    Know where your sticker is when flying with car seats!

    I had previously flown with my older DD 5 times and not once had gotten asked to see the sticker that states the seat is acceptable for use in a plane. We hadn't flown for almost a year, but we just got back from a trip flying on Allegiant Air, and I took the Radian for older DD and the Uptown...

    SafeSeat 1 head supports interchangeable?

    Does anyone know if the 3 different head supports are interchangeable on the SS1? For example, my friend has an Heirloom cover on her SS1 and lost the head support. It was like the first one pictured on page 18 of the manual: http://www.gracobaby.com/Instruction%20Manuals/ISPC065BA.pdf I...

    Safety 1st Avenue on sale - KMart.com

    Was browsing the K-Mart site and noticed that the Safety 1st Avenues are marked down to $69.99. Not sure if the price in store is the same, haven't been to K-Mart lately. Then, if you sign up for K-Mart e-mails, you can get $5 off your purchase, which would pay for most of your shipping.

    TA Retrofit for '98 Honda Accord?

    Hopefully, someone can help me out. I have a friend with a 2 door '98 Honda Accord with no top tether anchors. Is this something she can have retrofitted? If so, how can I get a service bulletin or part number for what she needs. Thank you!

    Uptown and Avenue Comparison Update

    My first quick comparison is in this thread. With the sale at K-Mart this week and a $5 off coupon, an Avenue came home with us today to try out. So, I installed it in my car and there are a few other differences that I missed the first time. First, when I got home, we (azgirl71 and I) worked...

    Avenue Owners - Check your manual PLEASE!

    I picked up a new Safety 1st Avenue today, DOM 7/7/2008, and the instruction manual with it is a little odd. It seems they repeated two sections of pages and left out some others. :eek: Mine goes something like this: Pages 1-10 Pages 19-26 Pages 19-26 Pages 27-34 Pages 27-34 Pages 43-50 I'm...

    Uptown and Avenue Comparison

    So, I went to K-Mart today to see if they had Avenues here. Which they did, but only the pink/brown one. If they had the black/silver one, I would have it here at home to do an actual side by side comparison, but I did snap some pictures of the Avenue and put them next to some Uptown pictures...

    Scenera buckle?

    I have been using our Scenera more lately and the buckle tongues are driving me crazy! The DOM on my seat is 1/16/08 and they look like this: The tongues are really tight on the harness. It's nice that they stay in place instead of sliding around, but with the continuous harness sliding...

    Double Stroller that holds Keyfit and toddler?

    I'm helping a friend stroller shop. Here's what I've got: - Her DS will almost be 2 when the new baby comes. - She has a Keyfit, not the 30, and would like a stroller that will accept it. - Stroller will mostly be used for the mall and neighborhood walks. - Folding space for the trunk is...

    Graco Comfortsport harness adjustment?

    I'm really not liking the Graco Comfortsport. I have tried to help 2 different moms in my playgroup with this seat. One was RF, one was FF. In both cases, after we got the seat installed in the car, when we went to adjust the harness, it adjusted completely unevenly. One side was way tighter...

    Swift, Triumph, or Spirito?

    Britax Marathon in 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee

    Yesterday I helped a friend install a Britax Marathon in her Grand Cherokee, and I had a couple questions I just want to verify until she can get it checked. 1. The previous seat used was a SnugRide and the base installed in the center using LATCH. However, I looked through her manual and...

    How car seat laws are enforced?

    After a strange encounter at Wal-Mart yesterday, I got to thinking that I don't really know how the car seat laws are really enforced. Is it a fine or would they charge you with a crime? I've tried to read state laws before, but always get confused when reading them. Is there somewhere I can...
