    Beginning our preowned minivan search

    Our options obviously depend on what's available within a certain mile radius but I'm curious to receive feedback regarding YES WAY or NO WAY NO HOW opinions in terms of the real life practicality for ease of fitting/using 5 safety seats for various kids ranging in age from 0-6+ (the only...

    Question Insights for child care

    I currently babysit kids ages 6 months to 4 yrs. We are soon trading in our '09 Subaru Forester for maybe a '13 Toyota Sienna (also looking at preowned Honda Odysseys) and the work/school schedule changes of my daycare families are such that I will need to transport 2-3 of these kids in my...

    Question Long torso'd newborn in Keyfit30

    Babysaurus is only 5 days old (8 lbs 9 oz, 21.5" at birth) & the shoulder straps easily slip off ... this seems to be happening because we're using the first slots which appear to be well below his armpits? I haven't fit a real live newborn in a seat for almost a decade, since before I...

    Tether Anchor Placement: Distance from Seat?

    Good question. I have no idea what the standard bolt looks like under the aesthetic covering of most vehicles, but the 86Y we had included a tether kit that was rated to higher weight limit than is standard in most vehicles. The dealership installed it for me after Ford sent them approval...

    Tether Anchor Placement: Distance from Seat?

    It's common in trucks since straight down is kinda all there is. This was deemed acceptable by both manufacturers for using our 86Y in a F250 about 6 yrs ago. Sent from my iPhone using Car-Seat.Org ~ please disregard typos!

    Question Keyfit and/or Coccoro in Silverado, plus Radian in Taurus

    We're hoping to buy a 2008 Chevy Silverado (extended cab) & I hear the Coccoro might fit RF in the rear? It isn't available anywhere locally that I can find to try out when we get to test driving trucks, so hopefully someone here has tried it? Also, until we can afford a Coccoro, will the...

    Question '08 Chevy Silverado centet seatbelt?

    Is it still a lap-only belt? (regular cab, no backseat) Does the passenger side airbag disable? Curious because the daddysaurus is looking to buy a work truck, but might have both kids once in a while & babysaurus can't go RF center.

    Question Stroller comparison help

    It appears that both the Kolcraft Universal 2 & Baby Trend Snap-n-Go fit the Chicco Keyfit? The Kolcraft seems to be rated slightly higher, but costs a bit less so I'm leaning that way. Is there any big reason I might prefer the Snap-n-Go instead? :confused: We will most likely carry baby for...
