Need to replace Britax Marathon?
My son peeled off the sticker on my britax marathon. I emailed them to see about getting a replacement sticker and they told me I can not get a replacement sticker and to stop using the seat. I'm not sure WHY a seat would become unsafe simply because a sticker fell off. It's a spare seat that...- happymom

Incognito
I heard a rumor that the Incognito booster seat was going to be discontinued (Is there truth to this?). This is a seat that I have loved from afar for a very long time. I have a 6.5 year old who is still much too small to use it (34-35lbs). I know it requires the child to be 60lbs to use it...- happymom

5 year old in car seat on plane...photo?
My son is 6, but around your child's size. I hope this is helpful. This is on southwest airlines in June. I didn't have any problem with him kicking the seat, however, I arranged our seats so that my other child was in the seat directly in front of him -- just in case.- happymom

Crashed - Need New Seats
I was in a wreck on the freeway (with empty seats) and need to replace my children's car seats. I drive a 2012 Buick Verano (it will be repaired, not replaced) and I have two kids that both ride outboard. My oldest turns 6 next month, he is around 32.5 pounds and 40" tall (tiny). He has been...- happymom

Booster Belt Fit
Does everything look ok here? I think we'll eventually get a dedicated booster (I was thinking the Chicco one?) But does he look too small? I think the belt fit looks good. Am I right? This is a Harmony Defender seat, by the way, should I try the headrest down one click? I feel like he's...- happymom

Boostering before 40lbs
This is spawning off another post where wendythomas said "But at seven a child is completely safe forward facing in a harness or in a booster seat if they're over 40 pounds." I'm wondering if a 7 year old is not yet 40lbs, are they not safe in a booster? My harnessed 5 year old is 30lbs, which...- happymom

Clek Oobr
Why is the clek oobr so expensive? What makes it better than other highback boosters? Just curious, I kind of like it and my oldest is getting closer to booster age/weight so I'm wondering if it's worth looking at despite the price.- happymom

Cosco Scenera almost outgrown...
I don't know why it looks like that up against the window....but up against the floorboard/frame/ground it is level. I feel confident that he is safe. I can definitely see that it doesn't look correct up against the far side window though...hmph...doesn't seem possible for it to be parallel to...- happymom

Cosco Scenera almost outgrown...
Seems to fit ok. I adjusted to recline 1, move the straps so they will be above his shoulders (but he's in school now) and installed with seatbelt and red lockoff, attached top tether. I removed the infant cushion and moved the crotch buckle to the outer slot. Folded the foot in on the...- happymom

I have a 2010 Nissan Frontier Crew Cab. Right now I have my 4y7m old in the middle in a Cosco Scenera (Expires 2019) in the center seating position and my 1 year old in a Britax Marathon G3 (Expires 2020) behind the driver.

Infant seat and Combo seat recommendation?
I drive a 2012 Buick Verano (which is the same as the Chevy Cruze) I am due with #2 and have a 3 year old rear facing in a Marathon (DOM 2/13). He prefers to be in the center if possible, because he can see better out the windows. He will continue rear facing as long as he fits. I've got my...- happymom

Convertible for a newborn
My first son was 20" but only 5lbs 12oz when discharged from the hospital. I need a sure fit for small babies. Then I have to decide what to do with my almost 3 year old who is currently 22lbs and 33". He will be 3 1/2 when baby comes and I assume he will still be extra small (he wears 12-18m...- happymom
