    Replacing seat belts???

    Does the seat belt need to be replaced after any crash? Or just those considered "moderate to severe" by the NHSTA. Are the same NHSTA standards for seat belt replacement as car seat replacement? If so, we meet the criteria for a minor crash but the standards say nothing about speed. We...

    In a minor accident- replace seats?

    So, we were in a minor accident that meets the NHTSA standards for minor (except we haven't had the seats thoroughly inspected yet) and we have two Britax seats. One is a boulevard 70 manufactured in 2010 and the other is a frontier 85 SICT manufactured this year, if it matters. But, I still...

    Question Is there such a thing as too tight?

    I installed my daughter's Britax Frontier 85 SICT and it is in ROCK SOLID. It doesn't move at all. I used the recline of the actual vehicle seat to help with that some. Could it be in too tightly though? I know, for instance, the reason that you're not supposed to use latch and seatbelt is...

    Newborn in radian- no side impact protection?

    So, this whole pregnancy I have been planning to put my baby in our Radian XTSL when he or she is born. My daughter has been riding in the Radian and just outgrew it rear-facing. Now she is forward-facing in a Britax Frontier 85 SICT. My daughter outgrew her infant seat, no joke, at...

    Is it unsafe for a radian to be at 45 or more degree incline or just not ideal...?

    My radian is in my 2002 Honda Ody RF with a seatbelt install. My four-year-old is in it. She is 40 lbs and we bought it mainly for the extra 5 lbs she will get rear-facing. Her other seats are Britax Boulevards (one older but not expired with a 35 lb RF limit and one newer with a 40 lb weight...

    All your tips and tricks for Radian seatbelt installs

    I can't for the life of me get a Radian install that has less than one inch of movement at the belt path. I have tried rear-facing and forward-facing, in my 2002 Honda Odyssey and 2005 Kia Spectra. We want it installed rear-facing (that's why we bought it, for the 5 more lbs we can get...

    What constitutes an accident?

    I've long known that you are supposed to replace car seats and seat belts after an accident. However, what constitutes an accident? Just impact? I had an almost accident over a year ago. Someone turned left onto the highway from a toll road exit as I was going straight. She was heading...
