    Hey all. I have a question regarding what seat you'd get if you drove a 2011 Toyota Sienna--8 seater. I'm driving myself crazy with the options and was wondering what others would do. I currently have a 14 mo old(20lb 31") RF in a safety first bucket and he's getting close to needing to...

    A few 2011 sienna questions

    Currently we have 4 kids at home with 1 on the way. We have 2 in college right now. One drives so I don't really need to consider carting him around. However, there may be times over breaks when I need to take 6 of them somewhere with my husband. They are 18,17,almost 15, 9, and 3 with 1 on...

    Question Evenflo sonus experiences?

    Anyone have a personal experience with the evenflo sonus? I'm contemplating it as a replacement seat for my 21mo old who is currently in a britax pavillion that expires in the next few months. He's 34" and 24lb. I'd like to keep him RFing as long as possible. Obviously height is more important...

    Question BuckleRoo

    Anyone have one? Anyone know if they truly are safe? I don't want it to use on a booster seat for a child, but rather I want it to put on the middle seat belt which holds a car seat since my other kids have accidentally unbuckled that seat belt instead of theirs when getting out of the van...

    Question Evenflo sureride/titan65 question

    Are there strap extenders? I'm curious as my 6.5y/o son barely fits comfortably in the seat *for now* but not much longer. He's 48" and about 45lb so he's below the max weight/height for this seat. We have the straps at the 2nd to top slots and barely have enough threading/webbing to be able to...

    I have this seat for my son. I LOATHE it because with it installed properly, when he falls asleep his neck and head end up all twisted. I've tried using the insert that came with it, and I've tried without the insert completely and it does the same thing. Is there any solution I can do that...

    Question Graco classic connect 30 install question?

    Is this OK? I remember years ago there were rules that a base had to be fully on seat or only have 2" of overhang, etc. I was shocked to see this much overhang on a base in a 2nd row captain's chair. I tried to put it in the middle and I had about 4" of overhang. :(

    Question Recommendation needed 40"/35lb 3.25y/o

    Question 8y/o in 8th seat in Sienna

    We have a 2011 Sienna. We've had to put the 8th seat in since we've been carting an extra kid or 2 around a couple times a week. In this situation, we put my daugter in the 8th seat as she's the smallest of the rest (all other children in the van are 5' tall/11+yrs and in regular seats). She...

    This popped up on my fb and I thought YAY for them using baby in the middle seat rear facing. Then it got me thinking. I've always put the chest clip across the chest around armpit level. Some people have asked me and I always say it belongs there. Does chest clip position vary from seat to...
