    Tether point for a 2017 Toyota Sienna

    Just bought a new Sienna mini van. Trying to install a Britax convertible in the 2nd row for our 2 1/2 year old. Trying to figure out where to hook the tether. Where is a good place? Would it be ok to go under the seat of the van and hook it to the tether point on the back of the seat? We don't...

    Is your Britax B-safe...

    really difficult to get off the base? I push in (ETA: I mean pull) the piece that is supposed to release it, and it doesn't want to release. I'm wondering if this is typical or possibly defective. Other than that, I do like the seat quite a bit. Buckling is very nice.

    I have to fit 5 kids in our 2008 Toyota Sienna

    We're expecting baby #5 in early March. Our vehicle is a 2008 Sienna (7 pass). ODS is 11 (12 in May), not in a car seat, he's not much smaller than I am. ODD is 8 (9 in May), needs a low-back booster. YDD just turning 6, average height/weight, currently in a Frontier 85 but is able to safely...

    Tethering a RF Boulevard in a Toyota Sienna

    Where have other people placed the top tether when RF a Boulevard 70 in the second (middle) row of a 08 Toyota Sienna (on the driver's side)? I want to place the tether toward the driver's seat, but could only make it work with the tether going over the back of the second row seat onto its...

    Favorite convertible for ease of use?

    What would you say is the easiest to get the child in and out of? (ie, straps not twisting, velcro out of the way, buckles work properly & adjust easily, etc)

    Yay or Nay?

    This is my 8 year old trying out a brand new harmony in our 2010 Camry in the driveway. I was planning to put it in the middle seat, but that's not going to work, it's just too cramped. The camera angle is a little funny, but does this look ok or not? He's just getting too big for most of the...

    Difference between the Compass boosters?

    Can anyone shed some light on what the difference is, other than $10 every time you go up a model?

    Trying to decide seats for our other car

    This is dh's car, so the kids are only in it occasionally, and it's a 2010 Camry. I need to buy at least one new booster for sure. Would this work?: *Scenera for dd2 nearing 35 lbs and 2y9m. (already have this--open to better ideas though...and we have a Wizard that is good till June...I do...

    Boost and Buckle ad on tv

    I don't know if I should be impressed or appalled. I just saw an ad (in Missouri) about how kids should be in carseats. Only the carseats they showed the kids in were about a million years old, some with 3 point harnesses. This is just an article about it...

    If it says for 40 lbs...

    My 5 year old dd needs to move to the 3rd row mini-van seat next month. I'm pretty sure I'd like her in a HBB. She is *close* to 40 lbs. and it would probably be dependent on day/time/scale as to wether or not she would measure as 40 lbs. So if a seat says for 40 lbs, does that measurement need...

    Has anyone used a Cuddlebabe car seat blanket gizmo?

    That are seen here: http://www.kmhcreations.com/ Oh, and just a warning, if you look at the website they have some video links and the harness is not tightened enough on the car seats! But that aside, since it has nothing to do with the product, the blanket thing looks cool, just can't find any...

    Safe ways to keep infants in carseats warm in winter?

    Ok, so I know the Bundle me and products that go under the baby are no-nos. What else is out there that is safe, easy, and cute...that won't blow off in the wind or be a hassle to use? I've seen some ponchos but they go around the baby's neck and look to me like they could push a newborn's head...

    Padded/comfortable infant seat?

    Just wondering if anyone has opinions of what infant seat is most comfortable? (Judged by the baby not crying in the car and sleeps well in it ;) ) Even though they say they've been 'safety tested', I understand that you're not supposed to use something like the JJ Cole Bundle Me product with...

    carseat safety presentation

    Our MOPS (mothers of preschoolers) group had a carseat safety presentation given by the firefighters from our town yesterday. Sounds good, right? Here was some of the information given: *Straps should be at or above the shoulders, for both foward and rear facing. *Rear facing is recommended by...

    Question Boulevard CS problem

    Britax isn't open and I need to call them, but I thought maybe someone here might be familiar with this problem and the fix for it, or if not, then I know that it's just my dd's seat that has the issue. I am having trouble adjusting the harness at all. If I pull, it clicks, but it's not tight...

    Question Is the Monterey width adjustment supposed to hold?

    My son's new Monterey is installed in the 3rd row of our Toyota Sienna. The shoulder width adjustment will not stay on the narrow setting. Is this a flaw with our seat, or a problem with the design? Didn't have this problem in Grandpa's Pacifica.

    Question Carseat for 4-5lb preemie

    I told a lady I'd look into this for her since she's not on the internet. She had a baby born at 24 weeks on July 4 who should be coming home in Oct. and she thinks the baby will be under 5 lbs at the time. She needs to find one under $100. Options?

    We were in a crash tonight and now need new seats

    We got rear ended today. My 3 kids were in our toyota sienna. Since there was door damage and my hand was injured, looks like we need new seats. The ones we had performed well and my kids are fine. DS age 7 was in a Compass booster, DD age 4 was in a FF Britax Boulevard, and DD age 18 months was...
