    Question Save me from myself - which booster?

    So I am in the market for a couple of boosters. My sons are 8 years old (52" tall and 53lbs) and 6 years old (48" tall and 41lbs). My older son has been using a graco affix, which I need to pass on to my mother in law (she already has a graco turbobooster with safety surround). My younger son...

    RF tether anchor in 2013 odyssey

    Can anyone help me with this? I just can't figure out where is the proper place to tether my RF Radian? The base of the seats are covered with plastic so I am finding it impossible to locate a good tether point. Please clue me in if I am missing something or off-base with this!

    Researching boosters, turbobooster with ss or parkway sgl

    So I was leaning toward the graco until I saw the parkway on sale at kohl's plus I have a 30 percent. So both prices are under 100. I'm not 100 percent concerned about the latch ability of the parkway, though that is nice. But how important is the extra strap that the parkway provides to prevent...

    Am I being an overprotective nudge?

    So my mother in law will be helping me randomly throughout the year to drop my son to school. The school is literally 2 suburban blocks from her home. She (along with most of my relatives) thinks I am crazy for my carseat obsessions - even with the videos, information, etc. that I have forwarded...

    Encouragement for RF longer AND recommendation for Xtra FF Seat

    Hello! I haven't posted in some time now but I recently upgraded to a 2013 Odyssey and have some new topics! First, my youngest is now 3.5 years old (32lbs and 39") and RFing in Radians in both of our cars. I know the absolute merits of keeping him RFing longer (my older son was able until he...

    pioneer 70 why the price reduction

    So at my local BRU I saw several pioneer 70 for 185 marked down from 229 on a sale shelf. The regular car seat shelf had the "same" pioneer 70 priced at 229. Now I see this same discrepancy when I do online searches as well. Is this related to the iihs rating and the changes in seats or am I way...

    evenflo triumph expiration

    So I think my question on this got lost at the bottom of another one of my posts. I have an evenflo triumph that has an expiration sticker that says 2018? Am I looking at the right thing? This seems like a long time. I purchased the seat in 2010.

    What's my next move (from RF to FF)

    So here goes. I have two sons - DS 1 - 3 years 11 months, 40" tall and 32 lbs (RF in a radian in my car, FF in radian in dad's car since a trip last month that necessitated room for another adult in the car) DS 2 - 2 years old, 34" tall and 28lbs (RF in a radian & an evenflo triumph) This is...

    should I be ok with "safe enough" in grandparent car

    So its rare that my MIL drives either of my kids but in the event it needs to happen I put my evenflo triumph in her car. Since its easy to adjust the straps I knew it would work for her using it for my 3.5 year old, his 3.5 year old cousin, and technically my little one (21 months). I am kinda...

    if you have three kids...

    Is it worth it to have an suv with a third row? I drive 30 miles to work so gas efficiency is a big deal and if I can fit 3 across in a car, I am trying to figure if I will regret not sacrificing mpg for space. If you have 3, and were replacing a car, what would you do? I have 2 kids now but am...

    new radian release

    I dont know where to post this so I am sorry if it needs to be moved. I am thinking of getting a second radian but then I saw picks of the new and "improved" version. It looks like the sides are a bit deeper? Does anyone know when this will be out or if its really improved from what is out now?

    area car seat check

    I looked for a tech in the south jersey area but didnt find one. Any suggestions on where to go or who to call in the area. There was a dealership nearby that used to do it on certain days but it closed.

    evenflo triumph FF height info & expiration

    I am thinking of passing this seat to my MIL because I think it would work well for her. Straps are easy to adjust and she sometimes has our son and sometimes has her other grandson. The FF height limit says 50 inches which we are far off from but when my son sits in the seat, it doesnt look...

    Teach me about tethering

    So I am clueless on this but want to know more. My RF radian right now is tethered but I dont know why some seats are tethered and others are not (ie our evenflo triumph). Can a seat be tethered to something when it is in the center seat position rf? None of my seats are forward facing yet but...

    Hi all. I am getting some info on another post about possibly getting a second radian. My first one does not have the head wings. Im debating getting them if I purchase another one. Ive heard they might restrict the use ff as the child grows? Is that true? Im searching the forum now cause im...
