    2015 Sienna and RF tether anchoring

    Hello all, We are seriously considering a 2015 Sienna but I have read confusing things about whether it's possible to anchor a RF seat Swedish-style in the Sienna. We are also currently deciding between a Clek Fllo and a Diono Rainier, so if it turns out we won't be able to anchor the Rainier...

    Help me keep 3yo RF

    Hello all, My almost-3 yo is 32 lbs, so getting close to the 35 lb RF limit on our Recaro ProRide. I'm thinking of putting the ProRide FF in the grandparents' car (where DS rides a few times a month; currently their car has our "travel seat," a Safety 1st Avenue) and getting a new seat for our...

    Convertible seat easy to install in VW Passat?

    I would like to buy a car seat for the grandparents to use. However, as it would only be needed infrequently and as they sometimes drive their friends around, ideally the seat would be easy for a non-technician to remove / reinstall SAFELY. Car is a 2004 VW Passat. Seats are leather. From...

    Recent Air France experiences?

    We will be flying transatlantic when DC is 16 mos old and have bought him his own seat. We will also be driving once there and definitely do not want a rental seat. We have always flown Air France pre-baby and didn't realize US versus foreign carrier could be an issue, but now I have seen some...

    Using US car seat in French car

    We will be traveling to France and leasing a new car (via tourist leasing/buy-back program). Not sure what car yet, but a French manufacturer (Renault, Citroen, Peugeot). If I have a US convertible car seat equipped for Latch, can I use the Isofix attachments or would I have to do a seatbelt...
