    HBB for a tall skinny kid

    Britax Parkway and Monterey seem to be the ones with the highest sitting height limit. For the life of me, I cannot see in the Monterey online manual, where it states there needs to be a vehicle headrest. Can someone please point that out to me? I did try calling Diono the other day but had...

    Question Criminal record check?

    Is SJA now requiring a criminal record/child abuse check prior to being able to do car seat clinics? This was mentioned in a conversation and now I'm curious. Or is it an MPI/SJA thing?

    Weighted vests?

    A friend of mine had a question, and thought maybe someone here might be able to help. Her son will be getting a weighted vest (ASD Therapy) and she was wondering if she will be able to use the vest while in a vehicle. Her son is still in a harnessed seat, but could also legally (just not...

    Question Frontier XT booster issue

    Just today I installed my Frontier in booster mode in my car. The problem I am having is that the shoulder belt is not retracting on its own to sit against my child. Is there any way to prevent this? The headrest is nowhere near its highest position. Please and thank you Sent from my iPhone...

    Is there anything that says a HBB is safer

    than a no back booster? The ONLY way my seats will work in my vehicle is to have my 4 year old in a FF Frontier, in the center of the back seat of my car, and to have his 6.5 year old brother in a harmony booster (no back) behind the passenger. 4 year old gets car sick, and needs to be able...

    Latch Manual help

    If someone has a latch manual, I have a question I was hoping they could answer for me. I checked the manual in my own (new to me) car and it does not specify a weight limit for using UAS. Am I to assume that it has a 40lb max child weight if it does not state anything? I'm pleased at the...

    2006 Suzuki Aerio

    Has anyone installed seats in this car? 4 door wagon, has some sort of middle shoulder belt thing (from the roof area at the back, you pull it down and feed it through a metal loop to make a lap belt into a shoulder belt I think), and three tether anchors. It has UAS (yay). I need to fit a...

    HC consumer product incident report form

    Are these actually followed up on? Last week I reported a second hand store selling non compliant seats where I live. I saw them with my own eyes. 8/12 were most definitely non compliant (some dated 2007, some branded sunshine kids, some with the Z handle etc.) Today, I called somewhere...

    If you knew

    Of a particular store that was accepting returns on car seats once they've been used, was sealing the boxes shut and putting them back on the shelves for sale, what would you do? Who would you tell? I kind of think this is not okay:thumbsdown:

    Need a quick answer please

    Only because I seem to have misplaced my Britax Frontier XT manual and am installing it in a different vehicle that we're taking on a 2+ hour to the lake tomorrow. Can I use a locking clip on it? The vehicle is older, no UAS, and has ELR belts and a sliding latchplate. I looked at the...

    When someone comes through a clinic

    with a very old and expired seat they are using, what do you do? Another tech and myself are doing a clinic next week and we have been given the heads up that someone with "real old seats" may be attending. This person has 3 kids in seats, not sure if they are boosters or harnessed seats yet...

    To buy tonight, sales?

    DH has told me to go buy another booster (for our 6.5 year old, 48lb kiddo) to keep in our spare vehicle. Please understand.......he has banned me from buying more seats, so I'm going tonight before he changes his mind! We have 2 HBTB (one in papas car and the other in my car), and 2 harnessed...

    Need confirmation re: no overhang

    Does anyone know if the newer Nauti's allow 80% of the seat to only be on the seat, as compared to what I've always thought, that NO overhang is allowed in either harnessed or booster mode? I read in a US (because that's all I could find online) manual that didn't specify anything about...

    Sears selling non complaint seats

    A friend of mine and I were out looking at seats tonight in Sears, and came across a Symphony 65 on the shelf. We checked the DOM, and it was a 2010 DOM which is fine, we know that some seats manufactured in 2010 meet 2012 regs HOWEVER, the label on the side of the seat also stated that the...
