    narrow FF 3 across FF harness/booster option

    We are planning what carseat/booster purchase we need to put 3 across in a Volvo V60. The car will have built-in boosters on the two outer seats but probably only one child can sit height-wise in one at first. - 9 year old - tall but doesn't 5-step yet - 5 year old - 40 lbs and short for his...

    travel seat for 6 year old

    Hi! We are headed to France and Belgium for a few weeks. We will not have a car and will travel mostly by train. However, we will be staying with friends for two weeks and I'm sure the "opportunity" will arise for car travel. Their kids don't travel in car-seats or booster seats, etc. so...

    booster for sensory kid

    Hi! I'm looking for a booster for our 6 year old who has some sensory issues and doesn't really like to feel "open". The Parkway and TurboBooster both seem to feel too open to him. The Monterey seems okay at the tightest setting but we're a little concerned about the shoulder belt guide issue...

    Anyone know which booster this is?

    We are curious to know which booster this might be. Volvo typically re-badges other companies seats. Would love to know what this is. http://accessories.volvocars.com/AccessoriesWeb/Accessories.mvc/en-US/US/S60/2004/R%20AWD/all/L.H.D/ShowDocument/VCC-425790 Thanks!

    HBB rec for use in various cars

    We are looking for a HBB for our DS1 who just turned 6. He is 48", 47#, and is currently right at the top slots of our TFP. This booster will mostly be for our car-pool arrangement to/from school which is 25 minutes on busy high-ways. Right now, that is in the 3rd row of a Toyota Sienna...

    Frontier - is SBP only for lap belt?

    I don't have a Frontier 85 but am trying to do a little research for one we might install for our car-pooler. Her parents said the belt is too short in their Sienna. Can the SBP be used with a lap/shoulder belt or is it only for lap belts? Any tricks to getting one properly installed in a...

    So sad. TWE is broken

    The "foot" on our TWE broke this morning when transferring it to a different car. The plastic peg that the foot swivels with broke on one side. Does anyone know if we could still use the seat FF in this condition? Ugh!

    Dilemma w/ Swedish seat & 2 seater car

    Our 5.5 year old has blissfully been riding in a TWE in my husband's two seater car RF with the air bag disabled. They commute 25 minutes every morning to his school in this car. He is 45 pounds and has two inches to go until the tips of his ears are level with the top of the seat. However...

    Swedish FixWay - pulling arms out

    DS2 just turned two and rides in a Britax FixWay. He has started pulling his arms out no matter how tight the harness is. At this point, he tells me, I pull over, sternly tell him he can NOT pull his arms out. He says "only Mami" but then does it again later. I thought he had stopped but...

    shocking RF 3 across with 2 Swedish seats & some questions

    I needed to transport two extra kids today and wasn't sure if it would be possible with our big Swedish seats in our Volvo XC90. However, I had a MT on the driver's side then a Britax Boulevard (from 2006), then a Britax FixWay. All rear facing. It was like stair steps with the Multi-Tech...

    Radian - 45 degrees RF regardless of age?

    I've never had a radian, but a mom is saying her manual says that the seat must be at least 45 degrees reclined when RF regardless of age. Do people use parental discretion to install more upright or is this perhaps a mis-interpretation of the manual? Thanks!

    TWE & MT buckle pics

    Now that DS2 is finally out of the hospital, I have finally gotten around to pictures of the TWE buckle as promised and added a pic of the back of the TWE pillow and of the MT buckle as well... TWE Un-buckled: TWE Buckled: MT Buckled: Back of TWE pillow: Now for the explanation behind...

    Urgent dilemma

    We are 3.5 hours from home. My DH injured his leg and MUST sit with his leg braced absolutely straight. He can't fit like this with RF car-seat behind him. Our almost 5 year old is riding RF in a MT and is 44 pounds. He has never been booster trained although I feel like he would sit properly as...
