    Recommendation for a FF car seat combo booster

    I have not been on the list in a while so I apologize if this is a repeat question. I just bought a minivan (love it !) and I am looking to buy a 3rd car seat to take friend's children. I am looking at buying one that will convert to a booster and that can hold a higher weight as a car seat...

    Britax Roundabout Latch Question

    I purchased a Roundabout to be used as a second car seat and for travel. For some reason I am having trouble following the instructions on how to switch the Latch Connectors for rear facing. I own a Boulevard and Marathon and have had to do this for these seats, but the Roundabout is different...

    2nd Car Seat

    Hi I have previously posted this question but it has been a while so I thought I would re ask. I am looking for a second car seat for my husbands car and to us for travel for my 11 month. We currently have a boulevard (which I love) but I do not want to spend 300+ again. For my 2 year old we...

    Question about the Safety First Uptown

    I need a carseat for my husbands car that my children are rarely in. I previously posted asking for recommendations for a less expensive but easy to use good convertible carseat (we have a Britax Boulevard for my car) and several people recommended the Safety First Uptown. I went to look at it...

    45' angle for RF

    Hi Although I am sure this has been discussed before I can not seem to find the answer to my question. I just purchased a Britax Boulevard and got a good install with latch and the versa-tether. I am just not sure if the seat is at a 45' angle is there any trick so you can tell? It just seems...

    Convertible Car Seats

    Given the recent consumer report study and the uncertainty of if the SS1 flew off the base I am switching my 6 month old to a convertible car seat. I have my 2 year old in a Marathon and love it but I was wondering what the difference between the Boulevard and Marathon are, and if one is...

    LATCH Weight Limit

    I thought I heard somewhere that there was a 48 lb limit for using LATCH, but then heard it depends on the car? I have found in general I get much better installs using LATCH. I do not seem to be able to always get it so tight using the seat belt so perfer to use LATCH. My car manual does not...

    SafeSeat Infant Carrier and question regarding LATCH versus seat belt

    I have 2 unrelated questions & hope it is OK to post them on one thread 1. I just bought the Graco Safe Seat (I am 33 weeks pregnant with #2) and was reading the manual. It does not say specifically what position the carrier handle should be in the car. I had a Peg Preggo in the past and the...

    Latch versus Seat Belt for Car Seat in Middle

    Before my now 18 month old was born we were living in St. Louis and took the car seat to the fire department (who had certified technicians) for installation. As we all know the safest place for a child is in the middle so they installed the car seat in the middle using LATCH. However, this...

    I am pregnant with #2 and looking into a new infant car seat. I have the Peg Preggo but it has been used for 2 babies and due to stroller issues (want to get the Graco duoglider) need to get a Graco infant seat. I know the SnugRide has excellent safety ratings. How does the Infant Safeseat...
