    My son wants to see out the window! Thickest booster?

    I know that this is going to sound strange, but I'm wondering if anyone knows which of the boosters might boost kids the highest. My son is 8 years old, 50 pounds and pretty dang short. We drive quite a bit and he loves to be able to look out the windows. It was fine in my Odyssey, but we...

    Does over/under shoulder heigh matter on an airplane?

    I asked a question earlier about using the CARES harness, and I'm still deciding, but one problem that I realized when we flew last time is that when we FF my daughter in her Scenera on the plane, the harness is below her shoulders. When she RF in the car, this isn't a problem, but it's at the...

    Air travel conundrum

    I'm flying solo with my 7 year old and 3.5 year old. We'll have car seats available on both sides. I'm not sure what to do with my 3.5 year old. We took our Scenera on a trip in July and I didn't realize that she didn't fit in it forward facing. The one time that she's too big for something...

    A Rat loved our Britax

    So, apparently, when a rat decides to make your husband's car a home, it really finds some awesome materials from your Britax. It looks like it ate some of the harness and really liked the foam. I should just toss the seat, right? I really wasn't planning on getting a new seat. We were using...

    Not liking the 2010 Odyssey

    Eek..is that bad? My husband bought it used 2 years ago for himself but when we had our second kiddo, he gave it to me. But, I don't enjoy driving it. Despite buying new tires (researched heavily), it skids all the time. Parts are starting to go on it and I'm just feeling like it's time to move...

    Mom too short, car too tall, Nextfit too enormous?

    My husband has 1995 Toyota Landcruiser. I did a bunch of research and decided on the Chico Nexfit thinking it would work best based on the car. Boy was I wrong. I seriously can't get the baby in. It's rear facing and baby is a small 10 month old. Between me being short, car being tall, and...

    Graco base question

    I currently have the Graco snugride 32. I started another thread about getting a different seat. Through that thread, the graco snugride 30 was brought up as an alternative. I've tried looking but am so confused. Will the Graco SnugRide Classic Connect 30 Infant Car Seat work on the Snugride...

    Keep Snugride 32 or get new seat?

    I am looking for some advice. When my son was born 4 years ago, I purchased the Graco Snugride 32. And boy, did I hate that seat! My son was tiny and it was still so heavy feeling. I ended up leaving the seat in the car and just taking my son out. I am due in a month with my second and am...

    Question Good seat for small 3 year old

    I've gone through more car seats than I'd care to admit. I am looking for a new one for my three year old son. He is 26 pounds. He's outgrown the Zeus 360 we had in my husband's car. We are presently using our travel carseat in there which I hate. We also have a Radian, but immensely hate...
