    Dangerous position in a booster?

    DD1, who is 6 yo, ~47" and 48lbs, has complained bitterly of being uncomfortable in her booster. We have tried the Parkway SGL, the Clek Oobr (she really hated this one), and I now have her boostered in her old FR85. She is most comfy in the FR85. I have tried putting a sleeping bag under her...

    Uncomfortable in booster

    My DD1, who is 6 yo, ~46" (fairly evenly distributed legs and trunk) and 47lbs, complains of being uncomfortable in her booster, and I find her trying to slouch and put her legs up on the passenger seat in front of her. I think her discomfort stems from her legs dangling, but this was never a...

    Backless booster for occasional use

    Hi all, What would be good options for a relatively inexpensive backless booster for my almost 6 yo DD1, who is 46-47" tall and 46 lbs? She would only sit in this on occasion, e.g., when being picked up by a friend's parent at school. She normally sits in a HBB- Parkway SGL in my minivan and a...

    Clek Oobr booster- why is my kid so uncomfortable?

    I got a Clek Oobr booster for my DD1, who is 5y 10m currently, 45" and 45 lbs. I drive a 2012 Odyssey. We also have a Britax Parkway SGL that I moved to DH's car when I got the Oobr. The Parkway was okay, but it kind of seemed to sit askew and I was really impressed with Clek's other booster...

    Which booster?

    I'd like to get a booster for DH's car to start booster training DD1, who is 5 yo, 42.75" and 42 lbs at last check, possibly a little larger with the growth spurt she seems to be on lately. I suspect she will grow a lot in the near future- her growth seems to have been stunted by a medical issue...

    Question MR65 FF installation question

    I have a 2012 Honda Odyssey, and I am installing a MR65 behind the passenger seat. The install feels solid, better even than when it was RF, but although there is contact with the front portion of the seat, part of the front legs hang off the seat. I have a vague recollection of a post about...

    Question Curious about boosters

    DD1 will be 5 in February, and is 42.5" and 41lbs. She is very happy in her Frontier in harness mode and I see no need to change her any time soon, but all of her friends are in boosters, of course, and she always asks me about it. :rolleyes: She is mature and sits correctly in her FR almost all...

    Are their RF height restrictions- MR65

    DD2, who will be 2.5 in January, is very tall (at least 37.5" last I measured, probably taller now, 31 lbs), and is very happy in her MR65, which I have RFing in a 2012 Odyssey. I'm not inclined to change anything given that she's happy, but I was noticing today that her shoulders are less than...

    Ack, what do I do?

    I am on vacation, and when I went to install my Boulevard70 FF, I couldn't find the clip on the tether. :confused: At home, I had previously installed it once RFing but decided to use a different seat in that car and was planning to install it in DH's car eventually (i.e., after this trip). I...

    Good RF convertible car seat for grandparents

    Okay, DD2 (12 months, 30", 19.5 lbs) has officially outgrown her infant carrier by height. :( There goes plan A for my trip to Colorado to visit the grandparents at their vacation home. DD2 does not have a ticket on the airplane, and we are going to wheel DD1's car seat in the airport. My dad is...

    Which seats on plane: 1 yo and 3.5 yo

    DH and I are flying with our 3.5 yo DD1 (approx 40", 32 lbs) and 1 yo (turns 1 tomorrow!) DD2 (approx 30.5", 19.5 lbs) from Charlotte to Colorado on United (one standard flight, one short puddle jumper flight) in two weeks. DD2 does not have a ticket, unfortunately, but I am willing to carry her...

    Car seat in Germany?

    A friend is moving to Germany for 2 years and has a 12 month old dd who is 24 lbs and about 28". She has to buy a seat in Germany I'm assuming? Is anybody familiar with with seats available in Germay. Iwas looking at the britax website and saw a convertible that sells in Germany called the first...

    MR65 harness adjuster won't tighten further

    My DD2 is almost 12 months, 19.5 lbs, and 30". I have her RF in a MR65 that I just installed, and I can't seem to get the harness to tighten far enough to remove all the slack from the restraint when she is in it. :confused: The harness is threaded through the second set of slots, and she is not...

    Tricks to tightening car seats

    I am not the strongest person and am generally pretty scrawny... How do I best use leverage to tighten the LATCH straps on a car seat base? I am trying to install a MR65 in my 2011 Odyssey rear-facing. I know it can tighten more, but I just can't seem to do it. I am trying various positions to...

    Question Is this safe?

    I installed a Boulevard70 RFing into my 2011 Odyssey van in the middle seat, which is narrow, but the other two captain chairs pull away from it to allow more room for car seats (very cool feature, IMO). When I install the seat, it is a little bit wider than the seat's cushion, but I got a solid...
