    Question What seat would you recommend if you couldn't afford a Britax MA?

    It has been a few years since I've kept up with current car seat news. I've used a ton of brands and different types of seats and the Britax MA has become my favorite in terms of ease of installation, easily adjusted strap height, and comfort for the child. I'm recommending it to a friend with...

    Got this Frontier when DD1 was 2. She was harnessed in it until she was 7, and used it for a booster until now, she's 9.5 and 75 lbs and outgrew it. Talk about a lot of use! It was manufactured in 2008. Says discontinue use after 4/16/2017 but not sure if that means booster mode or harness...

    Question Switching an old Frontier from harness to booster mode...does it HAVE to be secured by LATCH?

    The books leads me to think the booster mode of an older Frontier (purchased in 2008) needs to be secured by LATCH and the top tether. Thoughts? Can I secure the top tether and just put it on a seat and secure my child with the seatbelt?

    Question Question about Cosco Scenera expiration

    I have a Scenera manufactured 2-21-07. It is now 6 years later and the bottom of the seat says "DO NOT USE AFTER 2013". Should I use or not? It would be for my 21 lb 9 month old rear-facing.

    Question Need help QUICK! Is there any safe way my 6 yr old can ride in the front seat?

    Hubby has ALL the rear seats in our 2008 Honda Odyssey out because he's buying a few sheets of plywood and wants to lay them flat. And he wants my oldest daughter (she is 6) to go with him to the store, so she'd have to ride in the front. She has a Britax Frontier harnessed or a Graco...

    Question Britax MA70 in 2008 Odyssey, which install? Two are pictured with different reclines.

    Can a tech please or an experienced someone check the recline on these two different installations? I first installed RF with LATCH (A) and the second is with a rolled up towel underneath it (B). This is for a 17 month old 23 pound child. Does Britax even allow the use of a rolled up towel to...

    Question A common question: What are the differences between Britax MA and BV?

    Besides the obvious extra headwings in the boulevard? I am deciding between these two for my 17 month old (22 lbs, RF) and her sleeping position is important. Do the headwings help with preventing their heads from drooping? Or do the wings push their heads forward? Do kids generally sleep...
