    Question Replacement seats/3 across Ford Focus

    I have several questions. Thank you for your patience as I sort this out. My husband was in an accident last week, driving our 2010 Jetta SportswagenTDI, with an unoccupied, but installed (via click tight) Frontier 90, and a Evenflo Amp NBB (which was not belted, simply sitting on the seat--DH...

    Question Winter Baby?

    Number 3 is due at the end of November. 1 and 2 are June babies...so this tiny baby in the winter is new to me. With our first two, I just dressed them in light layers and tucked a blanket around them in the carseat. We street park...and now have a twice daily school run (which will likely...

    Seat recommendation, please.

    I need a recommendation for a seat for my son. He is currently riding in a Britax classic marathon RF in a 2010 VW Jetta Sportwagen and a SK radian XTSL in a 2014 Odyssey. He is in both vehicles with equal frequency. He's 3yrs, 1mo; 38.5-39 inches tall; 34 lbs fully clothed, shoed, diapered...

    By suggestions as to how to get three across the third row of Honda Odyssey 2009? Two FF radians and a HBB. Which HBB would you suggest? (Available via Amazon prime would be ideal)

    Seats in 2014 Odyssey

    We are on the brink of buying a 2014 Odyssey. And quite frankly, we are sold...but prepare me so I can prepare my husband with regards to our car seat fleet and compatibility! Currently we have a Frontier 90 Frontier 85 Britax Classic Marathon (to expire next spring) Britax Classic Roundabout...

    Question What to look for buying NIB keyfit

    An acquaintance is selling a nib Keyfit 30 (manufacture 8/13) that she purchased, decided she couldn't use, and didn't return to Target within the 90 day window). She has not opened the box. She agreed that I could open to inspect before buying. What should I look for to ensure it is new...

    Air travel recommendation

    We are taking a last minute trip next week to see family. We will be flying-two short legs each way. My 5 year old (to be 6 in June) has always flown in a car seat. At home she is harnessed full time and will be for the foreseeable future (she is kinetic and impulsive). Once at our...

    Cracked searbelt VW Jetta Wagon

    I have a 2010 VW Jetta Wagon with a Frontier 90 installed passenger outboard. I noticed the other day that the plastic part of the male end of the car's seatbelt appears to be cracked. I haven't investigated it further and I assume it is not safe for the child to ride in the seat in this...

    Travel harnessed seat for 6 year old

    I have a friend looking for a harnessed seat for her 6 year old for an upcoming trip. The child is 36 pounds, 43". Mom isn't ready to booster. Seat is needed for flight to Florida then use in a rental minivan! Extra points for economy and lightweight!

    Vibration noise in unoccupied Frontier 90

    I just installed our new Frontier 90 passenger outboard in a 2010 VW Jetta Sportwagen. The install is rock solid (thanks Click Tight!) and the seat is top tethered. I'm getting lots of vibration noise when the seat isn't occupied (which is most of the time since my 5 year old is in full day...

    Talk to me about projectiles

    I take carseat safety very seriously (to the point that I'm considering pursuing certification). I'm part of an online mama forum where conversation took a strange turn from a tragic accident at a zoo to the McDonalds coffee lawsuit to sippy cups as projectiles. I'm just wondering what the...

    Seat recommendation please

    I just recently found that my SK RN XTSL is most likely incompatible with a FF seatbelt install in our 2011 Mini Cooper Clubman. My to be 5 year old (in June) is approaching 40 lbs and regardless nearly outgrowing the Radian by height. So. She is almost 5. 43.5" standing height. 16.5" torso...

    Question Is this even possible?

    My to be 5 (in June) year old rides in a Frontier 85 in our primary car. She is on the third click from the top/two clicks left on the harness (though is on the cusp of needing to move up to next to last). She's about 43", long torsoed, and has a seated shoulder height of 16"-16.5". She's a...

    Hopes of harnessing forever ;) dwindling

    I am a lurker who's benefitted repeatedly from advice on this site. And I know you ladies will appreciate my angst. I just moved the harness to the second highest slot on my FR85 for my 4 y, 3m super torsoed daughter. Oh my! I had plans of extended harnessing...and I know her torso height...
