    FR80 Install in Pilot

    I have a FR80 for my 3y3m old as a primary seat in a 2009 Pilot. We are using LBP install (SBP doesn't seem to work as the buckle stalk goes into the belt path even with twists). I can't seem to get it tight enough. I have a disability that gives me slightly weak grasp in my hands, and I am...

    MA70 room to grow RF?

    My DS1 is 3y3m, and we just started FF him in our primary car after his birthday. His original seat was an MA70 (which I love for its ease of install) and we have moved it to our secondary car (2004 Acura TL) in RF position. We rarely transport our kids in that car, and if we do, it's...

    Does a CARES have an expiration?

    I am planning on buying a CARES harness locally (but used- although I never would buy a used carseat). I was just curious if they expire like a carseat does? I assume yes but can't find anything on the manufacturer's website.

    Best explanation for ERF?

    I have a group of mommy friends who have children aged similarly to mine or younger. My older son recently turned 3, and my younger son is 16 mos. Every single mom I know turned their child FF at exactly 1. The topic came up today at playgroup (I don't think most of them knew I just changed...

    MA70 install in Pilot and Odyssey

    I have 2 MA70s, currently one RF and one FF in my 2009 Pilot. I have always used LATCH installs as I was more comfortable with those, but have recently tried a few belt installs. I am having trouble feeding the belt through the red lock-offs, it seemed to be easier on one side of my car than...

    Frontier piece missing- necessary?

    I have a Britax Frontier which was given to me in booster mode minus the parts needed to convert it back to harness. First I ordered the wrong parts, then I called Britax and they tried to send me the right ones, but I think I am still missing a piece. It is some sort of belt shield protector...

    CPSTs in NC?

    Just curious, I have seen the thread with recommended CPSTs from this board floating around. I've noticed there are no CPSTs listed in NC? I don't need a tech right now, I'm quite comfortable installing the current seats I have in my current vehicle, but I may be using a new seat soon. Is...

    Given a Frontier 85, need harness straps and what else?

    I was given a used Britax Frontier 85 with DOM 1/28/09, so lots of life left. I know it wasn't in any crashes and I feel comfortable using it. However, it was used as a booster, and I was given no harness straps for it. I am planning on using it with my older son, who is 32 lbs., age 3, and...

    First FF and belt install with MA70

    Hi, So my older son just turned 3 and DH doesn't want to let him ERF anymore. I am trying to install my MA70 FF in my 2009 Honda Pilot, second row outboard. This is my first time installing any seat FF, and also my first time installing with the belt. (I think I was lurking a few weeks ago and...

    Seat for plane + arrival at destination

    Hi, I have a smaller 2 1/2 year old and a 9 month old who we will be flying with on a short non-stop domestic this month. I wasn't able to convince my husband to fork over the extra money for a ticket for the baby, so he is flying as a lap child. Both my kids RF in the car in Marathon 70s. I...

    Recommendations for convertible, 2009 Pilot

    I have an almost 5 mo. old who is short and heavy, approx. 24 in. tall and about 17-18 lbs. now. We have a Keyfit 30 and he is currently using the middle harness slot with no infant or head insert. He fits in it without a problem, but he sweats a lot and he is getting too heavy to carry around...
