    Booster for a (big) three year old?

    I am returning to work quite suddenly and am scrambling to put together childcare for my youngest (3 in November). Right now it looks like she might be with one babysitter T-Th and another babysitter M-W-F afternoons -- being picked up by car from either nursery school (T-Th) or daycare (M-W-F)...

    best booster for 5 year old

    My MIL, who lives near us, takes the kids a couple of times a week and drops off/picks up my son at school frequently. The problem is, she has a small 4 door sedan (a Toyota Corolla I think, it's quite old, way too old for LATCH) and with 2 FF convertibles in the back seat, there's no room for...

    Accident/car seat replacement question

    So I got into an accident in my less-than-3-weeks-old brand new Hyundai Entourage this morning. :(:(:( I was turning left into my dd's preschool parking lot (right in front of a traffic light where the lanes go from one to two for turning) when this guy pulled from the line of waiting cars into...

    Fair price/best way to sell Radian 80?

    I bought a Radian 80 at the beginning of the summer for ds, thinking I'd need to use it in a 3 across setup in our old wagon, but now that we have a minivan, I want to sell it and put the money towards a Britax instead. I just don't have the patience to try to get a great install with this seat...

    Please help me educate dh on safe LATCH installation!

    OK, so my dh, the know-it-all licensed professional engineer, :rolleyes: is giving me grief about the following, which I know I have read here or other places but don't have the sources to back up: 1) That we should install with either lower anchors or seatbelts but not both. 2) That in a...

    2 RF, 1 FF in a Hyundai Entourage?

    We're very likely going to be buying a Hyundai Entourage minivan this week. Great safety ratings, good price, esp. right now as the dealers are getting rid of 2007 models. 4 positions of LATCH -- 2 captain's chairs in 2nd row and 2 outboard positions of 3rd row. As we were test driving it...

    I won't be buying any more Volkswagens!

    I am so ticked off at Volkswagen I can hardly see straight....although I have liked my 1999 Passat wagon and dh's 2002 Golf a lot, I can tell you I won't be buying any more! LOUSY LOUSY LOUSY customer service when it comes to car seat safety! Here's what happened: in 2002, when I was pregnant...

    narrow carseats that work well RF for 2 RF/1 FF?

    I have a 1999 Passat station wagon that I will need to fit 3 across in come the fall when baby #3 comes. It's retrofitted for lower anchors in the two outboard positions, and I'm considering shelling out the couple thousand dollars it would take to get upper anchor points retrofitted as well...
  10. Q

    Any way to get 3 across in a VW Passat Wagon?

    We're expecting a third child in November, and our two older children will be 5 and 2.5 when #3 is born. #1 is in a FF Britax Marathon and is around 38 pounds (can't remember his height); #2 is in a RF Boulevard and is only 20 pounds (she's TINY and I'd like to keep her RF as long as possible.)...
