    Just realized our Marathon is expired...

    Safety 1st Playsafe infant seat at Zellers?

    Does anyone know anything about this seat? It's on page B3 of the current Zeller's flyer: http://hbc.ca.flyerservices.com/cached_Banner_pages/publication.aspx?BannerName=ZELL#nothing It's on for $50, which might make it worth our while to get one to get us through the first few months with our...

    Cosco X90 travel system?

    Zellers has this on Moonlight Madness on Friday the 27th for 119.97. The copy says the infant bucket rear faces to 40lbs. I can't find this travel system on Cosco's site, and Google turns up nothing. Does anyone know anything about this system? Is it really a 40lb infant seat? Not that I can...

    Frontier Install ?

    Thanks to the TJs sale, we got our Frontier, and it was made less than two weeks ago! I'm not thrilled with the short path install, and our belts are about six inches too short for the long path. I think I may get a better install in the center, where we only have a lap belt (tightens manually)...

    What would you do for a tall 2-1/2 yr old?

    My DD is almost 2-1/2, and because of a growth disorder she's 42" tall and 42 lbs. She also has the bone age of a 4-1/2 to 5 year old. She will soon be starting medication which should slow down her growth, but we don't know yet how much it will slow her down. She has maxed out her Marathon...

    When has my child outgrown her MA?

    When we bought our Marathon, I was sure we were told that she could stay in it as long as her ears were below the top of the shell. Sure enough, I just found our manual online, and this is what it says: IMPORTANT: Once the top slots become necessary, the child may continue to use restraint...

    True Fit FF with recline foot in RF position?

    So I realized we've been mis-installing the TrueFit my DD uses in my mom's car, and have had the recline foot in the RF position. It has meant for a nice recline to the seat, and we still had a rock-solid install. Last week I installed it with the foot in the correct position (in a different...

    question about infant buckets and keeping my toddler harnessed

    My 28-month old is 42 inches tall and 42 pounds (she has a growth disorder that we're hoping to have controlled with meds in the near future) so I can see the end of her time in her Marathon. I'm trying to figure out the best way to keep her harnessed as long as possible, and it looks like our...

    Bought a True Fit today

    We needed a seat for Grandma's car, so I checked here first to see what the best option was and saw the thread about the True Fit. DD is 28 lbs and 32 inches at 13 months, so it seemed like a good choice (she has a MA in our car). My mom called Zellers (Hillside in Victoria) and they had just...

    help me choose a seat for Grandma's car

    Hi My daughter is 13 months old, pushing 28 lbs and about 32 inches tall, so she's essentially the size of a two year old. We have her RF in a Marathon and she's still happy that way, but my mom has just bought a new-to-her 98 Civic, and wants to get a seat of her own. Since this is rarely...

    Seat Belt Buckle on Marathon Install?

    We finally got our Marathon-yay!- and I think I'm happy with the install, except for where the seat belt buckle is sitting. You can see it in this pic The belt end is sitting right on the lock-off, so I can't use it. The centre lap belt is the kind that adjusts by pulling the belt back on itself...
