    Trouble w/ NBB seatbelt adjuster

    My 2 girls ride in backless boosters in DH's car. They are 7 and 8 (9 in Oct). They had been in HBB in his car but he was complaining too much about visibility when he backs up, saying it was LESS safe for them in the HBB cause he was MORE likely to be in a wreck. DH is a VERY careful driver and...

    Booster - best pick?

    My youngest daughter turns 7 this week! She currently rides in 3 different seats depending on the situation. #1 - Regent - she is still one slot down from the top, but honestly I could move her up any time now. She almost always rides in this seat when we travel a long distance and have to be...

    How great is the Triumph Advance really?

    OK, I have a 5.5 year old that rides very happily in a MA. Fits her great, she will outgrow it sometime soon, I'll guess in the next year or a little less. But she will then move to her sister's (turns 7 next month) Regent at that point. Older sis will go to a booster then. I was fine with that...

    Backless booster help

    OK, I need a backless booster for VERY occasional use. I WILL not have my children in one full time until it's unavoidable. I just need a backless to leave with Grandma, can't buy a HBB and use it backless. Are they pretty much all created equal (with the Cleks being the exception)? I'm liking...

    Booster profile?

    Can anyone tell me which booster has the lowest stance? The only boosters I have to compare to are the HB Turbo and the Compass B510. The seat area of the Compass is too tall, the Turbo is better for us, but I'm just not the hugest fan of the Turbo. TIA!

    Is my Turbo broken, replace it with a FP?

    When my HB Turbo is raised up where I need it to be and very little pressure is applied to the top of the headrest, it falls down a click or 2, like the locking mechanism that holds the headrest in position is worn out. Would this prevent it from working properly in a crash? I've had it for...

    Learningcurve website help

    OK, this is so stupid! I want to order a Daisy cover for our B510 booster. The site used to be compassbaby.com, that automatically redirects you to learningcurve.com now, fine. I searched that site and can't find any replacement covers at all. I called their CS and she said I needed to go to...

    Scenera buckle options

    My local WM now has the Daisy Scenera on display, so I had to go fondle it for awhile! LOL! Anyway, I noticed it had a different buckle, not the same as my brown/black Scenera. So then I checked out the brown/black ones there and some had the buckle I have and some had a different one. I've had...

    ETA questions

    Soon I will be asked for a list of convertible seats for my BIL and SIL to buy for their twin girls. I have been leaning towards the ETA. My dd rides in a MA, but I'm not sure I will convince BIL to spend the $ on 2 MAs. The ETA is cheaper, adjusts taller (right?), and is easier to come by in...

    Regent's top slots mystery

    I know someone was talking about the top slots of the Regent perhaps being 19" instead of 20 now. Well I was checking out the new format at Britaxusa.net and the Regent page really has me confused. It says the top slots are 19.1", but the seated shoulder height is 12-20 inches. HUH...

    Baby Trend Flex Loc

    I'm shopping for infant seats for my nieces. They are basically expecting them to be born a month early, her actual due date is Oct 14, so mid Sept IF they stay in that long, who knows! I *think* I've narrowed it down to the BT Flex Loc. It's cheap and I can buy it at WM.com with free site to...

    SIL + preemie twins + USED carseats = HELP!!

    My SIL is pregnant with twins, they are due Oct 14, but more likely will be born in Sept some time. This is her fourth pregnancy, she says the other 3 deliveries were a breeze and she doesn't expect to have any trouble, BUT her youngest child is 18!! My SIL is 43 and I'm fairly concerned they...

    Tethering past 48 pounds question

    So my dd is about 50 pounds and rides in the Regent using the top anchor the dealership installed in my 2000 Gr Caravan. A few times a week my oldest dd rides in the 3rd row (on the other side), but only a few times a year does anyone else ride back there. My question is this: Would it be better...

    Compass B510 vs Evenflo Confidence

    My dd is 4.5 and rides ~97% of the time in the Regent. I need a HBB for trips with Grandma or to throw in my sister's van for an occasional ride. It probably won't get used more than 8 times a year for now, but may be her full time seat when my younger dd outgrows her MA and needs the Regent...

    Reclining our seats a little for upcoming trip

    OK, 2000 Dodge GrCaravan, MA and Regent, usually in both capt chairs installed as upright as possible, Regent - long belt path, top tethered, no recline bar. We plan on going to my SIL's for Easter and will be leaving just after lunch. Normally my kids aren't nappers, but if you get them in the...

    Pont Vibe/Toy Matrix question

    Cross posting everywhere I can think of! :) I am going to help a someone I know install a Scenera FF in the rear center of her 2006 (probably... maybe '05) Matrix. She works with my dh and is trying to use the lap/shoulder belt and says she thinks that's why it's tipping. She said her carseat...

    Help with Touriva install

    I have a friend that I am trying to help her install the Cosco Touriva. She doesn't have the instructions for it YET, we emailed Dorel and are waiting on them. Does anyone know why the sticker on the side of the seat talks about a difference in the RF install if your child is 22-35# vs. 5-22#...

    IF I become a tech

    I've been obsessed with carseats for a little over 2 years now. My dd outgrew the Graco CS @ 24 months and I was so confused, "the quest" began. My friends (2 - 4 people) know I'm a carseat nut. One lets me help her install seats and pick them out (her baby's almost ready for a convertible and...
