    Booster for long-torso 9 year old

    Hi all, been forever since I've been around and I've let my CPST certification expire, but my last kiddo is giving me fits carseat wise so I am hoping you all can offer some advice/suggestions. 20+ years of carseats and there's always something, right?!? My youngest is 9 years old, 57" and 49...

    Need some advice on seats for 3yo

    Struggling making seat decisions for my youngest, and I knew just where to come for the voice of reason! DS 3 years old, 34 pounds and 41", currently rf in a True Fit and a Radian RXT. DH just got a new car, and since the TrueFit only rf to 35 pounds, my initial plan was to turn him and put...

    Bugaboo Frog, should I get it?

    I've been hunting for a parent-facing stroller. That's really my biggest criteria. DH and I are both tall, so taller handles are important as well. I am NOT looking for the last stroller I'll ever buy, as I have resigned myself that he'll pretty much outgrow anything that switches facing by 2...

    Been a long time! Convertible for LOOONG torso?

    I joined CSO eons ago for my long torso'd girls, ultimately became a CPST, and once they got past booster age and my local fire department stopped hosting volunteer techs, eventually drifted away from here and carseat news in general. Until, surprise!, a baby boy has joined our tall family...

    Need a second opinion on booster fit (w/ pics)

    I need a second opinion, keep going back and forth :o. A is about 70 pounds and 4'10". She rides in a Monterey in our van, and no issues there, but my car is becoming an issue. She was in a Recaro Start in there, and while the fit was great, it was getting uncomfortable for her and she asked...

    In Search Of Have Red Monetery cover, swap for plush?

    Well, my fears are validated, dd1 loved the Monterey and loves the color red, but hates the red Monterey cover because it's mesh and not the plush microsuede that the pink is. So....anyone want to swap?!?! :whistle: Color is irrelevant, as long as it's the plush microsuede.

    Question 411 on Red Monterey...mesh?

    I tried a search but, as usual, it's not my friend :rolleyes: So, the red Monterey. There are two styles (old and new), but both are mesh? Ie. the red has never been in plush, correct? But the mesh did change between revisions of the seat? Anyone know when that change occurred, and what the...

    Question Booster or Adult...howmuch recline while vehicle is in motion?

    Title pretty much says it all... how much recline is safe on a vehicle seat while the vehicle is in motion? Obviously flat is out :) But, what amount is permissable without risking submarining?

    Question Remind me again, difference between Olli and Ozzi?

    Why do kids grow when you take them out of seats?!? DD1 was having a heck of a time buckling in her Regent with her cast, so I took it out of the van and got the spare Parkway from Grandma's for her. Considering she's 8, 60 pounds, and 4'5" or so, not a great tradgey. Two weeks later she's...

    Question Which boosters have the lowest profile?

    Got to thinking about this over the weekend....which boosters on the market, or ever really, have the lowest profile to the vehicle seat. Ie. which ones sit the lowest and raise the child the least? I'm thinking maybe the Evenflo green and tan one they give out at seat checks...what is it, the...

    FINALLY! Sounds like the feds are after Ohio...

    http://www.daytondailynews.com/n/content/gen/ap/OH_Child_Safety_Seats.html It sounds like they are really pushing for Ohio and the other states that are so far behind in CPS to come up to snuff. Where's the party icon?!?!?!? This has been needed for SO long....

    Vent UGH, 15 passenger van fiasco rears its ugle head again..

    Daycare quit using them (yeah!), then the girls went to Summer Camp where they used big charter buses for field trips. Then there was school (K-1 building) which of course used school buses, and then to after care which was on-site, so no transportation needs. When dh lost his job, they just...

    How does the Monterey backless compare to the Cleck Olli?

    Just idle curiosity really, but since both are latchable backless boosters, I wondered how they compared. I know several people have raved about the Olli. Also, what's the latest feeling on the Monterey? Worth it? Still having issues with the width not staying set? Other issues?
