    Bubble Bum, and 5 step test

    I ordered two Bubble Bum's for when the kids are with my sister or when we travel. They'll be here tomorrow. I cannot wait to play with them! And in other news, the 110 lb 10 yo (who went from a size 10 this summer, straight into a size 16!) passed the 5 step test today in our Suburban. I...

    Configuration Challenge - RV family, 4 kids, and a truck

    I've been contacted by an RV'ing mama who wants some help with their seating configuration. This is a full time RV family. They own a truck and a fifth wheel trailer. There is not an option at this time to get another vehicle, so we're working within the confines of this vehicle only. The...

    Pink/Flowery/Princessy Boosters

    I'm out of the loop for current styles/covers, so I'm counting on you all for what's out there! About to be 8 yo girl. Just shy of 60 lbs, just over 53 inches. Said child would like a PINK or Princess looking booster. I hate the Monterey covers, so that one is out. What else is out there...

    2007 Honda Ody - eighth seat

    I have a 2007 Honda Ody eighth seat to sell. Unfortunately, it's missing the bottom cushion. Aside from calling Honda and getting a replacement, any idea where to get a replacement cushion? It is *wicked expensive to go through Honda. :/ And just a side note, holy cats, I cannot even...

    The case of the tipping carseats (forward facing)

    I have an '04 Suburban. I have two in harnessed seats. I am having a continuing battle of keeping seats installed within safe parameters. It doesn't matter if I use the lock on the seat itself, or if I am locking the belt and engaging the retractor. I will install the seat and lock it. Within...

    FR85 Armrests

    I've had the armrests on *both of my FR85 break. :/ Would you use them with the broken armrest in harness mode, or would you put it up until you get a replacement from Britax?

    What the - ??

    The armrest broke off my FR85. I'm annoyed. That's all.

    That's No Green Smoothie!

    Remember the green smoothie explosion on the FR85? Yeah. So yesterday kiddo #6 (5 yo) gets in the car yesterday. I'd told him to put a shirt on so we could go pick up big sis in a little bit. He does not, in fact, put his shirt on, nor his shoes. He does, however, get IN the car (windows...

    Helpful Hint for the Day

    If, hypothetically speaking, you found a carseat in such a state that it necessitated hosing it off in order to clean it off, please note that it may take on water inside the shell. Especially if it is a (brand new, in use for less than two weeks) FR85. Fortunately, the solution to water...

    Monterey

    I've had my Monterey for two years. And? It is falling. apart. The wings won't stay closed on the back, the headrest is hard to adjust, a piece of elastic broke on the cover.... Two years old, and I'm ready to throw it in the trash. Sigh.

    Uh. Halp.

    Went to a friend's today to do a seat check. She has her two kiddos (newly minted 4 yo, and almost 7), and three daycare kiddos (infant, 2, 3). I took a bunch of seats w/me (thanks to TXAggie!) so we could try different ones, b/c I knew that some of the seats were expired. Here are the rundown...

    Let's Play Carseat Shuffle!

    I'm going to go on a long trip in a few weeks, and I can't decide who to put in what seat. In play: Two Radians, that are a PITA to install with L/S. Two full size Safeguards One falling apart Monterey (the back wings won't stay put) Parkway SG (only fit the 6 and 4 yo well) Two Frontier 85...

    Those Darn TB Screws!

    Hey, will Graco send like, a bunch of these for us to pass out? Or is there a certain size we can just go BUY? I swear not a single TB I have seen in recent times have had the screws in them, and not one parent even remembered screws coming with it. I wish I could just have packets of these...

    Boost America

    Who else has been around long enough that they remember doing a Boost America event several years ago? I can't remember what year that was, but there were a ton of sponsored checks and booster giveaways that year. Anyway. I worked a HUGE event in Eastern WA that year, and it was so wicked...

    Whatever happened with -

    The grandma seats? I think it was called Grandma Knows Best? Did anyone ever get a response to the questions they sent in? Did the site get yanked?

    Frontier 85 vs Radian

    How much taller is the top height on the 85 vs the Radian? What's the width difference on the two? If I can't get an easy install with the Radian, what is the likelihood of the Frontier 85 working? I remember the first Frontier was a beast to get installed in my '04 Chevy Suburban.

    Breaking up with my Radians

    Well, let me tell you. All my Radian love is LOST right now. I ended up putting the Safeguards (full size) back into my truck. I have a 2004 Chevrolet Suburban. I get a WICKED tight fit w/the Radians and LATCH - only both kids are now above LATCH limit. I can get a decent fit with the L/S...

    Slip Slidin' Away

    The Mr's new to him car is a 2001 Volvo S40. This morning I attempted a Radian install. Um. Not so much. It was clearly going to take longer than the two minutes I had. And DANG, those seats were good and slippery! I'll try it again later, just because I"m stubborn like that. Pretty sure the...

    Solutions for Older Kids

    1) 12 yo, 88 lbs, 5'3" autism. I can*not* get him to sit right in the car. He submarines constantly, even in an Olli Clek. It's better in the Clek, but lately he's been trying to sit w/o the Clek and it's not pretty. I turned around a few days ago when I was at a stop light, and he was slouched...
