    Advice please!

    I need advice! My little (37lb) almost 6 yr old has me questioning my stand on full time boostering (only after 6yrs AND 40lbs). For the sake of carpool and possible emergency pick up by others I got her a chicco kidfit and let her use it for short rides to booster train. She’s wonderful in a...

    Emergency spare

    My 30lb 4 year old rides in a Rainier in my car and her spare (contender) will be getting installed as a more permanent item in DH's SUV. I would like a emergency spare to store in the garage if god forbid something happens and someone needs to grab her from school. She is very mature and school...

    Need help deciding on a convertible for 3 across

    I have a 2015 Subaru Forester. I had posted previously about latchable nbb's but my daughter fell in love with the $13 harmony from Walmart so I just got two of those. My 4 year old has been in a Britax Pioneer that we both love but it's too tight to buckle the nbb's when I need to have the...

    Latchable backless boosters

    This is for my will be 8 yr old in September. She is about 50" and 55lbs. She got her first backless ride this week when I needed 3 across in my car and really likes it. Her primary seat is a high rack pkwy sgl, with the back off there was a area of seat with no cover that she didn't like. Her...

    Evenflo Chase?

    I will be turning DD2 FF when she turns 3 in June in my DH's car. It is a tiny prius c and my knees are literally in the dash when we all ride together. She is currently 33" and 23lbs clothed no shoes. I wanted to see if the 40lb limit of the chase would get us to 6/7 since she is tiny? It would...

    Frontier 85 help

    My almost 6 year old's car seat is a frontier 85. She has a torso of 17", when the seat is installed in my obnoxious car to pass the less than 1" of movement at the belt path test she needs the harness in the top position. I am losing 2" of harness height due to the sloped, scooped rear seats...

    BOB Revolution SE VS Baby Jogger

    I am trying to decide between these 2. Revolution SE and Baby Jogger city classic. Pros/cons? Does one have a more compact fold? I'm not sure I will be jogging with it but I will be out for walks and going over different terrain (pavement, gravel, grass, etc) Would love help deciding! Thanks!

    To trade or not?

    So you all seem very stroller savvy, I would love your opinions :) I have a pliko p3 that I posted on CL to sell or trade for a b-agile, aria or city mini or micro. I received a response asking if I would be interested in a Quinny Zapp? I am looking to trade because even though the pliko has the...

    Expiration ?

    I just registereed my daughters Evenflo Maestro and the card that came with the seat says DOM 8/7/12 and expires 8/6/18 which makes it good for 6 years. In the carseat data thread for the Maestro it says they are good for 8 years. Has something changed? Thanks

    Graco SR30

    I was reading the infant seat rec thread and noticed almost everyone would recommend the SR30. Why? I have one for DD2 and I hate it! She seems to also. I loosen the straps to take her out of the seat and they appear to be even (I pull by holding the center of the closed chest clip) When I...

    To booster or not?

    I'm torn on this, I have seen and heard enough to make me very nervous with boostering a child under 40lbs. DD1 is 4, 43in and 33lbs. She is full time harnessed with me and will be til she is 6/7, We had a harnessed seat for her in DH's car but we moved and now she is almost never in there so I...

    Is this a good deal?

    The true fit C650 is on sale at Diapers.com for $181.99, they sent me a coupon code for 15% off making it $154.69. It seems like a good price? Code is just for this weekend so if it is I need to convince DH to buy the baby's seat a few months early! Thanks!

    Which harness slot to use? SR30

    Laynie is 15 weeks, about 11 pounds, not sure about torso but still fits in nb size onesies. This is a SR30. Not sure which harness slot to use? First pic is on the 2nd slot which seems to be "at" her shoulders. Second is on the botom slot. Thanks!

    Removing crayon from a harness??

    Does anyone know how to remove crayon from a car seat harness? My daughter decided to decorate hers yesterday! When asked about it I was told that it is "beautiful" now. IDK if it matters but it's a SKR80 grey harness. Thanks!!

    Move harness up??

    She seems to be level with the current slot but the next one up is sooo much farther up, should I move her? She just recently went forward facing, I think I'm just used to making sure its below her shoulders! Thanks!!
