    Budget-friendly FF seat for grandparents?

    My 10 mo DD is about to outgrow her Keyfit. Both of my parents have Evenflo Tributes that my almost-4-yo has been using. Since that's a small-ish seat, my plan is to use the Tributes RF for the 10 mo, and get 2 new seats for the 4yo. I'd like not to spend a lot since I'm buying 2 seats, but I...

    Question Radians for everyone?

    My 9-month-old daughter is getting close to being too tall for the Keyfit 30, and my 3 1/2-year-old son is still RF in a Radian RXT in both of our cars. We're trying to debate between getting 2 more Radians for her, or if we should move her into the Radians my son is using and look for...

    ERF toddler + newborn in small backseat?

    My husband and I both drive small-ish sedans (Hyundai Elantra for me and Toyota Corolla for him). We have a Radian RXT in each of our cars, RF in the center seat, for our 2 1/2 yo son. He's tall-ish and skinny (25 lbs, 35") and I don't want to forward face him any time soon if I can help it...

    Radian RXT body support cushion

    For those of you with Radians, how big was your child when you removed the body support cushion? We have this seat in the middle back RF in both of our cars (2009 Corolla and 2010 Elantra) for our 2-year-old who's about 26 lbs and 34". I'm trying to give the little guy a little more leg room...

    Flying with toddler - several questions!

    We will be traveling with our 15-month-old in a few weeks and I'm trying to wrap my head around what I should expect and how to make the trip go as smoothly as possible. Hopefully the veteran travelers here can help me! We bought him a seat and will bring a carseat for him (which we'll use in...

    Center or outboard install for grandparents' car?

    My DS is getting close to outgrowing his Keyfit, and both of my parents have bases installed which has been very convenient, but now I'm looking for one (or maybe two) lower-priced convertibles. My mom drives a minivan (Odyssey I think) so no center install there, but my Dad has a 2009 Elantra...

    Radian RXT - any tricks for belt install?

    I'm installing RF center in a 2010 Elantra. I'm finding it really tricky to fish the seat belt through the belt path. It wasn't too bad when my husband helped me, but doing it myself was almost impossible (at least with adult-sized hands). Is there any trick to this? I did eventually get it...

    Disappointed with Nextfit...Radian center belt install?

    It looks like the Nextfit isn't going to be the perfect seat I thought it would be (at least for my car, a 2010 Hyundai Elantra). I have two main issues: (1) Only the 1st 3 recline settings (the most reclined) have the bubble in between the lines, and (2) it's hard to get DS in and out of the...

    Questions on Nextfit install

    BRU finally got my Nextfit in, and I thought I did a pretty good job installing it, but I was a little thrown off by a couple steps in the process. (I'm new to convertables.) I installed it RF in the center of my 2010 Hyundai Elantra. The instructions said to have it at the most reclined...

    NextFit ETA?

    I'm looking to get a NextFit for my 8 mo DS who is getting close to reaching the height limit on the Keyfit (and, even though he's only about 17 lbs, we're tired of lugging the seat around!) Color-wise, I'm not too particular. I like the Intrigue (with the black and gray/black pattern), but...

    Center install practical for short-ish mama?

    I have a Hyundai Elantra and my son is about to graduate from his Keyfit, which is on the passenger side. I haven't picked out a convertible yet, but I think I would like to install it in the center for the extra safety margin (he is our only kiddo). But I'm kinda short (5'4") and a wondering...

    NextFit...worth the wait?

    I am trying to choose a convertible for the first time, for a tall baby in a small car (my post here explains more: http://www.car-seat.org/showthread.php?p=2486269#post2486269) and I had pretty much narrowed it down to the TFP, but then I saw that Chicco is debuting its seat soon. It looks...

    TFP vs SI

    I think I've narrowed my decision down to the TFP (at least for my 2010 Elantra), but now I'm seeing there's a newer "Side Impact" model - anyone know the differences? I'm having trouble finding a comparison but if anyone knows, you all would!

    Good blog or website for carseat deals?

    Sorry, I tried to post this in the "deals" section but it wouldn't let me. Does anyone know of a blog or other website that posts the latest online and in-store deals on car seats (or strollers too)? I love Baby Cheapskate and Baby Savers, and follow them in Google Reader. They occasionally...

    New to convertibles - please help me get started!

    My almost-8-month-old son is getting close to outgrowing his Keyfit 30 by height. He's 16 lbs and about 28-29" long so he's pretty tall and skinny (I haven't measured his torso but it seems to mostly be in his legs). I drive a 2010 Elantra and DH drives a 2006 Corolla so both are pretty...
