    Question 5 Step Test - Pass?

    Does he pass? I'm not sure on where the seatbelt hits his lap. We are going to California (about 20 hour drive) and debating if he should be seat belted or in a booster. We use a Britax Frontier. Technically he is taller than what all the low back boosters say because is (was a few weeks ago...

    Which Britax Parkway SGL Fabric

    My almost 7 year old is going to be in a booster so sister can move up to the Frontier. Which of the Parkway SGL Fabrics are soft? I wish they made the cowmoo but they don't for the latch version and I think the latch would be well worth the money, especially with dh who has a lot of carseat...

    Convertible - I'm out of the loop

    I have been trying to stay away from this site because I have been spending too much on photography gear to want to buy new carseats too. Therefore, I don't know what the best carseat for my niece would be. My gift to my SIL is a convertible seat. My SIL is already nervous about getting seats...

    Insurance Refusing to Pay for Crashed Seat

    Fender Bender in Parking Lot

    This morning at daycare I was backing out and the person behind me backed into the corner of my back bumper. I will need a new bumper. I know what NHTSA says so I think the Frontier is good. My real question is if the Radian XTSL needs to be replaced. I also had a Parkway SG sitting in the...

    Which Infant Carseat?

    My SIL is pregnant and I am making a list of items that she is going to want to have. It has been almost 3 years since I bought our last infant carseat. I'm hoping she has a smaller baby then the rest of us but my kids were 9lbs each and they were on the small side in our family. All ofthe...

    Alpha Omega Elite Question

    I was helping a friend get her kids into their carseats today. The 8 month old is in an Alpha Omega Elite. I think it was probably purchased in 2006. I was shocked to see it laying on it's back. She says that it tells her to have the booster clips parallel with the ground for rearfacing. Is...

    Time to Educate Daycare about Carseats

    I have had issues for years about the daycare van. Older model 15 pass van. The seats on the sides have lap and shoulder belts while the center does not. I don't know how those seatbelts work with boosters for the passenger side. I went through the van and looked at at least one carseat (the...

    Daycare Vent and a ?

    Got in the car this afternoon and my ds was talking about visiting the grandmas and grandpas. I asked him how he got there and he said the daycare van. I was in shock! I had not been told about a field trip. I thought it was clear to everyone in the center that my kids did not go in the van...

    I am so frustrated with the Radian XTSL with my 2009 Sienna. It is the leaning tower of carseat. Well, it finally set off my airbag sign. DD is 30lbs. and 36 inches tall. I know that if you want to recline a carseat, you can roll a towel and put it under the base. I tried to do something...

    Booster for Daycare Van

    I am pondering purchasing a booster for ds for the Daycare van. This would give me all summer to do short trips to get him booster trained. The daycare van is a 15 pass, no headrest, older, with just shoulder belts, no latch. He will be 5 in the fall. I am more then willing to pay for...

    Toyota Sienna vs. Radian -- Help

    Talked to Russ today about the leaning tower of Radian XTSL. We had a debate about if the Radian could touch the back of the front passenger seat. The 2009 manual states, "Child restraint systems installed on the rear seat should not contact the front seatbacks." I am going to email him the...
