    Question Britax Parkway SGL G1.1 bad install?

    Hi, My daughter who is 8 1/2 and is 49 inches tall and 59 lbs begged me to take her out of her radian and in to a booster. She really wanted the cub pink Parkway (gag - not a fan of animal prints LOL). I tried to install it today in the middle row of my 2010 Dodge Grand Caravan. With the...

    diono santa fe in toyota matrix shoulder belt woes

    My mom is visiting from out of town for a week and has volunteered to pick my kids up from school. I thought I'd make my life easier and just buy an extra lbb for my son rather than swapping out boosters from another car. She'll also have him for a month in the summer. In the past, we've used a...

    Question Next step re. boostering

    DS is 10 years old and tiny. He's roughly 4'6" and 55 lbs soaking wet with a full stomach. On the other hand he has a giant head. He's always been off the growth charts - the bottom for height and weight and the top for head circumference. He's my own adorable bobble head. :love: He has been...

    Question Latchable booster in 3rd row Grand Caravan

    I just got a Compass B570 for my son. I was going to use it in the 3rd row of my 2010 Grand Caravan. However the latch anchors in the 3rd row of the Grand Caravan are jenky. They are not at the edge of the seat they're sort of 2/3 of the way in. So, if I latch it, I'm thinking the seat belt...

    Headwing space measurements

    Does anyone know of a site that lists the headwing measurements? DS has a HUGE head. He just turned 10 and I need to get him out of 2 regents. He has a Parkway SG that he likes, but doesn't love. He says the fabric is scratchy (it is an Onyx). I ordered the Monterey and thought he'd love it. He...

    Question Parkway fabrics or other recommendation?

    DS's regents are due to expire. He's 10 on Sunday. He loves his Regents - he never wants to get rid of them. He's really too old for a harnessed seat. He has a Parkway in Dad's car and he doesn't love it. He says it's comfy but he hates the fabric. It's the Onyx. Is there a plush fabric in the...

    Safety 1st Alpha Elite 65 for Grandma's car?

    DD is 5 years old, 35 pounds and I'm not sure how tall. She's a tiny little thing - somewhere in the 10 - 25% for height and weight. MIL picks her & big brother up from school every day and drives them home. It's about 10 miles in a suburban area. MIL drives a newer little KIA SUV - not sure of...

    FF Radian install ?s for tiny big girl

    Well DD is going to be 4 in November and has lobbied effectively to have her Radian switched FF in our 08 Saturn Aura. While it was a bear to install RF (Had to have BIL an ex college football defenseman come over and do it because neither DH nor I could get it tight enough) it was easy to...

    Is he ready for a booster?

    :confused:Uggg - DS is certainly old enough. He'll be 8 in July. MIL picks him up from school everyday. I check his seat periodically to make sure it is ok and I noticed last week that the highest strap is even with his shoulder. He's in an Apex 65 in her 2000 Honda CRV. I don't love that seat -...

    Should I buy new seats when my existing ones don't expire till next year?

    I just realized that 2 of my seats will expire next year. A wizard that I'm using for DD in my DH's car and a Moo Cow Marathon that is just in the attic. I was just going to worry about it next year, but I see that BRU is having a promotion where you can turn in a car seat and get 20% off a new...

    Sand in BV buckle

    So DD is a total mess. LOL She LOVES playing in the sandbox at daycare. Usually DH picks her up and he's smart and remembers to take off her shoes and socks before he puts her in the car seat. I am not so smart. :( Twice in the last week, DH has had to work late so I've picked up the baby. Both...

    Which booster for a back up

    So, I'm thinking of buying a booster for DS to use on playdates/field trips and for his friends to use when I drive them some place. I haven't done any research on boosters, because I want him to be harnessed for as long as possible. So, just based on a bit of reading here, I've seen Parkway...

    Question Do I need to buy a booster for playdates/field trips?

    DS is 6, but is a tiny peanut. He's like 35lbs soaking wet. He's in a Regent in mine and DH's car and an Apex 65 in MIL's car. I am assuming that as he gets older this school year that he may want to go on playdates or with another parent on field trips (private school - rarely uses busses). I...

Here's my installation questions. 1) I have a Regent that DS will use both in the passenger side 2nd row captains chair and in the 3rd row drivers side seat depending on who we have with us. I couldn't get a tight install without taking...

    08 Grand Caravan - Regent/RF BV?

    I'm cross-posting this from the car safety forum because I haven't gotten any response. So, I'm 99.9% sure I'm going to get an 08 Dodge Grand Caravan SXI. Has anyone had any experience installing a Regent and a Boulevard in this vehicle? I'm thinking I'll install the Regent in the 3rd row (my...

    08 Grand Caravan - Regent and Boulevard

    So, I'm 99.9% sure I'm going to get an 08 Dodge Grand Caravan SXI. Has anyone had any experience installing a Regent and a Boulevard in this vehicle? I'm thinking I'll install the Regent in the 3rd row (my son thinks the third row is way cool LOL. He's only 35 lbs so he's still latchable. The...

    Daycare and carseats

    Uggg - I'm so irritated today and don't know where else to vent. I :love: my Daycare provider. She watched my son from when he was 2 1/2 until he went to school full time this year. She's had my daughter since she was 12 weeks old. She accomodates all my requests (cloth diapers, lets me come bf...
