    which harmony lbb for skinny leggy kids?

    Sorry, I've been searching around, I'm sure the answer is here somewhere, but I can't find it. I am looking into buying a couple of harmony backless boosters for travel and then for my parents to use on the rare occasion they grab one of my kids from school (7 minute drive). Kids are 5 (45"...

    Wondering what the rationale is for not using the booster offered by the rental car agency (esp. if there is no additional charge)? For a trip where there will be minimal car time.... thanks for your thoughts

    best fitting HBB for 06 prius?

    We've been using a vivo for my older son (51", prob 50lb, but he must be long in the torso - i think he was at the top slots of his brother's frontier85, if that's possible) . We have an 06 prius, and the belt keeps coming out of the positioner. I know to check but my husband forgets. Is...

    3 boosters in an '06 Prius?

    I will need to get three across, on occasion, in my 06 Prius. I have 2 vivos and a parkway sg. I don't think the PWSG will fit in the middle, and since we are experiencing a tremendous post-hurricane mosquito infestation i do not want to go out and play around with it just now. does anyone...

    need a new HBB

    I am looking for a HBB to use as a spare...or to swap out with what I currently have (PWSG and 2 Vivos) as a full time booster. It would be used in either a 2006 Prius (if it is the full time booster) or any of the following as a spare - 2001 Tacoma, 2001 Passat, or an older (1998? Volvo V70)...

    what to look out for in new FR85?

    So it looks like I'll be getting a new FR85 to replace my FR, due to a fraying harness issue (mine frayed right near the black metal ring where it attaches on the underside of the shell). Just curious what the common (or uncommon) problems are and what I should keep my eye out for - I never...

    wwyd - frayed harness

    So I recently had occasion to remove the cover and harness straps from our Frontier - and discovered that the harness was frayed right near the black metal buckle that attaches the harness to the underside of the shell. I called Britax. They are sending me replacement straps. But I got to...

    squirmy 6.5 yo has outgrown nautilus

    my 6.5 yo (abt 50 lbs and 50 inches) does not fit into his nautilus any more...i think its mostly the crotch strap that gets him, but he is basically topped out at the straps too. i am loathe to buy another big heavy harnessed seat, but we have been booster training recently and the kid just...

    selling MA's locally -what am i doing wrong?

    hope this kind of question is allowed.... i have two "classic" MAs (12/28/07 and 2/13/08) listed on craigslist. fi did some math, and from my research, it seemed as though $80 was a fair, and common, price for this vintage- but no takers. am i way off base on my asking price? they are in EUC...

    HBB and sitting upright/leaning forward

    I just got the Monterey for my 6 yr old son (49", 52 lbs). He preferred it over the others I was looking at (Vivo, ProBooster, PW-SG) and sat well in it when we were stationary, but when we took it for a drive I noticed he seemed to lean forward (the strap was still on his shoulder, but his...

    who has most recent DOMs for Monterey, Vivo?

    I just got one of each from Diapers.com but the Vivo is 7/10 and the Monterey is 10/10. Unless I get a great price, I want newer seats. They are checking to see if they even have newer seats, but wondering where else I can reliably order a recent one? thank you!

    volvo and boster followup

    I've been trying to find a booster seat that will work in a 1999 Volvo V70, but it's been very difficult because the headrests push most seats forward and they are not removable. I've tried a PW-SG a TB, a ProBooster, and a Compass B570 and they do not work. Sunshine Kids allows a gap as long...

    saying goodbye to expired RA :(

    I LOVED this seat.....but its expiring in July and we dont fit it anymore anyway, so I guess it's got to go. It breaks my heart - the seat still feels more solid than many I see out there. I really wish I could give it to our local family shelter but I imagine that is strictly not ok. Is...

    tacoma xcab booster ?

    Hi We need a booster seat for occasional use in my husband's 2001 Tacoma (xcab). Is it ok to put a booster on the back jump seat? They are forward facing, not side facing, but they are just those drop down platforms. Also, is it ok to put a booster in the front seat, with the airbag off? Is...

    just curious how pink the pink monterey is? ds wants one, and even though i dont think it's going to work four us, i'm going to order it and see. i never pegged him for a pink guy, and i'm surprised but fine that he is (pink was never a fave of mine - or his for that matter), but i am a...
