    Does this mean I HAVE to move him up to booster mode? (Britax Frontier question)

    So after a huge fiasco with SKJP re: Short strapped Radians (SIGH!!) We actually got our money back from C Tire, no thanks to Sunshine Kids :( (this was in 2008). Anyways, we went ahead and got a Britax Frontier, which while a little fiddly to install, has been great. My oldest, who is in the...

    Our car seat madness is finally over (for a while at least)

    So, we finally have our sons settled into two new car seats... The Frontier and the True Fit. I have pics, but haven't downloaded them yet. My oldest son only has two notches left in the Frontier but since it turns into a booster I was okay with that. He went and grew another inch last month...

    Mazda 5 and the Frontier and True Fit

    Hello all I'm back after a good three week hiatus... Son had his tonsils out. Whoever said kids bounce back faster after that surgery never saw my kid :eek: But, he's finally feeling better now. So....I'm still trying to figure things out car seat wise here. We're likely going to get a Mazda...

    Tried to return my car seats to C.Tire tonight and....

    They gave me a refund!!!!! :thumbsup: I didn't even HAVE to talk to the manager. I did say that it kind of a complex story and we might need the manager, but I told her I'd tell her the story if she wanted. She listened and was in disbelief that a manufacturer would be so unhelpful. So, I...

    A couple pics of the True Fit instillation FF in our '98 Corolla

    Well, hoping I can figure out how to attach the pics (I should be able to...well I HOPE) First one is just a pic of the FF instillation, outboard. Second is of the problem trying to install RF as I mentioned. Someone did suggest the twisting the female part of the buckle, we'll try that this...

    Regarding expired car seats

    We have a car seat that A) would need a fix as it's been recalled and and B) is quite close to expiring. If it wasn't close to expiring, I'd get it fixed and donate it But since it's close to expiring, I'm leaning towards waiting the rest of the year out, and then disposing of it somehow...

    Question One more quick question before we go to C.Tire

    If I can't get a manager to help, would you bother calling in the store owner? Or trying another C.Tire? Just wanted some opinions. We're going today or tomorrow, not sure which yet, but was just curious. The temptation for me is to actually try another C.tire, and/or call the owner. I might...

    Our True Fits

    So we've gone back and forth on what to do, not knowing when the Frontiers were coming (til 5 minutes ago, thanks Tam!) So we decided to install both True Fits, just to make both boys safe. I just feel so-so about the HB turbobooster....MOSTLY my four year old is pretty good, but he...

    ACKKK! Frontier not coming til Aug???

    If I'm reading right, is the Frontier not arriving til Aug?? If so, I'm in a bit of a quandary... Ds #1 is tall...I THINK (if I measured correctly) He's about 16.5 - 17 " long torso (keep in mind he's JUST over 4 years old). He weighs about 43 lb and is aroudnd 43.5 " tall. As you know, I've...

    On the look out for a new 5 pt harness FF seat..

    So... With the Radian being non-usable for us (short straps), I would still like my son to be in a FF, 5 pt harness. He does so - so in the booster. Not awful, but he does forget sometimes about not moving around a lot etc. He's four years old, and has a long torso (measured 17 ") We bought the...

    Need to doublecheck something with measuring torso

    So... I need to measure ds' torso. Do I measure from shoulder to crotch? Shoulder to bum? Not sure and wanting to make sure I'm getting it right. Thanks!

    Anyone considering a Sunshine Kids seat, read this FIRST!!

    I am posting this here as well as the Canadian side, since I realized that Americans may also be interested in the BEYOND crappy Customer Service I received from Sunshine Kids regarding the short strap issue. Well...you can add me to the list of ticked off customers. :mad: I DID call Transport...
