    Boosters to use while Travelling in Australia

    Hi all, We're going to be travelling to Australia next year for a month. We will only be travelling by car for a small portion of it and the rest of the time we'll be essentially backpacking around and mostly using public transit. It appears that the Bubblebum is illegal in Australia from...

    latchable booster in Canada

    I haven't been on here in ages but DD is outgrowing the Radian (already too small) and classic Marathons so I need to buy a booster ASAP. She'll be 6 in September, tall and average/thin build. I'm not concerned at all about her sitting properly - she's my compliant one ;) I'd post height and...

    TT Anchors in older trucks

    I'm asking this for a friend. We're in Canada. He's looking to buy an old truck for very occasional use. He has 2 petite kids aged 3 & 5 that are a long ways off of the 40lbs minimum for boostering here. All FF seats in Canada have to be top tethered. Does anyone have an idea of what...

    seat recommendation

    I haven't been shopping for a while so I wanted to confirm before I pass on some recommendations to a friend. Kid is just over 3, ~41lbs and tall (sorry don't have specific height but dad is ~6'4" and mom is tall as well). He's currently FF in a AOE which I think only harnesses to 40lbs and...

    booster fun

    So DS (just turned 6) is just outgrowing the Marathon in DH's 2007 Honda Accord (he has a bit to go in my car because the seat is more upright) so I'm booster shopping. I need it to LATCH - DH doesn't want to deal with buckling it back up after drop off. I believe that narrows it down to...

    another mini-mini van option from GM (in Canada only)

    Not that I'm going to give up my beloved Mazda 5 anytime soon but.... http://www.theglobeandmail.com/globe-drive/new-cars/reviews/orlando-blooms-gm-jumps-into-mini-minivan-market/article2261958/ Saw one on my way home tonight. Here's hoping they put top tethers in the 3rd row so it is usable...

    U.S. Seats & Canadian Border

    A friend is traveling to the States next year. He doesn't want to use the car seats on the plane (I've explained that checking seats is bad and they did take them on board once but it was a bad experience and they refuse do it again). He asked about renting seats and I explained while that is...

    questions...

    I was at a seat check on the weekend and have a few questions - can you use a pool noodle AND the foot on the base in a SnugRide32 or 35? - are you allowed to pop the button off on a seatbelt? (it was interfering with a lock off) (I thought yes but all of the much more experienced techs...

    Question Latchable HBB?

    From what I can tell the Monterey and the Frontier in booster mode can both be latched, is that right? What about the Nautilus in booster mode? Any other HBB that should be considered? Just doing some digging for a friend and my kids are little so I'm completely clueless when it comes to...

    Securing Cargo in a Minivan?

    We just bought a Mazda 5. Where would I shop (in Canada) to find something to secure everything in the back so it won't fly around in an accident? We did get a cargo net with it but I suspect it will only be good for smaller/lighter items. I'm looking for something larger and more heavy duty...

    Britax Marathon Install Questions

    I finally got a Marathon so I can turn DS back RF again. DS is 23 months, 35" (all legs) and 27lbs. It might not last long RF but we have another one on the way that will use also use it so we'll definitely get our money's worth. I installed it in my 99 Acura EL last night (it's the same as...
