    Best bet for 3 across in 2018 Civic?

    My nanny drives a new Honda Civic. I need to get 3 seats across for a 6.5 year old (booster), 3.9 year old (FF) and 1 year old (RF). It would be good if we could keep the 6.5 year old booster on the passenger side for the drop off/pick up line at school. I have on hand the following: Graco...

    car seat for nanny's car?

    Our nanny will drive our son to preschool and back, about 2.5 miles on suburban road. The nanny's car is an older 2005-ish VW Passat Wagon. My son is going to be 4 in August. Looking for easy install, comfortable, but cost effective since it won't be used that often. Graco Nautilus looked...

    I have 2 kids, DS is 3.5 yo and DD is 9 months old. Both average size. We have been using the Sureride as a travel/grandparent seat for DS. DD is almost outgrown her infant seat now (28.5 inches), and need another convertible for her for travel/grandparents/spare seat. Was thinking of a...

    Grandparent seat?

    Trying to outfit the grandparents' cars...both my kids are average sized for their age. My DS is 3.5, my DD is 9 months. Grandparents already own an Evenflo Sureride, but now that DD is outgrowing her infant seat we need one more. Should I just buy another Sureride to avoid confusion? Or...

    Foonf - talk me down!

    I have been a little schizo on which car seat I want for my DD (6 months). I originally planned to hand down my 3.5 yo DS's Boulevard 70 and RA55, since I bought him a Ranier over the summer. I would get him a Frontier. Then I saw the Foonf Heart Shades deal for about the same price. Figured...

    I'm in the market for a Frontier 90, will be passing my DS's Boulevard 70 CS down to my 5 month old DD. I could have sworn I saw a picture on here from one of the shows where the Frontier was coming out in Cowmoo? Anyone know a timeline for this? Should I get one in Onyx to match my...

    Britax Clight Tight Marathon vs. Boulevard

    Looking for a new convertible for my 5 month old DD. She was just measured at her doctor's at 16 lbs and 28" (!!!). Neither DH, my DS, or I are tall, so not sure why she is off the charts for height, but in any case, I guess she needs to be out of her Snugride 30 soon. Looking at the new...

    Freaking out about school bus

    My son's preschool just sent home a note saying they are taking a field trip to a pumpkin farm in 2 weeks. They are using a "charter school bus" for transportation. DS is only 3, and the youngest student there. I do not feel comfortable at all with him riding a school bus, but we don't have...

    how to talk to loved one about misuse?

    DH is a great guy, great husband, and a great dad. He is, however, slightly careless and absentminded in a lot of aspects of life. If you imagine a clueless professor-type with his pants stuck in his sock and half a shirttail out, you wouldn't be far off. He's terrible about buckling the kids...

    AWD commuter car for DH?

    DH currently drives a 2007 Civic...my car is a 2011 Outback. Looking at replacing his car in the next year as we are moving to a snowier area and he'll have a long commute, so want to have AWD. Gas mileage will also be important, and obviously safety is paramount. We have 2 kids (3 years and...

    What's the most comfortable FF harness seat?

    Either convertible or combination seat...don't care really about booster function as I'll probably buy a HBB when the time comes, but want to use this FF seat for 2 average sized kids. My kid is picky about car seat comfort, loves his Ranier and his Boulevard G3, but hates the Scenera and...

    I have a 3 year old DS (38", 33 lbs) and a 2 month old DD (23", 11 lbs). Seats in my car are a RF Diono Ranier and a Graco Snugride 30. In DH's car DS rides in a FF Boulevard (outgrown by height RF) but only rides occasionally. When DS was an infant, I bought my parents a Safety 1st Avenue...

    new convertible for almost 3yo?

    My 34 month old DS is pretty close to outgrowing his Boulevard rear facing (top of head is 1.5 inch from top of shell). I'd like to keep him rear facing for one more year - the Boulevard can get passed down to 1 month old DD when she outgrows her infant seat. He's 37 inches, 33 lbs. A lot of...

    DS is 34 months, 33 lbs, and 37 inches tall. He normally rides RF in a Boulevard or Roundabout, but I bought him a CARES harness and had an Evenflo Sureride shipped to our destination for our upcoming vacation, since I'll be traveling alone with him and 1 month old DD. My parents are there now...
