    Top 3 harnessed boosters?

    I am looking for a budget harnessed booster that harnesses to a good height. The child is slender but tall. The last such seats I used years ago were the Graco Nautilus. Are there equal but less costly options? Also I need to be able to install without a tether.

    Baby out grew Snug Ride

    Hello! My friend's baby outgrew his Snug Ride. The baby is about 20 lb and 5 months. He is already tall and a "big" boy. I mentioned the Evenflow Triumph Advance and the Marathon to her. She will check them out at BRU. She would also be interested in a convertable seat that will later go to a...

    Is it worth buying Nautilus if only 1 inch growth left?

    DS 6 years torso 16 3/4" and 50 lb has about 1 inch left in the Nautilus till the top slot. Is it worth buying it for him? I tried him both in the Nautilus and Regent and the Regent has a good amount left but it looks like the Nautilus will not give that much more. Odly enough I looked at the...

    Nautilus- do I need head rests behind the Nautilus?

    For an older van with lap only belts and no head rests, is the Graco Nautilus the seat I have been hoping for? Will this work and keep my child harnessed longer? Do I need to tether? Thank you, Anna

    86 Y harness came in and bought Graco Air Booster

    Late this afternoon the 86Y harness came in so I quickly installed it on one of the exsisting tether points and had DH and DD 10 try just the harness for me. Then tonight I bought the Graco Air Booster at Babies R Us with a ten dollar off card I still had. I installed it in the parking lot and...

    How to stop child from taking off strap covers

    One of my almost 25 month old babies rips off the strap covers as soon as I get her into her seat. When she is done with her strap covers she reaches over and takes off her sister's strap cover closest to her also. Is there a way to keep them on? TIA Anna

    How do I install a regent in this spot?

    Trying to rephrase question from previous post- I want to drive to BRU today and install their floor model Regent in a Dodge Ram '99 passenger van on a bench with lap only and tether. Which belt path do I need or what options do I have LBP SBP? Do I need a tether ? If not that would open up...

    How much more time does a Regent buy over a Radian?

    I am reconsidering a Regent for one of my children and I wonder how much more time I would buy versus a Radian. I would use the Radian over the top slots and to top of ears with shell. I realize this might not be that popular to do but do not want to get into that. Just curious if there is much...

    What would it take to install a Regent in this situation?

    Lap only, tether to 48 lb, no latch and a near 50lb child ( 46 1/2", 16 1/2" torso, 5 1/2 yr old)? I eyeballed the seat at the store and am reconsidering it for one of my children. I am concerned about the how wide the seat is. I would have to install it next to a Graco Air booster on an 86Y...

    Does the Radian have the option of a long belt path?

    I am not aware of it but it sure seemed like that would take care of my install issues with that seat. The FP Futura only worked that way and it would install rock solid everywhere. Anna

    Regent height limit 53"?

    Can some one explain this to me because it seems a child that height might still have shoulders beneath top slot of seat. Does that mean a child of 53" can not use the seat even if the torso height/top of shoulders is under the top slot? Has the child outgrown it? Thank you, Anna

    Best place to buy Graco Air Booster seat?

    I just ordered the 86 Y harness to go in our Dodge Ram '99 passenger van so I can put a booster seat on it. One of the boosters recommended was the Graco Air Booster since it doesn't need head support. The van has no head support and is lap only. Set up is for DS 7 (couple more days 8) torso 17...

    What can you tell me about the Safer Vest?

    Some one mentioned this as an option but when researching it online I can not find much. Will I need a tether, does it work on lap only belts? It gave a weight range but no height limits for the vest. It would be used on a bench seat with lap only. I would need it for a 7 yr old 58 lb and later...

    Is anyone familiar with this van? How do carseats fit in particular Radian or Apex? Are there other options that would work for 7 and 5 yr old little boys?
