    Question Compact SUV with third row

    Hi! We have 3 kids and are trying for a 4th. We have a Sienna as our main vehicle. We are looking for a second car that would fit everyone if we had to, but would not regularly fit all the kids. I do NOT want a large SUV. I have been looking at the Outlander and the Rogue with the tiny third...

    Infant seat in a Jeep

    I've even out of the loop for a while, can anyone recommend an infant seat for a Jeep for me?! Are the back seats shallow? Thanks!

    Skinny kid booster

    As I posted before, DS is still harnessed in my car. I've purchased him a few boosters and none of them really seemed to work very well. He actually fit well in a turbo, but I wasn't impressed with the headwings, and I wanted one that LATCHed. We had a ProSport for a while and I tried...

    "No benefit to remaining harnessed"

    Please explain this statement to me... DS is almost 6.5 and still harnessed full time. He is very small for his age, and very light. I understand the head excursion argument for a very heavy child, but for a child his age/size please discuss with me why having him harnessed offers "NO"...

    Adjuster in a Mazda 5

    YIKES! Crazy crazy upright. It puts it up really high, like how the Britax seats sit. This is only my first attempt, so I may try to get the feet into the seat harder. Pics to follow.

    What does the Plum RXT feel like?

    We have a Flora, and I really like the feel of it. I also have a Nitro and don't love it. I think the feel of it bothers me more than her. What does Plum feel like? Anyone have pics?

    How dirty is too dirty?

    I sold my friend a radian a few years ago. She has been using it since then. DD just hit 35 pounds so my friend said that she would give it back to me to let DD use to stay RFing in MIL's car. All sounds great... Here's the catch. The straps are GROSS. And the comfort foam under it was like...

    ProSport Bruised DS's Back!!!

    To say that I am upset is an understatement. He really wanted to bring the ProSport on our vacation from KY to FL. A few hours in the journey he was complaining about his back. We thought he needed a footrest and kept going. Finally he got the point where he was crying about how bad it hurt...

    Crotch strap placement

    I was reflecting on the position of the crotch strap in a seat and realizing that I have a very different experience than most. I always tend to use a slot farther back than like everyone else I know, and I never find it too short. I push my kids way back in the seat and then pick the one that...

    Question Tether limit clarification

    I am moving seats in my car, and remembered that DS is close to 40lbs so I may need to go ahead and move his seat to a seatbelt install in DH's civic. I was reading through my LATCH manual and saw that in a Honda, both the LAs and the tether are to be discontinued at the weight of 40lbs. For...

    What fits FF next to a Frontier 85?

    Other than a radian? Has anyone had a Maestro right next to it?

    I'd like to trade a Megan (sp?) [it is hot pink with daisies on it] cover for something gender neutral. It is in great shape, I don't think it has ever been used.

    Do the new generation Britax still puzzle with radians?

    I've read that they sit lower on the base, do they still puzzle well with radians? I need a three across. Thanks!

    In Search Of Old Style BLVD cover GN

    Looking to replace a Shannon with a GN cover. The Shannon is pretty trashed, I doubt anyone would want it or I would be willing to trade. I don't care if it is in a good condition at all, I just want something for as little as someone wants to part with something. :D

    Anyone want to help with a 5 seat puzzle?

    It is a 2000 Sienna. She needs 5 seats in there. Two RFing, two in HB boosters and one FFing harnessed. She tried a Maestro in the middle with two Vivos on the side and it was a no go. I feel like I read somewhere that a radian doesn't work well in the center of the Sienna, is it FFing or RFing...

    What do you think of this angle?

    This radian looks really reclined in person. I think it looks a little better in these pictures, but I wanted your opinions on it. What do you think?! Thanks!

    Question Radian headwings/harness height

    DS is above the 4th slot FFing in his XTSL so I moved up to the top slots, but now the headwings are way too high. If I move them down to cover the slots it seems like they would just fly up in a crash anyway, so it seems pointless. Does anyone else have this issue?
