    New seat for last kid...

    My 9 yr old (4'9") rides in a LBB most of the time, and fits in the Parkway in dh's car (no headrest). 7 yr old (49") was in a Graco s4m that I returned during the first recall and he's now in a hbb in all cars. We've had lots of seats, extended RF all 3 kids, but I've been out of the loop...

    Radian straps uneven

    When I turned my ds ff recently I noticed that the harness wasn't tightening properly. The straps seemed to be different lengths. I searched here to see if there were issues and found people saying that the straps got twisted or stuck so I took the seat apart to see if they were stuck. I've...

    Bah! My kid is too tall to RF in the Radian before age 4

    Bah! My kid is too tall to RF in the Radian before age 4, and my straps are different lengths! I've totally been in denial but I measured today, and there is way less than 1" above his head. I was really hoping to make it through the icy road season with him RF. He's only 34 lbs dressed, so I'm...

    booster help please :)

    My dd is about to outgrow her secondary seats. She usually rides in a Regent in my van. She's 5.5 and 45#, and has about 1/4" of space on a Radian in dh's car, and 1/2" of space in the Como in my van (she doesn't fit in the Como in the car, the recline of the seats is pretty different). I'm...

    pool noodles

    I know I can get pool noodles at the $1 store, I just wonder if it's ok to use any dense foam *about* the same density and size as a noodle to change RF reclines? My dh gets tons of packing materials, and we have a pile of foam (not hard styrofoam, and not sponge soft, but the squishy stuff...

    3 across - Regent, Grand Caravan

    Ok so the kids wanted to be outside today, and I needed to move seats around, and dh's car is here while he's overseas, so I had ALL my seats and plenty of time. I fought the Regent into the 3rd row passenger side LBP. I swear it was like 1/8" too short but I bounced and pushed from the front...

I install the RN outboard in the 3rd row and then the Scenara in the middle, and when I do, I put the RN in dead center in the 2...

    outgrowing Blvd at 2.5?

    I've had 2 friends contact me in the last few days reporting their 2.5 yr olds are outgrowing MA/BV by height. My dd still fits in our BV just fine at 3.5, with a LOOONG torso and being taller than the kids of my friends. They both live far from me, so I can't get my hands on the seats, but...

    I don't own this car, I'm trying to help a friend (who is in another state) locate a suitable tether point for her RF Britax. Anyone know off the top of their head what the easiest point to use is? Seat track or leg? Seatbelt stalk? Some random bar under a seat? Is there an anchor for the...

    FPSVD manu dates - Albee Baby anyone?

    I know the FP britax seats aren't being made anymore, does anyone know the manu dates on the ones Albee is selling now? Were there some covers made at some times, and some at others? A friend found one locally with DOM 11/05, for more than Albee has it listed, she's worried that Albee will be...

    britax replacement harness velcro is wrong

    I ordered a replacement harness when we passed the Wizard to ds from dd. She had abused it with reflux and then food... so I got all the parts, a new adjuster because it was fraying on the edges, etc. My harness straps - when they are routed in, the little velcro tabs are waaaay too high. On...
