    Regent in Kia Sedona

    DH is trying to get DS1's Regent installed with the new rules (SBP and RB) in the captain's seat of our 2006 Kia Sedona with little luck. The angle that the seat belt ends up at makes it impossible to get a tight install. DH is hot and crabby and we now have no seat installed for our oldest...

    2005-2007 Odyssey quick questions

    My friend's DH is at the Honda dealership buying her a Mother's day gift - a 2007 Odyssey. She wants to know a couple of things: *What seats does the 2007 Odyssey have LATCH in? I believe my 2006 Odyssey had LATCH in the 2nd/3rd row outboard seats - 4 total. She was told by a dealer that...

    New Van! (pictures)

    Finally! After 2.5 months and $18,000 (yes, 3 zeros) of repairs on our 2006 Odyssey we got it back last week. We sold it on Friday and Saturday we bought a new 2006 Kia Sedona. We had a Sedona rental while the Odyssey was being repaired and we were really impressed. The Odyssey was a bit big...

    Tethering RF'ing Britax seats issue

    I went to the local high end baby store to return our 2 DC and I asked the two "techs" (I am not entirely sure what that means in this case) if they had any recommendations for a tether point for a RF'ing Britax MA in a Kia Sedona and they suggested tether under the captains chair on which the...

    SO frustrated

    This whole accident fiasco has been one frustration after another. We got the final estimate (3.5 weeks later) - $16k in repairs. The value of the van is around $26k and the salvage value would be $8k so the insurance co. is willing to do $18k in work :eek: So it is not being totaled but we...

    Resource or site with seat info?

    I want to start saving to buy my niece a new carseat. She is currently 30-33lbs, I am not sure how tall (at least 32+" since she is taller than my little one) and 2.5 - she is riding FF'ing in a RA. I know that when she outgrows this seat my brother will not have the $$ (or the knowledge) to...

    The Fine Line

    Where do you draw the line? Anger/frustrate/annoy your friends and family when you keep pointing out their seat installation errors, tightening their kids' straps or emailing them links to articles and information about safe seats and safe usage? Or keep your mouth shut, pray hard and not feel...

    Tell me about your safe vehicle

    We are still struggling with body shops and insurance companies but at this point DH and I agree that we are getting a new vehicle - either our '06 Odyssey will be totaled or we will sell it once it is repaired. I would love feedback on what super safe vehicle you drive (or have considered)...

    Carseat bliss!

    I am so happy to have my kids back in a Regent and MA! After our accident we purchased 2 DC thinking we would move the RF'ing almost 2 year old to a DC and use the DC for our 4 year old until we could get a Regent. I *HATED* the DCs. I am glad they were safe and they worked (when DH could...

    What made you a car safety freak?

    Have you always been super safety aware? Were you in an accident with or before kids and vowed to make everyone as safe as possible? Did you hear about higher expectations for car safety and begin to do your own research? Are you just a fierce Momma (or daddy) bear who researches and...
