    Disneyworld Fail

    This is just about the only place I can vent this to understanding people. We just returned from Disneyworld, and left the boosters at home because we were staying on disney property and only riding on magic express and the disney buses from the hotel to the parks. Well we were booked on the...

    Why 2 armrest settings on TB?

    WOndering why there are 2 arm rest settings for the turbobooster -- just for comfort? any guidelines about ages or weight/height at which you should use each setting. I set mine at the lowest thinking the belt is more secure there. And yes have the screws in:-) Where and why have you sets...

    oh my mom!

    my MOM is doing terribly with car seat safety. I wanted to think about putting my daughter in a booster in her car but it is going to have to wait until my daughter can buckle and tighten the belt completely herself! I know she just wont tighten the belt or put it through the correct way...

    f250 ext cab and marathon --

    I reinstalled my 5 yo marathon in the truck today as I needed to rethread the harnesses, and I think I might have found top tethers (if you push the seats forward as if to close them they are there. THere are no lower anchors in this vehicle (very weird as it is a 2008) and the back seats are...

    the integrated booster cushion -- better or worse?

    okay, another option, and I can buy the cover from the dealer that gives head and side cushions (for comfort and positioning -- not SIP). IS the volvo integrated seat an improvement over the turbobooster or even worse??

    adjusted turbobooster :-(

    okay, now I think I am too high up. The clicks were not audible so I had a hard time adjusting it correctly (and then I ran out of time). I thought I went up one space but it seems like such a large distance now that I am posting the picture. also, someone in the earlier post noted she was...
