    Alpha Elite 65 for 5 yr old and 5 mo old

    I am considering to get one seat for my sitter instead of two seats. I have 3 children. She has a marathon that stays in her car all the time for my 2 yr old. However I need to get her another seat for transporting my 5 month old and my 5 year old. She never transports all 3 children at...

    Frontier seatbelt

    I am desperately trying to get 3 seats across the middle row of my Veracruz and am getting nowhere. Posted a couple weeks ago about this but seemed best to start new/recent thread. Several suggested using seatbelt installs instead of latch to get a little more space. I can not get a good...

    Advice for experimenting tomorrow--3 across

    I bought a Veracruz in January, which I love. Cept got pregnant in Feb. :-) Using 3rd row not an option for a bazillion reasons (must have that cargo space back there on a daily basis, school drop off needs, etc) Therefore I've got to go for the 3 across in 2nd row. Currently I have DD, 5...

    Frontier Install...why is it so hard???

    I am getting an okay install with the frontier after exterting an INCREDIBLE amount of effort. It is such a physical job, I am dreading doing it often. So this is admittedly more of a vent then real problem solving, however I am hoping there may be some tips or tricks to learn along the way...

    Really Struggling with True Fit Rear Facing

    Hello all, I see there were 2 other threads started on this today, and have read them. But thought it would be cleaner to start a new thread. Before I can even get to the problems I need to vent to say that I have read and researched, read and researched, and laid out the whole case to my...

    True Fit Premiere

    So I have decided to go with the True Fit for my baby on the way. I am still having some confusion over all the different true fits out there when I do a search. It seems that I should be going with the true fit premiere, right? Even though the colors aren't as fun. :-) I have seen other...

    True Fit Premier

    This may be a silly question, but I'm sure all of you know you can read about seats and compare until you turn yourself in circles. I am due within the next couple weeks with DS. (2nd child). I am an avid babywearer and no need/interest in a bucket. Pretty much settled on True Fit Premier...

    True Fit RF questions

    I am trying to decide on a seat for my newborn (due 7/2010). I am an avid "baby wearer" and no need for a bucket seat, happy to go straight to a convertible. This might sound silly but I am getting confused by the lingo. Is there more then one True Fit manufacturer. I see it listed as First...

    Britax Convertible Newborn Fit

    Hello, I had a Marathon and since it said it was for 5 lbs I thought I may just use that and no infant seat. However, I quickly found that even though they rate it for 5lbs that was not an option. The bottom set of the shoulder straps is way too high to be appropriate for a newborn. So I...

    Inexpensive convertible

    Hello, We have an aquaintance who has a grandchild in town and does not have a carseat. Umm...don't ask me how the child got home from the airport...I know little about the situation except that my husband called me this morning about this. They were going to try to find a used one to buy...

    Snugride or Safe Seat

    Hello, I have not been on this forum in several months and feel like I have become completely brain dead on all the info I had gathered in the past. I was last spending time on here when selecting a car seat to use for someone else's child that I transported. I ended up choosing a Britax...

    marathon vs radian

    Hello, Some of you may remember me from a few weeks ago...I was asking a lot of questions about seats...one I was buying for my sister in law and one I was buying for myself (I don't have a child but do transport other peoples children). I did buy a snugride for my sister in law (made sure to...

    Marathon RF height and Cosco 35

    I am going to get a car seat for my child care and although expensive, it seems a marathon may be my smartest choice. It seems I care for many BIG boys. (seems every time I get a new one they are bigger yet, it's kind of a joke around my place, and I seem to get way more boys than girls...just...

    Rebound/cocooning

    I am trying to better understand this. Is this also a problem with convertible seats in the RF position, or just infant carriers? Also, what if a child still meets the guidelines to be RF in the seat but their feet hang out...wouldn't a rebound effect break their little ankles? Just trying to...

    compass I400

    Any thoughts or opinions on the Compass... I've been tossing around a few different seats, but seem to be indecisive. I'm realizing this may be a good one as the mom I am buying a seat for has chronic illness, so the lightweight feature may be a benefit to take in consideration more heavily than...

    Used car seats

    Hello everyone, I was always under the impression that used seat = bad... so I was feeling bad for thinking how I could get a high qual seat for less $ if it was used...but I was also thinking how very short some of the infant carriers last and it seems somewhat wasteful if they can't be...
