    In Search Of LATCH Straps & Harness Pads from Expired Seats for Non Car Seat Use

    I bought a sleepypod dog harness on ebay and when I received it, the straps that hook to the car's LATCH anchors were missing. Replacement straps are out of stock from the manufacturer but I think LATCH straps from a car seat would work, at least as a temporary solution. If anyone has an...

    LATCH Strap Stuck Btwn Seat & Base of Alpha Omega Elite

    My brother-in-law asked me to help him change the Alpha Omega Elite that they used FF for their 3 year old back to RF for their 10 month old. It was made in 2012 so the base is not removable and somehow the LATCH strap has gotten stuck between the seat and the base with the hooks sticking out...

    Sold! Checking Interest: Harmony Secure Commander

    UPDATE - RETURNED TO RETAILER I ordered a Harmony Secure Commander (the premium version of the Defender 360) for use in a situation that has dissolved so I don't think I have a need for it. It was a "New-Open Box" listing on Blinq so I can return it at no cost but considering the price of the...

    Help Me Decide - Securekid or Sureride

    As I've posted elsewhere, just as a I was planning to transition DS2 (6 yo, 45+" & 46+ lbs) to a hbb in the spring, DH bought a 1997 Chevy extended cab pickup. Based on the available space behind the driver's seat, I think it's wise to keep DS in the center where there will be a low console...

    LATCH Lookup - Tether Anchor Retrofit Location

    Can someone tell me where a tether anchor can be retrofitted in a 1997 Chevy Silverado extended cab? Specifically, I'm interested in the center rear seating position. I pulled the carpeting and didn't see any predrilled holes. Thanks!

    Older Extended Cab Pickup - question re: tether installation

    DH just bought a 1997 extended cab Chevy pickup for the winter. It has one rear door on the passenger side that opens backwards. There are adjustable headrests in the outboard seating positions with lap/shoulder belts that lock at the latch plate. The center seating position has a lap-only...

    HBB Most Comparable to Recaro Vivo

    I'm in the market for a hbb for DS2. He's 5.75 yrs old, approx 43 lbs, 45". For reference, he still has another slot left in both the GN & Maestro. I have plenty of hbb for when he's boostered full time (FR85, GN, ProBooster, & Monterey) but would like something lighter and less bulky for...

    In Search Of Recaro Vivo

    I'd love to find a Recaro Vivo for DS2. Color doesn't really matter since I have a cover from DS1's expired seat.

    Evenflo Buckles

    I read here that Evenflo had recently switched to a different style of buckle that was easier to operate but I just got a SureRide DOM 9/24/13 and it has a buckle like the one on the left. Has anyone actually received a Sureride with or a replacement from Evenflo of the style pictured on the right?

    Seat Belt Latch Plate Plastic Cracked

    DS1 just pointed out to me that the plastic is cracked on the latch plate of his seat belt. It looks like the plastic is just a coating over a metal piece so I don't think it's a safety issue and have contacted the vehicle manufacturer (awaiting response) for confirmation but thought I'd check...

    Maestro in '97 VW Passat

    I tried installing a Maestro outboard in DH's 1997 VW Passat yesterday and could not get an acceptable install. Granted it was hot & humid and we had some place to be so I didn't give it my all but with the long, plastic stalks, I don't think I'm going to be able to get it tight enough. They...

    Seat Belt Install Sliding Captains Seats

    DS's car seat is currently installed with LATCH in the 2nd row captains seat of my 2008 Ford Taurus X. He's only about 36 lbs so I have a while before I need to switch to a seat belt installation but I got to thinking about how a seat belt installation would be affected by sliding the vehicle...

    Quick Response Needed -Big Kid Sport or TB

    Evenflo Big Kid Sport or Graco Turbo Booster for a small child (4 years old, < 40 lbs) in a school suburban? Does the Big Kid Sport fit small kids well and stay together? I'm leaning toward the TB because I know it fits small kids well but I hate that it falls apart so easily. It will need to...
