    Oh goody, I get to buy a new seat! Advice welcome

    I haven't had to purchase a new seat in a long time, but lucky for me (and I mean that in all seriousness!) DS has almost outgrown the Scenera he rides in everyday with Grandma. DS is 3.5, 36lbs, 39inches. He rides RF in an Evenflo Triumph65 in my Sienna, in a Graco Nautilus in harness mode...

    Scenera 40 in a Chevy HHR and Tether anchor position

    My Mom just got a 2009 Chevy HHR and this afternoon I went over to install my kids' seats in it since she is my DCP. DD's Nautilus went in as smooth as butter with a seatbelt install but the tether anchor spots were not obvious to me. My Mom doesn't have the owners manual for me to check and...

    Which is better?

    Two of my nephews are too tall for their harnessed seats (Cosco high back booster). The top slots are below their shoulders now. My sister and BIL will not purchase new seats to keep them harnessed so the options are 1) Keep them harnessed in the Cosco seats even though they are too tall 2)...

    Scenera 40 strap question

    I bought a Scenera 40 for my Mom to use for my 8 month old in her car when it was on sale at Target the other week. DS seems to fit in it ok, but I am having trouble getting the straps as snug as I would like. The metal piece in the back of the seat that attaches the pull strap to the shoulder...

    Info about forum access

    Where can I find the rules and regulations regarding forum access? Specifically, I recently bought a car seat cover from a post on the swap forum but I am unable to leave iTrader feedback for the seller because I do not have access. Thanks!

    GN leaning to the side

    I've been noticing that the GN I installed in Grandma's car for my DD is constantly leaning to one side. It is in an Isuzu Trooper center position installed with the lapbelt. I had to twist the belt stalk to keep it out of the belt path and I also had to flip the male side a half a turn to...

    GN Belly Pad - Is it required?

    Is it ok to remove the belly pad that goes around the crotch strap on the GN? I find it gets in the way and pulls my daughters dresses up to far.

    Which is safer?

    Which of these is safer? I know neither is ideal, but sometimes circumstances are what they are. An 18 month old in a bucket infant seat that is under the weight limit but whose head is slightly above the top of the shell OR That same 18 month old in a properly fitted FF 5pt harness seat?

    Is it ok to use a Prince Lionheart Pad like this?

    Is it ok to use a Prince Lionheart seat pad if I first install the seat without it, mark the belt and then reinstall it with the pad to the same spot on the belt? I never knew those pads were a danger until reading here, even though I have had my seats checked by a tech who okay'd them. My DH...

    Untethered Nautilus

    My 3yo DD rides in a Graco Nautilus in my Mom's 2000 Isuzu Trooper. When I installed the seat, I checked the car's owners manual and could not find any top anchor points to tether the seat. It is installed in the center using the lap only belt with a locking clip on the latch side. I had to...

    Hi, My DD will be 3 next week and she is 39 inches tall and 37 pounds. She rides comfortably in an Evenflo Triumph Advance in my van, but in my husband's truck she is in a Cosco High Back Booster. The shoulder straps are slightly below her shoulders now, so I need to buy her a new seat to...
