    Anyone else getting multiple notifications for the same post?

    I'm on my iPad mini-latest ios version. Not using the app. The display looks odd, and I am having a hard time replying to posts (there's no reply button). Today I have received multiple email notifications on posts. The last one I have received 4 notifications almost exactly an hour apart. I'm...

    I get to help pick our an infant seat! LOL.

    My friend is due in February/March with her first child and most likely only child. She said last night that she and her DH were overwhelmed by the whole car seat and stroller thing. I told her that I didn't know anything about strollers(that market has exploded since I had a baby in the...

    Pondering new boosters for the boys.

    E. is 9 (will be 10 in Dec), and currently is in an old-style PW, which he loves dearly and doesn't want to give up. He still has room in it(about an inch or so), and it is as tall as it will go. He's tall and lanky--long legs and a narrow build. 56.5" tall, and about 68 lbs. I. is 6, and is now...

    ISO: old style Parkway--boy/neutral cover

    I have a GN that I thought would be our last seat, but it just doesn't fit well in my car in booster mode. I. has a really hard time buckling it. *sigh* He does well with our FP booster, but I want something a bit more substantial, and he does well when I have tried him in E.'s parkway. I tried...

    unusual tether anchor set-up--honda Ridgeline.

    Negotiated my '10 Honda ridgeline purchase yesterday, and finally got to play with seats in it. E. is in a Parkway, no worries there. I decided to move I. to booster mode in the GN, but thought I'd like to use LATCH with it. Popped open the top cover where I assume the TA is, and it's this odd...

    Honda Ridgeline owners? Love to hear the good,bad and ugly.

    I am toying with getting a Ridgeline later this year--still in research mode now. Car seat compatibility is not really an issue anymore--I have one in a booster and one just about to outgrow the harness on a Nautilus. No other kiddos, and none coming along. Reliability is a BIG deal. I am...

    FFS-Used Denim MA cover and belly pad set.

    SOLD! This has been in a box now for a while. In used condition. Elastic is good. Washed in Charlies a few months ago and hung to dry. Seat expired in August, so it's 6 years old or so? I just want to get rid of it. Please add paypal fees. If interested, let me know and I will try to calculate...

    WTB Singapore Math series level 2B and/or 3A.

    This is probably a long shot, but I thought I'd post anyway. I want to use Singapore Math this year with E. He is falling right between 2B and 3A. 2B will not take us long to go through--more of getting him acquainted with the Singapore methods. If anyone has either of these that they no longer...

    GAH! I had read about the difficulty with the Monterey's LATCH system, and I have experienced it now. I can't get this

    blasted seat out of my car!! 25 sweaty minutes later, and it is still in there. I really, really wish I had been able to try this one out first. The car is a volvo v70, and I don't really consider the anchors to be overly deep--I haven't had a problem with any other seat that I have put in...

    Anyone with a new Nautilus harness having issues with twisting?

    Arrgh. We loosen and tighten each time, and I. is prone to loosen too much, so I know that contributes to the problem--we're working on it. The harness twists below the buckle tong on the left side every.single.time. The first time it happened it had twisted so badly that I had to take the...

    Installed my new Monterey the other day...it's a beast!

    LOL. It's one heavy seat, and somewhat difficult to get LATCHed. I don't see myself moving it around much. E. loves it, but is still jealous of I.'s cupholders on the Nautilus. :rolleyes: I am not sure how much more I will be able to raise the headrest in my car though. The side of the headwings...

    Any interest in the old style Go Go kidz?

    I say old style because I am pretty sure they are different now. This one is to be used with a Britax Marathon. I can post pics later if requested. It was used several times, and we certainly loved it! I have a new wheel/handle assembly that they sent to us because the old one was close to...

    Any interest in a Britax Monarch cover? EUC.

    SOLDIt is the red cover--can't remember the name. Seat is crashed, cover is fine.

    Need a new booster to replace the Monarch.

    So, I have some time, as we don't have another car yet, and won't until DH can drive again. I had the Monarch in that car for E. The parkway is in my car. I haven't been paying attention to the new boosters coming out, as we were set for a while. E. is about 56 lbs. and had a fair amount of room...

    Denim MA cover...good for back up cover.

    I'm dismantling the MA(DOM April '03) and selling the cover. $25 OBOThis is the 100% cotton denim cover. It has been well loved and used. It has fading on the arms and sides, as well as the seat area, some of which is staining I believe. The elastic is in very good condition, and there is a bit...

    Nautilus install help--volvo v70!

    Grrr...you would think that I should be able to do this by now, as many seats as I have installed. I am trying to install a Nautilus outboard in a '04 v70r with the seatbelt. Ian is right around 45-46 lbs., and I need to make sure that it will install with the belt before I decide to keep the...

    Not that I need, want or am getting a new car, but I was bored and looked at the '09 Pilot...

    online. I saw an ad in some magazine. Wowser, it looks cool. It's apparently a bit wider, and the reviews that I read said 3 carseats across in the second row shouldn't be a problem, but of course you'd have to try it out. 4 sets of lower anchors, and 6 top tethers! (Because we all know that is...

    ISO Skip Hop Geo Jacks crib sheet...fair to good condition

    That is the crib set that my sister has picked out--it was on clearance at BBRUS. I am making cushions for the glider rocker that she found at a consignment store, and I was thinking about cutting up the sheet to use as piping. It's a long shot, I know, but if anyone has one that they want to...

    Compass Tru Fit

    Or True Fit---Can't ever remember! So I searched back through and found a top harness height of 18". That works out to be about an inch or so taller than the MA, correct? Do you think that a kid would actually have more room in it since it doesn't have a base and is so deep? Just wondering if...

    New pics--3 across in Volvo V70

    So, my sister and I are taking my 2 boys and my niece to ride the "Polar Express" tomorrow. It's about a 2.5 hour drive, so I decided to play around once again with my 3 seats. This time I tried the FPSVD in the center with the back--I've never tried it before. DS is *just * about the outgrow...
