    Field trip on mini-bus

    My daughter is 7 and in second grade. Her class is taking a field trip next week, and the plan is for them to take the church's mini-bus. It's an Aerotech, like an airport shuttle (all seats face the front), and has seatbelts. I'm not sure if the seatbelts are just lapbelts, but I think they...

    Should I replace extra seat and boosters?

    My kids and I were rear-ended earlier today. Thankfully, everyone is fine, though our van does have damage. I'm planning to replace their seats since they are all Graco (two boosters and a convertible). I also had our radian and two cosco boosters in the cargo area of the van. Should I also...

    Which seat for traveling?

    We are flying with our 3 kids from VA to CO in a couple of weeks. Our older two can use the regular seat, but I'm trying to figure out the best option for our two year old. I haven't weighed/measured him recently, but at his two year check-up in January e was 33 1/2 inches tall and weighed 34...

    tethering RF radian

    We have a Radian 80SL that we just put rear-facing to use with my 17 month old son. However, in the midst of a move, I can't find the D-ring strap that came with it. Is it safe to use without tethering? Or can I get another D-ring? I looked on the Diono website but didn't see how to order one.

    FF seat for Odyssey Plus 1

    I'm looking for an inexpensive narrow seat to put in the middle of the second row of our 2011 Odyssey. We've had a Radian 80SL there, but we just moved that to a captain's chair for the baby. I'd like to keep my 5 year old harnessed for a little while longer, as she is only 36 pounds and 41...

    Frontier on Odyssey Plus One seat

    I just bought a Frontier for our 5 year old daughter to use in our Odyssey. I was hoping to put it on the plus one seat so that we can do 3 across, but when I went to attach the tether, one side of the strap went over the edge of the strap. I'm guessing this is not okay, but couldn't find it...

    What would you do for seats?

    Our decathlon recently expired, so I'm trying to figure out if another one of the Britax seats is similar. I'm also trying to use it for the trade-in, so make a quick decision. I have a 13 month old currently in a snug ride, and a 4 1/2 year old currently FF in a radian 80. She still fit in the...

    How hard is the Radian installation?

    We have a Radian 65 that we've used forward facing since we got it, mostly because when I bought it I could never get it installed in either of our Honda Accords rear-facing, so I went ahead and switched my daughter FF at 3 1/2. I'm wondering how hard it is to install RF in a 2011 Odyssey? I'm...

    Would you let your child ride like this?

    My daughter's pre-k class recently took a field trip about an hour away. Her class had parent drivers, so I installed her car seat into another mom's van. However, the other class took "the small shuttle bus with lap seat belts owned by XXX Church, so booster/car seats are not needed" (quoted...

    Questions about boostering

    I am about ready to move my six year old from her Radian into a high back booster. Any recommendations on a booster that fits a small kid well (38 pounds, 43 inches tall)? Does the Nautilus tend to fit kids well as a booster? I think she'll do great in the booster, but I'm a little worried about...

    Would you booster or harness?

    My daughter is 6 years 4 months, 43.5 inches tall and 38 pounds. Would you go ahead and move her to a booster or keep her harnessed? Right now she rides in a Radian 65 and has plenty of room. Our other daughter (4 1/2, 31 lbs. 39 inches) is riding in a Decathlon that is about to expire, so I'm...

    Am I reading this law right?

    We live in Missouri, and it states: "A child less than four years old or weighing under 40 pounds must be secured in a child passenger restraint system appropriate for the child. A child over four years of age, but less than eight years of age, who also weighs between 40 and 80 pounds and is...

    snugride 30 with 35 base

    I recently purchased a snugride 30 for our newborn, and an extra 35 base for my husband's car. Unless I'm missing something, it seems like there is no way to tell if the 35 base and seat are level in his car since there is no indicator on the seat or 35 base. Is this right? Is there a way to...

    Suggestions for HBB for grandparents' car

    My daughter is out-growing the Eddie Bauer 3-in-1 seat that my parents have in their car (and it might be expiring, I can't tell if it's good for 6 or 8 years). From skimming the forums, it seems like that doesn't make a good booster seat. I'm thinking of having them get a HBB for her to use...
