    Q about insurance reimbursement for new seats after a crash

    So you typically need to show proof of having owned those specific seats? I had 2 Huskies and a Marathon. I found an old thread, and it seems USAA just reimburses you for whatever seats you are buying. But I don't know if I'll need to prove that the seats that I can't use are of equal or...

    Oh, the agony...

    It pains me to throw away seats that look perfect, but that were in an accident. Though, now that I brought them in the house to take the covers off, I can smell air bag fumes on them. I hate doing this. But I know I have to. It would at least *feel* more justified if the EPS foam was...

    Safest crossover cars?

    This may be premature, but my guess is that my van is totaled. The only thing I haven't loved about my van is its gas mileage, which could be helped with a smaller vehicle. I need to be able to seat 6, though, so I'm thinking of crossovers. I know very little about them in general, though...

    Anyone interested in Husky covers?

    I had a wreck yesterday, so I'm done with my Huskies, and will be selling the covers. If no one here wants them, they'll go on ebay. I haven't even thought of pricing yet, so make me an offer. I have one full set of Marina blue - the cover, belly pad, shoulder pads, and hugs. Then I have...

    http://www.amazon.com/gp/goldbox/ref=xs_gb_logo According to zappdeals.com (which seems to be accurate), the Britax special will be on the Monarch. The Gold Box usually has pretty deep discounts.

    Need help - Husky in 3rd row of Kia Sedona

    I need to get one of our Huskies installed in the 3rd row with the seatbelt. I think I may have heard at some point that one side offers a bit more space than the other, but right now, it's too hot in the van to try again. Especially with two kids playing around in there. I first tried with...

    Question for any familiar with NC and/or military bases

    A friend of mine was told by an MP that carseats are NOT allowed in a pickup truck. I've never heard this. Is it possible that it's just a rule on our base (Bragg), or does this MP just not know what he's talking about?

    Is there any car you certainly would NOT recommend the GN for?

    I'm going over to help a friend with her seat today. I don't know yet what seat she has, I think it's a combination seat, though. Her son is around 3, and is forward facing. I wouldn't expect to be able to convince her to turn him rear at this point, but I do want to encourage keeping him...

    Carseats in pickup trucks

    Tell me your thoughts, please. Dh is buying a pickup, with just the front bench. It has an airbag, and it has the place on the dash where you can put a key in to turn the air bag off. They kids very very rarely rode with dh before anyway, and then it was just for the novelty of it, or if we...

    Various booster questions

    I know Britax ones have deep head wings, the Turbo does not, but which others are deep enough to land in the "deep" category? I think this month, probably this week, is when I'm ordering Mikayla's new booster, to be used as a spare (and to be used stateside, after we ship the van to Germany...

    What car to rent?

    If you were going to rent a car, and needed to fit 2 boosters (PW and one other that hasn't been determined yet) and RF MA, and also need room for suitcases, plus, of course, 2 adults in the front, what car would you rent? I want value, but enough space. Minivans are awfully pricey to rent...

    Need help picking a new booster

    Hey guys! I haven't been following the posts recently, but I hear t here are a few new options available, and it's about time for me to buy a booster. We may be flying this weekend, and I just can't take a Husky with me. I'll be flying with all 3 kids. Boosters would of course be checked...

    Any more word on testing to RF beyond 35?

    I tried searching but didn't see it - has there been any more news on, I think Radian? being tested to RF to maybe 40 lbs? Xander is in the Marathon for now, but we'll be moving to Germany next year, and if the Radian gets approval for 40 lbs, I'd buy it before we leave.

    Carseats in Germany?

    Okay, I need the lowdown! We just found out last night that next Nov, we'll be moving to Bamberg. What are the carseat laws? Currently, Xander is in the MA RF, and he's around 24 lbs so he's got plenty of time left in it. Do German seats RF for longer though? That would rock. The big...

    Need help communicating with school about carseats

    So, Thursday was the first day of school, and I remembered that I'd really like to somehow discuss car safety with the principal. We typically walk to/from school, but in the extreme cold, or rain, or when I've got errands to run, I drive. The problem I have is this - I pull up, he gets in...

    EB HBB?

    don't know if this has been discussed yet, but i was surprised to see this today. http://www.target.com/gp/detail.html/ref=br_1_4/601-0926451-6573745?ie=UTF8&frombrowse=1&asin=B000PBXJTS I played with it. It adjusts taller than the Airbooster, it has EPS foam, Britax-like head wings. Ignore...

    Was anyone here in Myrtle Beach last week?

    Because at Planet Hollywood, on Sunday the 22nd, I was parked beside a Grand Caravan with 2 Regent's in the 3rd row, and I had to fight the urge to run back inside and scan the restaurant for a family with 2 kids who were the right size for Regents! :D Seriously, how funny is it that I, with...

    Tried out the Triumph Advance and Airbooster

    I think my mom thought I was insane. We went to BRU to get a stroller, and I hadn't been in one in quite a while and we don't have that selection of carseats anywhere where we live. Triumph Advance - Mikayla is at the top slots of her MA, and she was also right at the top of the limit in the...

    Sore butt in a Husky?

    Who is it that has dealt with this? What helped? Mikayla hadn't complained about it before but tonight we were in a different vehicle for a few hours and she was complaining that her butt was hurting. It does not have a recline bar in it right now, and I think the install in this vehicle was...

    Tethering to seatbelt - Rebekah and Jenny?

    Hey, I googled and found a thread with some pics that Jenny posted once, and instructions on doing it. Just one question - is hooking it to the actual belt safer or less safe or the same, as hooking it to the male part of the buckle only? Assuming good installs, I think I'll be installing them...
