    seat recs, replacing FPSVD

    Hi All, Our FPSVD is nearing expiration and we need a new seat for our little one. She is 20 months, 25 lbs. I haven't measured her lately but she was right at 50th percentile for height and weight at her last appointment. Any other info needed? Thanks! Becky

    latch limits for Nautilus?

    Hi All, DS is in a Nautilus and I thought I remembered reading that latch limits were 40 or 48 lbs? Does it vary by seat or by car? We drive a 2006 Honda CRV if that makes a difference for car manufacturer limits. I am trying to find out when I need to change DS's install. Thanks! Becky

    Best seat for my not-so-little one

    Hi All, Our DD will soon outgrow her infant carrier and will take over her big brother's FPSVD. The FPSVD has served as DS's seat in our second car. He is in a Nautilus in my car. He is a brand new 4 year old. He weighs 44.5 lbs and is 38 1/4" tall. He definitely is on the low end for height...

    Baby Trend Skylar double jogger

    Hi All, Does anyone have this stroller? Looking for real-life testimonials. We walk in the neighborhood on the sidewalk so no really difficult terrain and I don't use it for jogging, just like the smoother ride of a jogger vs a regular double stroller. Does anyone have any feedback? TIA...

    What do I get?

    Hi All, I wanted topick your brains for advice. DS is 37" tall and right at 35lbs. I am looking for a secondary seat to put in my sister's car as she will have in her car twice a week when school starts. I know the scenera only goes to 40 lbs. Do I spend money on a Graco Nautilus and put our...

    Site to buy defective strollers?

    Hi All, A couple years ago I purchased a jogging stroller from a website that stocked defective strollers as well as other merchandise. All items were graded on the defects. I am now in the market for a double stroller but can't remeber the website. Does this sound familiar to anyone? TIA! Becky

    DS in Chrysler Sebring convertible

    Hi All, Wondering if some one can ease my fears of DS riding in my mom's convertible. It's a 2003 or 2004 Chrysler Sebring. DH and I will be out of town for awhile this summer and he will be staying with mom while we're gone. I will offer to let her just drive our CR-V while we're gone and...

    rear facing in front seat of truck

    Hi All, My brother's girlfriend is due in April. He drives a truck (A Chevy but I can't remember the model) but there is no back seat, just the driver's bucket seat and the passenger bucket seat. Buying a different vehicle is out of the question for him. He does have the ability to turn off...

    Booster for 3 year old?

    Okay, if you knew some one who would not listen to reason and is determined to put their child in a booster rather than a HWH, which would you recommend? DC is 3 yrs old, 33 lbs and 30 inches. TIA! Becky

    which new secondary seat?

    Hi All, My DS is 14 mos, 29 " tall, 26 lbs. He's RF in a FPSVD in my car but looking for another seat as DH will need to pick him up from daycare in January.

    I can't believe this mother!

    Hi All, Last night I was driving home and saw a little girl, probably about 4 years old, riding unrestrained in the backseat of a vehicle. No carseat, no seatbelt. As I approached the car I could see she was holding something up to her mouth. When I got side by side I could see she was chewing...

    Eddie Bauer Summit HBB

    Hi All, I have an acquaintance that is due mid July with her first baby. I have not discussed this directly with her but I think she is planning on borrowing a Snugride when the baby is born and using that until baby can fit into this seat-weight wise. Besides the big drawback of not extended...
