    2009 kia borrego 3rd row safety?

    I have a 09 Kia Borrego. I have heard that third rows of SUVs are not always safe for kids. I am reluctant to have my daughter use the third row on a daily basis because of that, but she and her little brother are going through a terrible fighting phase and having them sitting next to each...

    Question Washington State insurance law re: carseats?

    I was hit by a rental car on June 8. My children were not in the car with me (thank goodness) but their carseats were (Britax MA and Graco Nautilus). The rental insurance office claims that under Washington state law, they are not required to replace my carseats because the seats were...

    Flying with a 3 year old

    We are flying from WA to CA on Alaska. My son is 3 yo, 36in, 30 pounds. I am taking the Radian and plan to install it on the plane. Am I likely to encounter any difficulty from an ill-informed flight attendant about installing a seat for a child over the age of two? Their website I think...

    We are going on a cruise and we need a way to get from the cruise ship in Vancouver BC to the airport in Bellingham, WA. The coach service that we were planning on using does not have seatbelts or latch anchors. It is a big coach like a Greyhound. My son is 3 yo and 30 pounds. He normally...

    Question Putting a Regent cover back on

    I took the Regent cover off to wash it and just put it back on. There are little plastic hooks on elastic straps down at the bottom. I can't remember what they hooked to and the manual doesn't say. Does anyone know?

    My Ride vs. EFTA

    I need a spare seat for my 18 month old son. It is between the My Ride and the EFTA (or as a last resort the Roundabout 50, but I'd rather save $50 if I can). I know the My Ride rearfaces to 40lbs AND it doesn't have those irritating red tabs. So I'm leaning towards the My Ride. But I'm...

    What are you supposed to do with a 120 pound 8 year old who does not pass the 5 step test? He's close but not there yet. Is there a booster without a weight limit?

    More Frontier questions

    I'm shopping for my wiggly 5 1/2 year old. She is 42 pounds. I'm leaning towards the Frontier but I still have some questions. 1. Frontier vs. Nautilus, safety wise. Which has better SIP, and what makes you say that? The seat would be outboard. 2. Frontier installation issues. What are...

    Strap height--Radian vs. Frontier vs. Nautilus

    I know what the product specs say. Radian 18 inches, Nautilus 17.5, Frontier 18.25. What is confusing me is that someone who tried their child in both the Nautilus and the Frontier said that the Nautilus top slots are higher. My daughter fits in a Radian; that's her spare. She outgrew the MA...

    I'm in the market for a spare seat for hauling "extra" kids. DD's friends, my neices & nephews, etc. I'm wondering some things about the Nautilus. How do the top slots compare to the Radian? My daughter has long ago outgrown the MA by height but still fits in a Radian. If I needed to put...

    Need links re: importance of snug harness

    My parents are in need of some education regarding how tight dd's harness needs to be when she is in their car. I explained that the harness needs to be "this snug" or she could be ejected in the event of a crash. They flat out do not believe me; my mother said, "There's no way a child in a 5...

    Any opinions on this truck? DH has a friend who wants to sell us his. It only has 16,000 miles on it. We are truck shopping because right now we have a 1998 2 door Toyota Tacoma Extended Cab, and I am pregnant again, and it has come to my attention that you can only put one carseat in that...
