    Flying with two kids next week

    Next week I'll be flying with my 6 year old and 14 month old next week. I've purchased a seat for the 14 month old and will be bringing an Onside Air for him. When I've got that seat installed RF in my car, I need a towel to get the angle right. Will I need a towel when I install it on the...

    Momentum LX or DLX

    I'm considering buying the Momentum for DS to ride in. Diapers.com has the LX for $123.40 or the DLX for $185.99. What's the difference between the two models? Thanks.

    Rolled towel vs noodle

    I used a rolled towel to install an onside air last weekend. Is a pool noodle better or does it not really matter?

    Need another convertible car seat.

    I'm looking for a second convertible car seat. Which ones would be the best for me to look at? DS is almost 10 months old. At his 9 month WBV he was in the 75th percentile for weight and the 90th percentile for height. I would like to rear face him as long as possible. I need a seat that can...

    onSide Air install question

    I'm trying to install the onSide Air in my car RF. On the seat, there is a line that says it must be level with the ground. Does it really need to be level with the ground? My son is almost 10 months old so it would be nice to install it more upright. Thanks.

    Traveling with the Vivo

    Does the Vivo travel well? We will be flying on a plane later this year and I was hoping someone had experience with plane travel and the Vivo. Thanks.

    Starting to look for a booster seat

    We will be moving DS into a booster seat later this year. We have a Nautilus which we will switch over to the booster mode. We will need one more seat though. Every year for Christmas, we drive 18-19 hours (one-way) to visit family so I want a booster that will be nice and comfortable for a...

    Car accident now I need a new seat.

    I was in a car accident this morning. My car had to be towed away and my air bags went off, so it's my understanding that the car seat needs to be replaced even though DS wasn't in it. DS will be four in January and is about 36 pounds so I think he still need a 5 point harness. I'm interested...

    Nautilus or Frontier?

    I'm buying a new carseat for DS. He's 3 and around 34lbs. I'm interested in the Nautilus or the Frontier since they will convert into boosters. My car (Passat Wagon) is getting fixed so I can't try installing them. Any thoughts on which one to get? I thought I read that the Nautilus doesn't...

    Do I need a new car seat?

    DS and I were in a car accident today. There doesn't seem to be a lot of damage to my car, but I don't know if it qualifies as a minor accident. Here are the details. A Jetta slammed into a minivan behind me while we were stopped at a red light. Minivan hit me and pushed me into a Suburban...

    Car seat and airplane travel

    DS is currently 3 years old and 32 lbs. We will be traveling by plane in June. Does he need a car seat on the plane? DH is driving out a week before us so he would have the car seat in his car if DS didn't need it on the plane.

    How do you tell people they are using their car seat incorrectly?

    DH, DS, and I were leaving Thanksgiving dinner at about the same time SIL was. I opened up the car door to say good-bye but also to check the car seat usage. I had a feeling that they would probably be used wrong. I knew her DS who is 2.5 is riding in some sort of Eddie Bauer seat and I...

    RF tether spot for Passat wagon

    I just got an 07 Passat wagon. Where can I tether DS's BLVD? He is rear facing behind the passenger seat. Also since he is 18 months old, his seat can be pretty upright since he's a toddler now right? I think I've got a pretty tight install but it will be much better with it tethered...

    Car recommendations please

    It looks like DH and I will be buying him a new car this year. We have just started the search so car recommendations would be nice. We are looking for a fuel efficient car with room in the back for (eventually) two car seats. Currently, we have a 14 month DS RF in a BLVD. By the time we...
