    Bigger Van

    We currently drive a 2008 Sienna, but we are needing a vehicle for 9. In a perfect world, we'd buy a Nissan NV, but unless we find a killer deal, that's not in the budget. What are our options? Our children's stats are (mostly going off memory for height): DS1~8 yrs, 50", 51 lb. in an Affix...

    Question Booster or vest?

    We've been trying to figure out what to do about a 3 across situation in hubby's car. He currently has 3 Defenders, but the headrests on the outboard (shorter kiddos) are now hitting the molding around the doors. We should be fine through the rest of the school year, but he'll need a solution...

    New seat question

    We have 2 FPSVD, one has expired and the other one will very soon. Obviously they have to be replaced. I was planning to go with the Frontier, but when I went to look it up, there's a new one. :eek: These are being installed in DH's 1991 Honda Accord, which he only takes the kid(s) to...

    Question Outgrowing seat, which one now?

    Our eldest DS will be 5 in a month, and he is 40-something lbs. He is in a Frontier in our Sienna and loves it. He is now outgrowing (by height) his FPSVD in our 1991 Honda Accord. So, we need to buy him a new seat, preferably a FFing to booster. He only rides in it to and from school, so it...

    Musical car seats anyone?

    We have a 2008 Toyota Sienna and a 1991 Honda Accord without locking seat belts. We have 2 FPSVD (man. in 2007), but 1 of the seats styrofoam shell is broken, so it's out of commission. Currently, the FPSVD is in the Accord for DS1 (4 years old), but he's got less than 1/4" till the top slot...

    Question To bucket or not to bucket?

    We had a Graco SnugRide 22 with our first 3, but we got rid of it when DS3 was 2 1/2 mos. because we didn't use it as a bucket and we didn't like it. So now, we're expecting #4 in August and we're thinking of getting another bucket. The reason...we just realized that I am going to have to get...

    RFing in a Beetle?

    We're wondering what convertibles can RF in a 1999 VW Beetle. Will a Radian fit and allow an adult to sit in the front seat? If not, what will? Not a fan of the True Fit. Baby is a month and a half, but has an infant carrier that he's still in for a while. When can the recline be decreased...

    Britax or Radian?

    We decided to get B the Britax Advocate, now I'm having second thoughts. We've had 3 car seats that we've hated and don't want another. We're also thinking of getting C a new seat since we hate his so much (it's a True Fit). H is in a Frontier @ 3 C is 22 mo B is 1 mo (in a snugride, but we're...

    Nautilus help, please!!

    We bought a Nautilus for our 2 1/2 year old 32ish lb ds. I set it up in the living room to adjust the straps and I can't get the crotch belt so that it's not under him. We cloth diaper and are trying to pt, but even without a diaper, his parts are still over the farthest out slot. He's...

    Which seats?

    Right now, we have a 2000 Ford Escort ZX2 and have had horrible issues with getting a good carseat fit (tried different seats). We have 2 RFing FPSVD right now, and they are finally installed well enough (very snug, but one tilts toward the center a bit). The issue is that we're buying either...

    Question What seat and when?

    NAKing...sorry! DS1 is 28 mos and 28 lbs, DS2 is 14 mos and 22 lbs, and we're expecting #3 12-3. DS1&2 are RFing in their FPSV and #3 will use the SnugRide. Both boys outgrew the SnugRide by 6 months. I would like to spend little money, but get the best seats possible. So, I was thinking to...
