    Would you be upset?

    I just ordered and received a SS1 from Albee Baby. The ordering and shipping went well, and I got a great price ($139.99 when MSRP = $179.99). I took out the seat and checked the DOM, only to find out that it was manufactured 01/19/07!!! :mad: I've lost over a years worth of use already...

    Any reason NOT to buy from albeebaby?

    I'm a HUGE fan of elitecarseats and am in the market for a SS1. However, elitecarseats has BORING covers and colors for full price. If I'm going to go for a plain black or blue seat, I might as well only spend the $99 they're asking at albeebaby. I know the seat will fit in my car and can't...

    Need Tech Interested in Teaching in N. VA

    I hope this thread is appropriate. If not, I apologize... Some of you may have seen the couple threads I've created asking questions on behalf of my friends. I belong to a group of working moms and, everytime we get together I get barraged with questions about car seats (they know that I'm a...

    A Car Seat Challenge!

    I wrote a few weeks back about a friend of mine with 11 mo. old twins and a 4 1/2 year old in need of convertible car seats. Anyway, I got some good feedback and passed it along to her. She didn't do anything and has now come back to me with a new challenge. Basically, she has 3 cars to...

    Would you sell your Radian to buy a Nautilus?

    Hi all- I have the opportunity to sell my Radian to somebody who desperately wants a used one. Since I know my seat hasn't been in an accident or used incorrectly, I don't have a problem doing this. I'm just wondering if I'll regret my decision. The whole point in getting the Radian was to...

    Would you do it?

    I have the chance to borrow a SS1 for new baby from one of my close friends. I KNOW my friend bought the seat in July 06 and the DOM is May 06, so I don't see a problem there. I also KNOW that the seat hasn't been in ANY wrecks, fender-benders, etc... I asked her if she's ever washed the...

    Infant on Mom's LAP!!

    Saw this story today -- hopefully, I'm not posting redundantly. It just made me sick to my stomach. Poor baby...:( http://www.wmgt.com/node/6044 Woman Charged After Infant Dies In Car Accident Submitted by Candace Thompson on Mon, 01/28/2008 - 10:36am. News State A mother was arrested after...

    Carseat Help for Mom of Twins

    Good Morning Everyone- I have a friend with twins (9 months old) and a 41/2 year old. She has a Toyota Camry (pre-02 so no LATCH) and she needs to move the twins into convertible seats. Of course, she's finding it hard to find 2 convertibles that will fit rear facing in the car and still...

    Graco SS1 G Collection vs. Plain Ol' SS1

    I like the look of the Graco G Collection and found it on sale at albeebaby for $139.99 this week. However, I can still get a regular (non G Collection) SS1 for $119. Is there a big difference between the two? Does the "regular" seat still have EPS? Is $139.99 just too good to pass up for...

    Carseat dilemma! WWYD?

    Good Morning! I have a little dilemma that I need assistance with. Both my husband and I are traveling (to different locations) for business next week. Thankfully, I'm traveling to locations near my IL's so DS can come with me and stay with Grammy and Grampa while I work. My problem? I...

    KeyFit 30 v. SS1

    OK, I've narrowed my choices for an infant seat for new baby to the Key Fit 30 and the SS1. I'm excited to have an infant seat that will RF to 30 lbs. I figure if the baby / seat gets too heavy to carry together, I can still bring the baby out and put him / her into the stroller like I'd have...

    Convertible Seat for Newborn / Infant?

    Just wondering if anyone has had a great experience putting their newborn into a convertible seat from the start... The seats look so big but with the Radian and Recaro starting out at 5 lbs, it sure is tempting to buy just one seat and keep it through preschool. Thanks for any opinions you...

    Recaro Infant Seat???

    This may be a stupid question but, while researching infant seats (due in March), I found two instances (one on epinions and one off a link to a store from epinions) where the Baby-Trend Flex Loc was referred to as a Recaro. Is Recaro making the Baby-Trend seat? If so, that would make a...

    What would you do?

    Well, the new Regent install took a turn for the worst today. I finally had time this morning to work on getting it installed correctly. My DS is 34# (all this time I thought he was at least 35 but dr's appt on Thursday confirmed 34--just barely!) and 41" tall. He either needed the LBP or...

    Need More Regent Install Details

    I realize that we're still waiting to see if Britax is going to make a major recall announcement today (btw I just checked the Britax site and there is nothing there even hinting to a recall -- just two different manuals for the pre and post 6/18 DOM). However, I need some further insight about...
