    CARES harness for airplanes - really as good as a carseat?

    There is something new on the market for flying, CARES harnesses. Anybody know anything about this one? www.kidsflysafe.com They say they are FAA-approved, etc. etc. But I've heard that before about things that weren't really allowed. Any ideas where to find out from an outside source how safe...

    What can you tether to in a car besides an official carseat tether anchor?

    Another tether question. Don't jump on me if this is a bad idea! Is it safe to tether a carseat to an anchor for latching in movable seats in a minivan? We have a 2002 Dodge Caravan with a bench seat for three, but only one anchor bolt for tethering carseats. I am having difficulty getting...

    Tethering a Regent to the seat next to it

    I seem to remember reading in a thread that it is okay to tether a Britax Regent diagonally, that is, to a tether bolt for the seat next to it. Does this sound right? We have a bench seat with shoulder belts on the outside and a lap belt only in the middle, but (oddly, I think) only one tether...

    The safest place for children and adults in a car with no seatbelts

    So you're in a car with no seatbelts at all. (Picture a small to midsized four-door sedan.) Given that the adults can't strap in and the children are not going to be in carseats, where to you put people to make them as safe as possible? See, I have always worried about taking taxis that have...

    What are the challenges of installing the Radian?

    I am about to travel for the first time with our Radian. The installation at home (FF) seemed really straight-forward, but I have heard it can be a challenge in some cars. I will be putting it in several (in addition to the planes), so what should I be looking for as problems? What are the...

    Radian for travel: Fit on plane and in cars

    All the threads about air travel seem to mention Radians (thank you, Wendy!). I am curious about two things: 1) Does the seat actually allow tray tables to fold all the way down on planes or just partway. Pics look like partway and I'm curious if you could, say, put a drink on it. 2) One of...

    Three across: Boulevard-Regent-Boulevard? Regent-Boulevard-Regent?

    Does anyone have experience with how these two seats fit together? Do the Regent arms tuck under the high Boulevard ones the way I think they would? (Like under the sides of a Roundabout.) Differences between forward and rear-facing the Boulevard? Anyone know the base width on the Boulevard as...

    Harness and SIP after 40 lbs.

    So is there any option for a harness and extra side impact protection once a child reached 40 lbs.? I've looked at so many options my head hurts, but I think it comes down to this. Thanks.

    Regent vs Boulevard for three-year-old

    I have a five-year-old in a Regent and a new baby on the way who I am fairly certain we will buy a Boulevard for. I am trying to decide what to get for my nearly three-year-old. I am most inclined towards either a Regent or Boulevard for him as well. He weighs 30 lbs. so he has lots of time in a...
