    Can you install additional tethers?

    This question came up in another post and I want to clarify before we purchase another vehicle. If a vehicle comes with factor installed TAs can you pay to have more installed? Or have the already put in the maximum number allowed in the vehicle?

    latch and tethers on a '02 T&C

    We are hoping to buy a '02 T&C but I won't have the opportunity to see it before it comes home. (I don't trust my husband to accurately report what safety features he is seeing.) It is a limited AWD. Do the seat belts retract to lock? What type of belt does it have in the third row center...

    My silly kids. . . .

    We have Radians and Regents as our car seats but my silly kids don't like the harness protecters(they cloth things, we do/will use hugs) or the belly pads. Are they necessary? Does anyone else have kids who prefer not to use them?

    1 person vs. 2 person installs

    It really bugs me that I need a second person to get my seats installed well. I'm wondering what makes the difference for you between a 1 person and a 2 person install. Is it the car seat, the vehicle, or "tricks of the trade"? If you do a lot of installs do you find that more are 1 person...

    tethers In a Sprinter, solution?

    Yesterday Dh and I went and test drove an 03 Dodge Sprinter. We are considering buying it but I need to figure this out first. It has NO tethers anchors. All 8 of the rear seats have lap/shoulder belts that lock after you pull them out all the way. None of the positions have latch or tethers...

    The cost of seats. . .

    I've convinced my BFF to re-harness her son. He is almost 6 (in July) and weighs 47 lbs. They drive a Toyota Sienna but I don't know what year. Also, they take long road trips frequently and fly at least twice a year. I'm thinking a Radian is probably the best choice. I want to make sure I...

    Convinced my BFF. . . now we need to pick a seat.

    My girlfriend has her two youngest kids in well installed Britax seats but had moved her oldest to a booster. I talked to her about continuing to harness him and she agreed!! YAY! (I knew I loved her for a good reason.) Now we need to pick a good seat. G is 5.5 years old and weighs 47 pounds...

    If you had an extra. . .

    Radian. Would you keep it? My older two are riding in Regents and my younger two are in Radians. All purchased at the same time due to an accident. At the time of the accident there was a 5th car seat installed in my vehicle and we(insurance) replaced it with the Radian. My thought was to keep...

    Dodge Sprinter

    Do I really want one? I've read about the Radian install problems. I couldn't figure out if they were ever solved or not. This would be a major negative for me since we just bought 3 new Radians. We also had 2 Regents. In the one we looked at there were 3 seats with latch but no top...
