    HBB for wiggly 6.5 year old?

    I have a 2010 Honda Odyssey. 6.5 yo DS (55lbs, 49") was recently moved out of his Frontier 85 to a turbobooster and I moved 4 yo DD (38lbs, 41") into his Frontier. She was riding in a Sunshine Kids Radian XTSL, a seat which I have not gotten along with and is being passed on to MIL. DS though...

    Car for 3 kids? eta: Subaru Outback! (I think)

    Our 2006 Prius was squished by a huge tree and it's been deemed a total loss by our insurance company. Now we're unexpectedly in the market for a new car. We've had a lot of issues with our Prius and DH really doesn't want to get another one. I've always been a Honda person and we're thinking...

    Monterey or Parkway?

    Would love to get your opinions on which one to get. Parkway SGL or Monterey? This is a seat for my 8 year old DD and almost 5 year old DS to share. Ease of adjusting the top up and down is also important since they switch off pretty often. They've been sharing a Frontier, but my 8 yo has...

    Advice for installing Radian FF in Odyssey?

    I'm back to being really sick of my Radian XTSL. It's an older version, I think from 2008 or 2009? I'm trying to get it installed FF with the lap shoulder belt in the third row, driver side of my 2010 Honda Odyssey. It keeps sliding forward when I pull from the bottom. Any advice or tips...
