks/dents would quickly pop out as soon as the seats were removed. Well, DH drove my MDX today which has been without carseats for several days...

    In Search Of FPSVD Cover(s)

    I know these seats have just about run their lifespan, but we are still using ours until it's expired because I. Love. It. :D However, one of my covers was lost to mildew in the basement :sick: and the other is getting rather ratty. I bought one off here awhile back, but it's a Britax cover...

    WHAT cover was it??? FPSVD (Britax?)

    A couple years ago, I bought a FPSVD and the cover was black and kind of silvery/beige-ish ... it was "Cool something or another" as in, was supposed to help the kiddo stay cooler in the seat. It died. Or rather, was eaten by mold smell from the basement :sick: so I trashed it. I bought...
