    Boulevard cleaning

    A friend's DS threw up all over her BV. She's wondering if it's fine to hose the whole thing down. She knows to not submerge the straps or use chemicals. Thanks :)

    Graco

    When did Graco stop making seats with a square buckle? Just wondering if a seat I saw is expired. Thanks :)

    Diono Santa Fe

    Does anyone know if Diono will be releasing the Santa Fe booster in Canada any time soon? I really like it as a backless, but between the headrest and belt guide issues in any vehicle I've tried it in I don't really feel the need to pay for the back. Thanks.

    Used car, 5 seats.

    If you had to buy a used vehicle to fit 5 kids. 5 (in Cosco booster), 4 (Cosco booster), 3 (scenera or something like it FF), 1 (RF in scenera or something like it) unborn baby, I think it's a Graco seat. Low budget, like well under 10,000 what would you get? Both parents are about 6 feet tall...

    argument question

    How do you guys deal with someone who will not listen and is a jerk about it? My sister's boyfriend is a fire fighter and feels that my nephew, 9 years old and between 65 and 70 pounds, 4'9" does not need a booster. My sister and nephew both realize he does need one and also that it needs to be...

    Seat belt issue.

    My 10 year old niece somehow twisted the male end of her seat belt on day when I was in their van, so I flipped it back to straight. But I didn't check first and now it's backwards. She's not currently using that seating position, but I'd like for it to be available. Is there any trick to...

    R120 vs RXT

    The RXT is on sale at sears right now and is actually less than the R120 at snugglebugz. So, for a child that is riding outboard which would you get. It will not be used for very long, if at all for a FF seat since there is a Frontier to grow up into. I know wings are a preference thing, but...

    Diono sante fe.

    Does anyone has any idea if/or and when Diono may release the sante fe in Canada again? I love the Monterey backless, but the belt guides don't work in any car if tried it in so I don't wanto spend that extra.

    Built in lock offs.

    I was having problems getting the Marathon 65 (Canadian) in with a seat belt when I tried it in my brother's Nissan NV. It was doing what I have seen people mention and the should belt portion was making the seat tilt. Would using the built in lock off on the buckle side which is what it says in...

    Latching nbb

    Given the choice between an Olli booster and a backless Monterey, which would a ten year old girl likely choose? And more importantly, which has a better belt fit on a variety of kids? I know about the lack of leg support on a Olli, so that's something I need to consider. The child is not...

    Pushing on seat back

    Yesterday my brother, his family and I went to test drive the Nissan NV. My 20 m/o niece was RFing as I installed my spare MA65 for her. She has the same seat in their current vehicle, but FF (I know). I discussed with my brother, not for the first time, the importance of reRFing her. He agreed...

    Latching boosters

    Are there any latched boosters in Canada other than the Monterey which I have one of and like but hate the belt issues with the guide, the PW SGL and the Oobr, too expensive. The seat would be going in a 2006 four door F150. The child is 4 and will outgrow the GN harness quite soon. It is for my...
