    Bubble Bum question...

    I am traveling with my two sons next week by plane. I planned on bringing a LB turbobooster for my 7 yr old and I purchased a Bubble Bum thinking it would work for my 11 yr old (he just turned 11). He does not five step in all vehicles. However, now that I have opened the Bubble Bum and read...

    WWYD? Nautilus in center or keep it outboard?

    I am putting this here since it isn't really a technical installation question per se. DS#2 is going away with DH this weekend and I am reinstalling his Nautilus in DH's truck (Ford F150 CrewCab...so full backseat). DS#2 has been riding in his Jane Booster the last month or so in the truck but...

    Narrowest (width wise) lowback booster?

    I am sure this has been asked before. I did try to search a bit before posting. Anyway, what is the narrowest low back booster. I perused the spreadsheets on boosters. I have a Graco LB for DS#1 but I am looking for something narrower. Maybe the Harmony Lite Rider?

    Moved: Our RSTV arrived! Lots of Pics!

    I tried DS#2 out in it today when I picked him up from school. He was excited to give it a go. Some observations and concerns: He said he felt like he was tipping side to side. I didn't use the tether since I was using the lap/shoulder belt...maybe that would help with the tipping? The tether...

    Yet another RSTV question...

    Those of you who have used the RSTV do you find that your child's legs sort of just stick out in front of them? I am trying to picture my son in the vest and I don't imagine that his legs will even reach to bend at the knee at the edge of the vehicle seat? When he is in his Nautilus or a HBB...

    Just for fun: A booster "gathering" at my house (pic)

    I was getting some measurements today for MomtoEliEm's spreadsheets and since I had some of my boosters together, I got the rest of them out as well. It was a little booster seat party:D. I actually have two Nautili (is that the plural of Nautilus?) that could have been converted to booster...

    Still trying to solve my travel dilemma...

    So, we are traveling to Florida soon and DS#2 will be almost 5 1/2. He is a pretty good size kid and I have been tossing the idea around about just taking a HBB for him for the rental car in Florida and letting him ride on the plane without a seat. Last year at this same time he rode in his...

    Southwest Airlines and carseats...

    I have never flown Southwest before and it may be our only option for our trip to Florida (Gulf Coast) in a couple months. Are they a pain to deal with when using a carseat on the plane as far as their boarding process goes? We generally book our seats 2 in front of 2...so window and middle...

    LB Booster for short but "big" 9 year old????

    LB Booster for short but "big" 9 year old???? Need more help!! So I have found myself in the position of helping a relative of DH's transport her son home from school several days per week. I have driven him on a few other occasions and I know he really doesn't fit well in just the seatbelt...

    Parkway SG question...

    Does anyone know if the new Parkway would fit in a Compass B540 travel bag? I know that the Parkway converts to a lowback so I was wondering if the 2 pieces stacked would be similar in size to a folded Compass booster? Also, does the back of the Parkway detach and attach easily? My youngest...

    Carseat and 1973 Triumph TR6

    I don't even know if this is where I should post this question but here goes... My Dh is apparently having the beginnings of his mid-life crisis :rolleyes: and wants to buy an old convertible. He is currently looking at a 1973 Triumph TR6. He thinks it will be fun for him and I to go on...

    Question Low Back Booster...

    Would you let your 8 1/2 year old ride in a LBB in other people's cars? I am having trouble deciding what I want to do. My oldest ds (stats are in my siggy) occasionally rides with others and I always put one of his HBB in the vehicle he will be riding in however sometimes it makes it...

    Jane Indy Booster expiration ?

    Does any one know how many years the Jane Indy HBB is good for? I found a place to get one but they are DOM 2007. I had asked the seller and they checked with JaneUSA and received the answer of the eps foam being good for 12 years, which really doesn't answer the question about expiration. If...

    Help...need quick answer to HBB in Honda CRV question

    My son and Dh are riding with friends today (about 2 1/2 hr ride) and it is quite snowy here in MA today. Our friends have a Honda CRV (2008) I believe. They said it has the side airbags...does Honda allow a HBB next to the side airbags? We have a Compass and a Parkway. He prefers the...

    2005 Boulevard in Nissan Pathfinder?

    I am giving my 2005 Boulevard to a friend to use for her youngest son...he is 8 months old. She has 2 other sons in HBB's. We will be installing it in her vehicle which is a Pathfinder, I am pretty sure. It has a 3rd row seating but we are going to try to put all three seats in the same row...

    SafeGuard Go Hybrid Booster ?

    I had never seen this seat until today when I looked it up. Can someone tell me a little more about it? I just bought a 2nd Nautilus for ds#2 but he is on the top slot in that seat (still has room to grow). What is intriguing me about this seat is it says it is lightweight and I am thinking...

    Nautilus on Southwest? Possible vacation booster use for 4 1/2 yr old?

    Yet another question...when I measure the Nautilus I get about 15" for the plastic base width, about 17" for the cushy part of the seat and a smidge over 19" from arm rest to arm rest. Are the arm rests/cupholder going to make it difficult to fit on the seat (17" on Southwest) even with the...

    Nautilus harness height and movement after installation ?'s

    I recently installed my younger son's new Nautilus in my car (Volvo XC70) and while it feels like a tight installation when I try to move it at the belt path, it doesn't seem as tight and wants to move at the front of the carseat, like a sliding motion, in both side to side and forward...

    New Compass Booster?

    Does anyone know if the new Compass booster that is supposed to be out soon (I think it isn't actually Compass anymore?) will be taller then the B510 and a couple others. I have the B500 for my son and I love that it folds for travelling but would like it even more if it adjusted to a taller...

    My new Nautilus came...a couple ?'s

    I ordered my son's new Nautilus last Tuesday from Amazon and it actually came Friday (that was with the free super saver shipping too!) but I was out of town so I just finally got a chance to open it up, and install it in my car (2004 Volvo XC70) and I have a couple of questions.... 1. I have...
