    Well, we made it to 9

    H made it to 9 years and 4 days before I had to pull her booster.:( She's 4'10", 85-90 lbs. She's always been long torsoed and in everyone else's cars she's been out of a booster since school started, but I kept her in a booster in my sububran because the seat depth was just enough bigger than...

    CA law questions

    I have to be quick...my niece is 6, but weighs 35 lbs. She recently outgrew a FPSVD so she's tallish in the torso. She recently spent a week with her dad in California, without a booster. He said he bought a booster seat but it turns out he never did. What specifically does CA law say...

    Okay, the Frontier isn't going to work for long

    Doggonit. She's too big. She fits, but not for long. I'm glad I didn't actually pay for this. This is going to be a short term loan.:thumbsdown: Unless there is a magic button that makes it go higher, this is as high as it goes. Here is a pic in the Monterey which isn't a ton better...

    I'm in the market for another booster

    My niece turns 5 on Wednesday and has been on a crazy growth spurt. In June she was just outgrowing a Scenera, barely 30 lbs. This weekend I noticed that her shoulders are right AT the top slots in the FPSVD and last night we weighed her and she weighs 35 lbs. The fact that she grew so fast...

    Awesome car seat check yesterday

    The state patrol was having an emphasis patrol on a stretch of highway this weekend that is usually traveled on like a race track. They were specifically targeting DUI's and speeding. They also had an education set up at a rest area, and asked me to come along. It isn't a good stretch of...

    The news is spreading

    about the new rf recos. (New as in AAP). On another chat board (dog related, not kid) people have posted that Dr. Sears is sending out emails, and one of my facebook friends was confused, and a little annoyed that 3 months ago her doctor told her to turn her son, and now she's getting emails...

    My sis and I spent almost an hour arranging car seats today!

    My niece will be 5 in October, but is VERY small. She's about 37 inches, and weighs only 32 lbs. My aunt will be baby sitting one day a week, and needs a seat for her. My mom has an Evenflo Chase that is about to expire. We sat down and listed all the seats that we have for her, the cars and...

    Did anyone watch Deliver Me last night?

    One of the doctors came on after the show and said "Did you know that your 1 year old is 5 times as safe in a rear facing car seat?" I was happy to hear that, except I wish it had included a little more information. That being said, Each time the doctors show their kids in the car, there are...

    Guess what I saw? Not a bad thing, just-creepy

    I live in a town that is slightly behind the times with regards to car safety. We can sit at a clinic in my town for 4 hours and not one person will show up. So at the grocery store this weekend (which I NEVER go to) I saw the strangest thing. I drive a silver Envoy, and right now in my truck...

    FS: Adidas soccer cleats

    They are black and bright green, size 1 kids. DD wore then for a 6 week season, and outgrew them. I'll throw in a pair of shin guards too. They are practically brand new, and with the exception of a bit of dirt on the cleats, they're spotless. I'll post a picture in a bit. $15 with...

    Britax top tether vs FPSVD top tether

    Are they virtually the same? I noticed my FPSVD tether has a rip in it and I need to replace it, I know that the harness systems are a bit different and the buckles are significantly different, so I'm afraid that the top tethers are too. Does anyone know? It is technically under warranty still...

    Replacement Monterey covers

    Will be available in about 60 days. I asked Russ about it this week because I think the pink is a dirt magnet. I have OCD tendancies, and I can't stand dirty car seats. I want to be able to wash it, or change it to the red, but dd is fond of the pink for some reason. I could at least have a...

    I've never had a good car seat story to tell:

    until today! There is a lady who works at the high school who is a know-it-all and extensive researcher. She was buying a car seat for her grand daughter this week and spent all day Monday on the computer looking. She checked consumer reports, and then recall lists and was disgusted that many...

    Price suggestion for 06 Parkway

    Now that I have the Monterey, I don't need it. Manu date is 10 or 11/06, comes with Cowmoo and Speedway covers and is quite clean. I don't want to ship it because finding boxes is such a pain to me. Both covers are stain free, and I will wash the Speedway cover because it has something on it...
