    Odyssey '10 and 6 child seats

    I am trying to find a way that I can fit my four kids (siggy is wrong, I have 4 kids, 5yo ff, 3yo ff, 2yo who normally rf unless she can steal a siblings seat, and 6mo currently in a snugride, but almost ready for a convertible seat) I also have three nieces who regularly need to ride with me...

    Help me fit five in my odyssey!

    I really need to be able to do a 3 across in my 10 Odyssey, in either the middle or back row. I would really like to have a scenario where I could put in a turbo booster (that is what I already have) and take it out as needed, without having to move other seats. This is what I have: 1 Graco My...

    Question when to move straps on snug ride

    My youngest is 9 weeks, and still on the lowest slots in his sunrise. I am not using the infant inserts, just a head positioner. He is definitely above the lowest set of slots by a good deal, but it seems to depend on how you measure whether he is at or above the second set. When you set him in...

    Tiny baby, no infant supports?

    Haven't been here in a while, but we are in an interesting situation and I need help pretty quick. Short story: we have been trying to adopt baby 4 and were called Wednesday with an immediate placement. Baby was born via emergency c-section, and weighed 4lb 11oz at birth. I don't have his...

    new seat- who choses?

    I have convinced DH that we need another harness to booster seat, as I really dislike our maestro for everyday use (it will remain our travel/spare seat, though) I have narrowed our search down to the Argos or the Frontier. I would like something that has no-rethread harnesses since I carpool...

    low profile seat? radian Q's

    I am looking for at least one new seat for DD- she rides in a FF MR or a Maestro. I don't love the Maestro- the one piece harness drives me nuts, and for some reason the fabric causes her hair to tangle/mat if she moves around a lot. I LOVE the MR, but it is just so huge, and as she gets older...

    reason to NOT use maestro?

    So, I recently got DD a maestro (which I am exchanging, there is another thread about it) DD has tried out the seat in Target, and has ridden in one a couple of times, and she really likes it (so far, she hasn't fallen asleep in one or anything). She is very small- the stats in my siggy are...

    Maestro in damaged box WWYD?

    I just received my Maestro from amazon, and the box was totally dented and torn. The torn part is all taped over, like either the box was a return or UPS did it. I am so bummed, DS was so excited to get her new seat. I haven't opened the box yet, but it sounds like there is NO packaging holding...

    3 across in grand caravan

    We will be traveling to FL with the grandparents, and if at all possible we would like to be able to fit all 3 carseats in one row so that we only have to rent one car (this would mean 4 adults and 3 carseats in one car) The carseats that I have to play with are: 2 sceneras, one SR 30 (we would...

    MyRide 65 vs LX 65?

    What is the difference between these two seats? I have two MR 65, when I got them, there weren't any options, I don't think. Now my 3rd LO is outgrowing her bucket, and am planning on getting a 3rd MR for her as well. It seems like there is very little difference- is it only different padding...

    cleaning a MR (warning puke mentioned)

    This evening, I actually asked myself whether it would be more worth it to clean up puke or buy a new car seat. Yeah, that bad... This evening, my son puked all over his seat. Like, a lot. Currently, I have the cover, clothes, and shoes in the wash (on hand wash) and have cleaned the car seats...

    tall convertible

    I have gotten lots of help here, so now my sister-in-law wants me to help her choose her next seat. I don't have the specific torso height of her LO, but he is 19 lbs and 28.25 in. at 6 mo. He is getting close to outgrowing his KF by height, and is just starting to wear 9-12 mo clothes...

    help me choose JUST ONE seat!

    YDD will be moving out of her bucket seat by this summer at the latest, and I will need to have a new seating arrangement for my car. I rarely move the seats around, and almost never put them in another car. Ideally, I will leave DS in his MR RF, put YDD in the other MR RF, and get a new...

    should I get Dionos?

    As with every time I need a new seat, I am totally over-thinking this. My friends call me a car-seat fanatic and can't believe that my 19 mo is still RF, and that I kept my DD RF to 3 (I would have kept her RF longer if I could have found a reasonable way to fit 3 RF seats and get all the kids...

    combination booster time

    As I was buckling in our youngest today, I realized that she is nearing needing to have her straps moved to the next slots on her snugride. She is 4 mo, and while she still has plenty of growing room in the SR, I have started to think about our next step in car seats. Though she will probably...
