    Question links on proper boostering, please?

    My family is very "legal minimums are good enough" and it's exhausting. Despite explaining safety issues over and over, they pressured me to FF my son, they pressured me to booster him when he outgrew his CA harness at age 3, and now that he's 3.5 and 37lb they're pressuring me to booster as...

    Please Help: One-time 3 across

    Hi folks, Sometime within the next week I am going to have my cousin's two kids in my car in addition to my DS. I need help getting all 3 in the backseat. Car: 2009 Nissan Sentra Kids usually ride in expired Britaxes or nbb's or seatbelt only or someone's lap in parents' cars, so no help...

    WWYD--lap belt only

    Booster age child, vintage sports car. The back seat has a lap belts only and will not fit a car seat. They will be going strictly around the block on residential roads, infrequently--once a month perhaps. WWYD for a child restraint?

    Car seat on airplane

    My family is taking my son to Disney later this year. He just turned 3 and is currently 42". By the time they go, he will be around 3.5 and goodness only knows how tall. Part of my family is driving, and part is flying. My son will fly with my sister, and Dad will pick them up at the airport...

    2-seater sportscars

    Hi folks- I'm curious at what age you would consider a child safe to ride in a 2-seater sportscar regularly. I would like to buy a sportscar in several more years, but as it would be my daily car, I'll wait until DS is old enough to ride safely in it. At what age would you be okay with it?

    Need to get rid of Scenera, wwyd?

    I bought a Scenera a year or so ago for my sister's car. Unfortunately my DS only fit in it for about six months. :rolleyes: So now I need to unload it and I can't get anyone to take it. :confused: I don't know anyone I could just give it to. I tried putting it on Craigslist in the "free"...

    Harness at Shoulders and Posture

    I have my 2.5-year-old FFing in a Britax Frontier. There are only 2 more harness levels above where his shoulders are now, and I simply do not know what I'm going to do if he outgrows it before booster age. But that's not my real issue at the moment, LOL. When I load him in the seat, his...

    FR85 install help

    We finally got a FR85. Yay! My DS actually has 3 more clicks above the current harness level now. :) We tried to install it last night and spent nearly an hour struggling with it. Here is what we found: Short belt path: Impossible to tighten so that there is no more than 1" movement at belt...

    Curious...why is this unacceptable?

    I know it's a big no-no to use both seatbelt and latch in installation. I'm just curious as to *why*. Obviously it's unnecessary, but is it actually going to hurt anything?

    Question about locking belts

    I read somewhere that most (all?) cars made after 1997 have locking seat belts. We have a 1999 Plymouth Breeze and, as far as I can tell, the belts don't lock. We use a locking clip on the seat belt. Am I missing something as far as locking? Is there an alternate way to lock it?

    Stupid things people say about car seat safety...

    When we mentioned our decision to ERF, my mother in law said that it was a bad idea because "He won't like rear-facing and he'll throw tantrums, and then you'll give in. Just you wait and see." Heaven forbid I actually parent my child if he decided to throw a tantrum. :rolleyes: My mom thinks...
