    2010 Subaru Forester and Uppababy Mesa? Or other infant seat recommendations?

    Greetings! I'm working with a client who just purchased a 2010 Subaru Forester. They are welcoming their first child in a couple months and looking for the best seat. They would like to go with an infant seat and are considering the Uppababy Mesa. Does anyone have experience with...

    Question 4-lb preemie in Range Rover

    Greetings! I'm a doula helping out a client who has a new preemie. Baby is about 4lbs but should be going home soon (likely discharged with mom!). Because baby came early, they don't have a seat for baby yet. What is the best option for them for an infant seat that will install well in a...

    Question 3 Across, Honda Fit and Honda Odyssey

    My sister is coming into town for a length of time with her four kids - 2 sets of twins. I am trying to figure out what seats we need to make transporting everyone work. I already have my own 5 kids in a 2016 Honda Odyssey SE (8 seater). My mom drives a Honda Fit. I think we can fit everyone...

    Odyssey Plus One install with seat next to it?

    Playing around with my new Boulevard CT. I'm trying it out in the center "Plus One" seat of my '07 Odyssey, next to a RFing Chicco NextFit. Has anyone else tried this? Thoughts on whether the CT will get a proper install even though the seats are touching a little? It's tight - perhaps not as...

    ClickTight vs Fllo

    Thoughts on ClickTight vs Fllo? It will be for ERF a smaller child, currently 18mo, 22lbs, 32". I've wanted a Foonf forever but the Fllo looks like it's an improvement. The ClickTight installation really appeals, especially for being able to move it to another vehicle sometimes. Beyond price...

    Best bets for Odyssey, ERF, small toddler?

    What do you recommend for a seat to last as long as possible for a little one who is currently 18mo, 21-22lbs, and 32". He's just outgrowing his B-Safe. Obviously want ERF forever. May end up on the taller side. He rides driver side captains chair in an 07 Odyssey. Ideally, I'd like it to...

    Narrow 5pt for 5yo, 3-across in a Honda Fit

    My mom will be driving my kids to/from school this year, so I'm in need of a new seat in her car. My eldest is 11yo and passes the 5-step test in her car and my almost-9-yo has a Parkway. My 5yo (6 in September) is right around 45lbs and not particularly tall for his age. He's a very...

    Current infant seat best-bets?

    (I've gone through 10 pages of posts and not found this topic, so hopefully I'm not asking for the 10,000th time today!) It's been 3 years since I've had to choose an infant seat. I sold our Chicco KeyFit a short while back, not expecting to need it again. Now, I find myself with under 3...

    Bubble Bum for Odyssey Plus One seat?

    I'm browsing seats for the new baby (baby makes 5 kids) and came across the Bubble Bum, which I've loved but not looked at much in a while. My expectation once baby comes is to have my 11yo ride in the Plus One seat in our 2007 Odyssey. He's pretty tall and I *think* he passes the...

    Best infant seat to get this summer?

    I know there are some interesting looking infant seats headed to market. For a baby coming this summer (so no rush to buy), what would you get? Will likely be in and Odyssey middle row captains chair, but being able to fit a 5-stepper next to it would be ideal.

    Six in an '07 Odyssey

    Im brainstorming here but don't know all the seats on the market well enough. We know we're going to be putting 5 kids (newborn to 11) in our '07 Odyssey EX-L. There's some potential that will actually be 6 (finding out tomorrow!). So, assuming any seats are available (because they'll be...

    Seating 5 in an Odyssey

    I'd love thoughts on seating 5 in a 2007 Honda Odyssey. Ages are 11 (currently in Monterey but may be able to pass 5 step test - very close, at this point), 8.5 (Regent but could possibly go to booster), 5.5 (Frontier), 2.5 (RFing MyRide but open to a new seat; have been wanting to get Foonf)...

    Does he pass the 5 Step Test?

    My 10yo is very eager to (at least occasionally) ride in an adult belt. He's always been on the taller side and seems to pass the 5-step test - I *think.* I keep worrying about the lap belt, though, and wanted to get some input on it. These pictures are of him in the plus one seat of our...

    Dimensions of RA 55 vs. MR 65?

    I've looked at the Carseat Features forum (such a great resource!) but not found the information I'm looking for... How does the Roundabout 55 compare to the MyRide 65 as far as exterior dimensions? Does the MR65 take up a lot more room than the RA55? I'm considering intermediate options...

    Would you get an Advocate?

    The plan to keep my DD in her KF30 until she was 18mo and/or the Foonf was ready isn't quite working as hoped. LOL She's a tiny almost-15mo and is not quite at 18lbs. But, (depending on what cloth diaper she's wearing!) she's getting close to within 1" of the shell of her KF30. So, I'm...

    What KF-compatible stroller do I need?

    I have too many strollers but none of them are truly meeting my needs. :o So I need help! My 13mo DD still fits well in the KF30 and will for a while (she's tiny - 17lbs and not nearing in height, either). I didn't have a compatible stroller until we went out of town via train and plane this...

    Replacing seat that was in the trunk after a wreck?

    I confess that, even being formerly certified as a CPST, I don't recall a consensus on this question. I know that a seat that's occupied needs to be replaced after a crash in certain situations (which were met in the crash my 4yo DS was involved in). In addition to the SafeGuard Go he was...

    SG Go in a wreck - what to get, now?

    My 4yo son was with my parents when they were hit by a teen driver just before Christmas. He was secure in his SafeGuard Go (the headrest of which my mom had re-secured - it liked to come off - that very day, thankfully as it was on the side of the impact) and everyone walked away. By any...

    Best deal on a Graco SR 35?

    I need a good deal on a Graco Snugride 35 for my sister and her twins. I found a girl-ish one on NoBetterDeal and got it, along with two stroller frames. But now I need one for her DS. I thought I had a good one on AlbeeBaby but it's gone. :/ $110 or under would be best, but I do think it...

    Cybex X-Fix Plus for tall 9.5yo?

    How does the Cybex X-Fix Plus (on Zulily today) work for tall kids? My DS is 9.5, about 52" tall (maybe taller; I can't quite recall!). He's currently in a Monterey booster in my car, and it fits him pretty well. But, on the occasions that he falls asleep (not often, but still) he is VERY...
