    new booster for a 10 year old?

    My daughter is 10 years old and weighs almost 70 pounds and I think she is about 53 inches give or take. In my car she rides in a Diono Monterey. Usually she rides without the back, but we have the option to attach the back for long trips where I want her to sleep in the car. She also rides...

    Can she go without a booster?

    My daughter is about 52 inches and 65 pounds and is 9 years old. We are driving my old 2010 Dodge Caliber for about a month, borrowed from my father while my sister is borrowing my Town and Country. Part of the reason I had sold this and bought a new car was because with a booster seat my kids...

    how to store the tether when not used with th Radian

    I am installing the radian outboard 3rd row in the T&C. Well actually I have to Radians. I have one of the early ones installed rf in the center seat. It is not tethered. I had no issues wrapping up the unused tether and sticking it in the "pocket" on the back of the car seat. The one...

    Seatbelt question - middle 3rd row 2013 T&C

    I think this seat belt is called a lightweight locking latch plate. When at the correct angle, the seat belt doesn't slide through the latch plate. It is a lap/shoulder belt that comes from the ceiling, connects on one side of the seat and crosses over to connect it on the other side. How do...

    question regarding Radian expiration

    I have one of the first radians. DOM is 12/2006. The manual says 6 years for the expiration, but later they changed expirations to 7 then 8 years. I could have sworn I had read on here previously that one or both of those changes were retroactive. so that my Radian would still be useable...

    Another picture of a booster with tilted car headrests

    I'm still having trouble finding a HBB that is compatible with the 2013 T&C given the tilted headrests. Here are pics of the Monterey and the nice gap that is still present. Is this a no go too?

    2013 T&C with a Parkway SGL

    I have tried the Parkway SGL in the captains chair of my 2013 T&C. I've tried both the the captains chair's headrest flipped and and with it flipped down. There are gaps both ways. I am assuming this is a no go. Can anyone confirm?

    2013 Town and Country and boosters

    Hi All! I had a 2010 Dodge Caliber previously and upon posting here, it was determined that due to the fixed and angled forward head rests that there were no HBB that were compatible because nothing could rest flat on the seat. Both of my kids are in NBB right now. I just bought a 2013 Town...

    What to do when a child sits too high in the NBB for the shoulder belt.

    We can't use a HBB because of compatibility issues (although we have not tried the Oobr yet), so my daughter has been in an Evenflo Amp NBB. But it positions her too high for the shoulder belt so that it is too low on her shoulder. It is too wide for how high she sits in the booster. As she...

    sleeping in the car with a NBB

    Hello, We are finding that it has been extremely difficult to find a HBB that is compatible with my car. We were using a TB, but it isn't compatible I found out. So we are using a NBB right now. My question now is, what happens when we travel and I need my 8 year old to sleep in the car...

    FR85 harness height question

    I was looking at our FR85 today and noticed that my daughter only has a click or 2 left for how much higher the headrest can go. She is only 4 and not freakishly huge. My 7 year old still fits in it (or at least she did this summer) and is about 5-6 inches taller than the 4 year old, but most...

    Diono vs. SK Monterey

    Other then the shoulder belt guide, are there other difference between the Diono and the Sunshine Kids Monterey? Is there any reason to get one version instead of the other?

    booster fit in car

    I have 2 questions regarding the fit of the booster seat in the car. I had a 2010 Dodge Caliber and the outboard seats have fixed headrests the angle forward. I have had no problems with car seats fitting in despite the headrests. I have used a recaro Signo, a BLVD, and a FR85 and all three fit...

    Boosters for car sleeping

    My almost 8 year old has trouble staying in her booster when we do long drives at night (when I expect and want her to sleep). She is currently in a TB. She leans her head back and on the headrest, but her body still slides out. She has been getting better about it, but I can't help but think...
