    Recommendation is still 13 for front seat riding, right?

    Just checking. (My daughter is 12.2, 5'2" and 115#, and is *well* into puberty. I know she's better off in back, but we just drove 2 hours each way on a road trip, just her and me, and we both would have liked it better if she got to be in front. But she didn't.)

    Who goes up front?

    2006 Saturn Vue. Me driving, four girls as passengers. Two are smallish and will stay in back. One is 5'1", 115#, well into puberty. One is (guessing) 5'3" and 105#, not as pubescent as the first. Both are newly 12.

    Car rental/5-step/crosspost

    I asked this in car safety but didn't get any answers, so I'm crossposting here: I may be travelling with my daughter and may need to rent a car. Is anyone aware of a typically offered rental vehicle (I will probably not get one of the smallest sizes) that a 5'1" 115# child will NOT 5-step in...

    Another car rental question.

    I may be travelling with my daughter and may need to rent a car. Is anyone aware of a typically offered rental vehicle (I will probably not get one of the smallest sizes) that a 5'1" 115# child will NOT 5-step in? I think she will be very unhappy if she needs to go back in a booster.

    Nissan LATCH questions (general)

    Defers to carseat LATCH limit, does not allow borrowing of center anchors. Correct as per 2011 LATCH manual (I only have 2009)?

    Vent I want to sell my Monterey for $500

    just because of the pain-in-the-butt-ness of taking the cover off and on again to clean it.

    If you could fix ONE child passenger safety issue, what would it be?

    (Misuse doesn't count here. That's a given that we'd all want to fix that. I'm talking about "issues", like extended rear-facing, extended harnessing, etc..) Me: Kids riding in seatbelt alone when they need boosters.

    Now she 5-steps in the center of the Kia as well.

    This doesn't feel right!

    Which is better, booster outboard or seatbelt in center?

    Daughter 5-steps in the center of our 2001 Subaru (that hump, that hump, that lovely Subie hump). Her ears are over the headrest in that position in a backless booster. Is she better off center in seatbelt only, or outboard in a backless booster? No side airbags. Not primary vehicle, not...

    How strict would you be?

    For my daughter's birthday, I am taking her and a friend for mani/pedis and then for ice cream. The ice cream shop is in the same strip mall as the nail place. We were going to walk but weather is going to be terrible. Friend's mother has instructed me NOT to put her daughter in a booster...
