    Suggestions for 3 car seats in an 05 Dodge Ram

    Our van is not fit for the 20 hour drive east so we are taking the truck. We will have Myself, my spouse, 13 year old boy, 8 year old boy in a Montery or Graco TB, 6 year old boy FF in a RAdian and 19 month old RF in a Radian. Can any car seat go in the front on the middle? It is a folding...

    Radian in an '07 Honda jump seat?

    We need a new van and I'm trying to avoid the problems of the one we have. I'd like to put a RF Radian and a FF Radian in the middle row keeping the seat on the passenger side free so kids can get in the back. Will they fit this way and leave that seat open with room enough to go forward? Thanks!

    What do you say?

    I take care of a little boy and showed and explained to his mom how to install his seat properly. We talked in length about car seat safety. Today her mother in law came to pick him up but she has some back issues so I put him in his seat. The seatbelt install was awful. Surprised the seat...

    Suggestions for a 7 seater vehicle

    I've just put the DNR notice on my van! I need to figure out what to get now but I'm overwhelmed. I thought I was set on a new Dodge but the back seat looks soooo small! I have a 14 year old that is taller than I am so he's having a hard time squeezing into the back. Others are 12, 7 in a...

    FF'ing and recline question

    We're heading on a looong road trip soon. I was thinking about leaving in the very wee hours of the morning so the 5 and 7 year olds would be sleeping a lot of the trip. What are the rules with how far you can recline the vehicle seat? The 7 year old is in a Monterey and the 5 year old in a...

    Am I overreacting?

    My in laws just got a new OLD car. All of the seat belts are lap belts. My FIL took my 7 year old to a car show with him and put his Monterey in the back..with the lap belt. If he had just taken him around the block I wouldn't be upset but he took him to the neighbouring town which is only 5-10...

    Help with RF Radian install in Windstar

    I tried to install our Radian RF in the Captains seat of our 2003 Windstar today and cannot figure it out! The LATCH anchors seem to come up too high and are in the way of the boot. I've tried having them under the boot and it doesn't seem to work. Over doesn't either. I tried the seatbelt and...

    Anyone with a 2008 Caravan or newer with 5 kids?

    I need a new van and looked inside the Caravan which I thought was what we are going to get but the back seat is small!!! There is only one set of LATCH and they are in a funny spot. I don't think I can get 5 kids into this van! I have one in a Monterey, one in a Radian FF and one RF. Any other...

    Older Radian question

    I bought 2 Radians back when Canadian Tire were clearing them out so they have summer '06 DOM on them. We're only using 1 on a regular basis for my 4 year old and the 2nd is now usually in DH's truck in case he takes him somewhere but it's so rare It's not a big deal to have to move seats I...

    HELP on lapbelts!!!

    As I was putting DS Monterey in the back seat I realized that I have a lapbelt back there and now I'm worried. I have a 7 seater minivan and kids ages are 13, 11, 6 and 4 with new baby coming in Dec. I was going to put new baby behind me and DS4 Radian in the other bucket since he still can't...

    Safe Stop WWYD?

    I have a 6 year old 48 lbs in a Radian and a 4 year old that is 30 something lbs in a Radian. I often have another child in the van so I move my 4 yr old boy to the older boys seat and put the younger child in the 4 year olds seat. There is a safestop on the 4 yr olds seat but not the bigger one...

    Having 2nd thoughts

    I was very set on getting a Radian for the new babe since I love the ones I have. After reading too much on here I'm 2nd guessing myself. Is the True Fit or Britax better? Is it just a matter of preference or space?? Space isn't really an issue as the baby will be in a Captain seat behind me...

    How to destroy car seats

    I've only had to trash one before after it being in an accident and Sears did it for me after I installed the new one. I have a HBB/5pt and a backless booster that have both expired. I assume I just chuck the fabrics and straps but what to do with the plastic? Anywhere to recycle? I'm in SW...

    Air travel with kids and car seats?

    We plan on doing a family trip as our Christmas gift rather than accumulating more crap in our small house! I have a 4 year old and 6 year old in Radians so I'll pick up some straps and we should be good to put them on the plane. I will have a newborn..we'll probably wait until Jan to go so...

    Got a Monterey!

    Went to The Baby Depot in Kitchener today and asked if they would match TJs price with the shipping and they did! Came to $149 with tax! I took the last black one but they had red ones that came with a free carry bag. DOM on both floor models is 12/08

    I have 4 boys. 13 and 11 year olds sit in the regular seats. 6 year old and 4 year old are in Radians. I am looking for a booster for when the 6 year old goes fishing with Daddy so we don't have to keep switching both of the seats. They don't go far..usually not more than an hours drive. Do I...

    Change of protocol they say

    I talked to Russ and he said they changed protocol after so many people were calling. Customer must pay for the shipping to send the car seat back to them. Of course they recommend to bring the car seat back to CT but when that's an hour drive away and then back and you've already done that i...

    Sunshine Kids customer service

    Has anyone else had issues with the customer service? I bought a Radian for $99 ($89 with coupon) and it's short strapped. Has a DOM of 08/06. I know it's a short strapped one because there is TONS of room left on my 4 year olds Radian and none with this one when he's in it. they are sending me...
