    ? about Frontier as booster

    Hello everyone, I just changed out my Britax Frontier from harness mode to booster mode. Did I read the instructions correctly to say that I could secure it with latch? I am assuming that is just to keep the seat from being loose if DD is not buckled into it? DD had outgrown the vehicle's...

    That seemed too easy...(Frontier)

    Hello, We just got the Frontier for our 3 year old. I was expecting it to be difficult to install based on reviews that I read, but it didn't seem difficult at all. So, now I'm wondering if I did something wrong. (only half kidding.) Additionally - this is my first time installing with the...

    Frontier or Nautilus? Or Regent?

    Hello, DD is 3 years old and 38 lbs. and 38 inches. Since we are just about to outgrow the latch limits of our Honda Odyssey, I think this is a good time to transition her seat as well. I have looked at the Graco Nautilus and the Britax Frontier and this is probably going to sound like a...

    Belt installation in ody?

    Hello, DD will soon exceed the manufacturers limits for latch installation (40 lbs.) We have a 2006 Honda Odyssey and have the car seat positioned in the 2nd row passenger side (is that considered outboard?) with the "plus one" seat removed and the passenger seat slid over to the middle. I...

    Taking off the BLVD cover to clean

    OK, I know the manual tells you how to do it, but before I end up with a tangled mess, I want to know some real-world stories about how easy/hard it is to take off the BLVD cover and get it back on. Any tips to make it as easy as possible? I'm intimidated! Thank you!!

    TrueFit RF in 08 Accord

    Hello, I just got my new TrueFit today. This seat is for DH's car, which is a 2008 Honda Accord. We are going to keep her RF until the limits of the carseat. I have questions: 1. Can I install the seat in the middle of the back seat? The car owner's manual did not specifically say not to...

    How did you pick your cover?

    Hi, I'm just wondering if you chose your car seat cover to be "boy" or "girl" or to match your car's interior? Or if you even cared about that? I'm about to buy a second carseat. It's mostly my husband's car, but we'll be swapping cars more often when I return to work. My BLVD has the...

    RF...without tether?

    Hello again, Thanks for your replies to my earlier post. I have narrowed it down to either a EFTA or the True Fit. Because we currently have a Britax BLVD in our mini-van, it is tethered. Please refresh my memory...isn't Britax one of the only ones that can be tethered RF? Or could I...

    2nd seat options?

    Hello, I am seeking your opinions about a second seat for DD. She is 19 months and 28 lbs and 34 inches. (90th percentile for height and weight.) The second seat will be going into a 2008 Honda Accord. It will stay installed in that car. We keep a Scenera as a spare and for airplanes. I...

    Cosco Altura or Baby Trend Trendsport Lite?

    Hello, Does anyone have any real world experience with either of these strollers? I know they are cheapies...but they are the only ones I can find that seem to meet all my needs. Which is both a good turning radius and, oddly enough, a child tray/cup holder and a parent cup holder that is...

    Input from Hyundai owners?

    Hello, We are looking at buying a Hyundai Sonata, but don't have any experience with Hyundai or know anyone who has one. (We are comparing to the Camry and the Accord and trying to save some $$$) How's the reliability? Is there a catch with the extended warranty? Is it a comfortable ride...

    Corolla, Mazda3, or Sentra?

    Hello, I am wondering what your personal experiences are with these vehicles. We are getting a small car for DH due to his commute. They all seem to rank "medium risk" on the informedforlife website (I guess because of their size) The Mazda3 and Sentra come standard with side curtain airbags...

    Angle in BLVD for ERF?

    Hello, DD is 13 months, 30 inches and 23 pounds. We're going to keep her rear-facing. We have a 2006 Honda Odyssey and a Britax Boulevard. Now that DD is getting bigger, she looks like she is sitting down in a hole. She sits up (work those abs girl!!!) all the time to look around. I...
