    Regent in Honda Pilot-frustrated....

    I am confused.... DD is 39 lbs and in a Regent in my Honda Pilot. According to the Regent you can use LATCH until 48lbs. I can not find in wy Honda manual what the LATCH limits but did see something that listed Honda limits as 40lbs for LATCH and top tether. I don't know if that means all...

    WHy don't school buses have seatbelts?

    I posted this question on another forum, but thought I would ask here since there is so much information here. DD does not go to kindergarten until next year, but a lot of the kids on the block are starting now so she is hearing all about the bus from them. She is terrified at the idea of no...

    Would you get an MA for an almost 3 year old?

    I'm asking this for a friend. She's looking for a new seat for her 33 month old DS who is currently in a RA. He weighs 38 lbs (not sure of height, but know he is not very tall for his age). She is thinking of purchasing a MA for the older one and giving the RA to her younger one...

    Did I read this correctly?????

    My neighbor just got an Eddie Bauer AO and while I am so not a fan of the seat, I helped her install it to the best of my ability after fully reading the manual. Of course I encouraged her to get it insepcted b/c I'm not a certified tech or anything, just one who reads up on all of this. Right...

    Need help with FF Marathon install using LATCH

    I only have RA'a and a Regent and was helping my neighbor install her MA FF using LATCH, so am not completely familiar with it. Her seat prior was not even the slightest bit tight.:( Anyway, I am a bit confused about the LATCH anchors. When installing, the inscribed writing on the anchor...

    Lost the belly pad on RA!

    My DD's belly pad (I think that's what it is called-the pad that surrounds that crotch strap/ buckle) must have come off when I took her out of the seat and got caught in between her legs. I walked into the gym with her after taking her out and when I came back, the pad was gone and nowhere...

    How do people respond to you and your knowledge on CPS?

    I don't post much here, but value all of the info I have read on this site.:) I am curious since there are so many certified and knowledgeable people here about car seats and car seat safety how people respond to your knowledge, particularly IRL. I'm sure reactions from people vary greatly...

    Question about vintage Britax seats?

    I'm curious as to why I can't info a link on Britax's site linking me to seats that have been discontinued.

    Question for car seat techs

    I feel like I am fairly educated about car seat safety in general. At least like 100% more knowledgeable than people I know IRL. The general population seems to know very little. I can't tell you how many times I hear people surprised to learn that their car seat really doesn't harness up to...

    Twisted straps

    I'm hoping you can give me some info. I'm having a little debate with MIL who has a car seat in her car. I think it's a Graco Comfort Sport. Anyway, the straps are so far twisted that it seems there is no turning back. I will NOT let my 4 yr. old DD ride in it and will sooner put my Parkway...

    Sort of s/o on car size and safety

    I was just reading through the post about owners of small cars and I'm looking for some info. I srive a Pilot and DH drives a '98 Nissan Sentra. After experiencing a terrifying accident several years ago, I feel safe in my big old car. Not so much b/c it is big and I think big is better/safer...

    Question about feelings re: extended RFing

    I'm new here, but am grateful to have found this site. And truthfully I am not trying to stir up trouble, I'm just curious if there is anyone else here who is not in huge favor of keeping their child Rfing. Don't get me wrong, I kept DD#1 Rfing until 15 months and will probably keep DD#2 RFing...

    Questions about Britax Roundabout RF installation

    In addition to the Regent I just put in, I moved my 8 month old into the Roundabout. I installed it RF, and will be getting it inspected this week. I do have a few concerns in the interim though. First, I had to wedge rolled up towels under the front of it to create what I thought is a 45...

    Questions about Britax Regent installation

    I just installed my Regent which doesn't even move a millimeter! I have a few questions though. The LACTH anchors are under that recline bar which sort of pushes the bar in an upward postion. For some reason I thought the bar was supposed to be in the crease of the seat. Any advisement...
