    Question Finally getting a Honda Odyssey!?

    I have been here in the past, asking about vans. :) We totaled our '99 Ford Windstar in 2006, then bought another '99 Ford Windstar, and then last year bought a 2004 Ford Freestar. I wanted a Honda Odyssey, but they were out of our price range. There is a 2005 Honda Ody for sale about a block...

    Please check dd in Evenflo vs Graco booster

    First is Graco Turbobooster, second is Evenflo BigKid. I'm most concerned about placement of the top belt between her shoulders and neck. Both seats kept the bottom part of the belt where it should be. I feel as though the best fit is with the Graco, but what about the BigKid? Acceptable...

    Evenflo Big Kid booster

    I went to WM tonight to get the Graco HBBs and they were out of all the boyish prints. What do you think of these boosters? The stats seemed the same as the Graco when reading the box. I'm going to keep them in the box until I hear from you!

    Booster for 39# 7yo?

    Would you put your 7-year-old who weighs 39 pounds in a booster for full time use? She uses her GTB in DH's truck on occasion. Otherwise she uses a Regent, which cannot go in our 3rd row seat due to the tether placement. I was hoping to use GTB full-time for my 2 oldest kids now, but she's 39...

    Question Help with 2 booster in 3rd row so that the middle seat is accessible as well!

    I am looking at the spreadsheet, but then read that someone said actual width does not always mean it will be the best for room. I just purchased a 2004 Ford Freestar. Currently I have 2 Graco Turboboosters in the back and it works, but they aren't the most comfy seats for us to use in our...

    Going to sell 2 Regents

    I've never sold a carseat before. These are Regents, so I cannot imagine it would be cost effective to ship these, as if I'd even find a box big enough! Their DOM is 2006 (of course I would check before listing) so they have roughly 1-2 years of use left in them. I'd basically like to know...

    When are you going to let him sit without a carseat?!

    Yeah, I get it. My son will be 9 in December, and he's in a Britax Regent. He fits just fine, though I do need to weigh him soon. No way that he's over 65 pounds, though. He isn't complaining at all. I know he looks forward to the day when he can sit with nothing, but he knows that he's not...

    Help with finding stats on 2003-2005 minivans!

    I plan to do a search in a bit, but here's the issue: We plan to replace our '99 Ford Windstar for something a little newer and with less miles. Looking at minivans in the 2003-2005 timeframe. We have 4 in seats - 2 Regents, 1 Radian, and 1 Boulevard. Currently we don't use LATCH because it...

    Update and more advice needed!

    So, my dear husband bought his truck. It's a 2001 Dodge Ram with the suicide doors. Had I been along, I would have begged him to look at the other Dodge truck we were looking at, but with the 4 regular doors ... but I wasn't with him, and he liked this truck. So ... it is true that I could...

    Question Quick! Going to buy a new truck today ...

    2001 Dodge Ram 1500. Not the 4 regular doors, the kind with 4 doors (suicide, I thought I heard them called, though I don't know why!). I am wanting to buy some seats for my children. Ages and what they use are below in my signature. I am unsure of their current height (though I will check...

    Question My radian came! Installation help, please!

    Hello! This is my first non-Britax seat in a long time! It's nice, but different! I have installed it, and I took pictures for you to see. One thing that I think is a problem is that the belt buckle is in the belt path. I looked in the manual and don't see anything talking about this, but I...

    Question Quick help please! Installing Scenera and Graco Booster in SIL's car ...

    My SIL is taking my two oldest somewhere tomorrow and then I am picking them up afterwards. We have a Scenera to use for Alayna and a Graco Booster (is it the Turbo Booster? The $40ish one at Walmart) for Aaron. SIL's car is a 1997 Dodge Stratus. No tether anchors that I can see. I am not...

    Radian question!

    I'm set on getting a Radian ... but wanted to know if the Radian80 is the same width/size as the "regular" Radian? I am buying the Radian because of it's skinny size but if the Radian80 is just as skinny, I may buy that so that my daughter can be in it for much longer. Thought I'd add that...

    Why a short belt path for the Regent?

    I have 2 Regents and two children for them (or do I have the seats for the children?). Anyway ... one is 32 lbs and has the long belt path install. Rock solid. But I canNOT get the short belt path to work for the other seat for the older child - approx. 50 lbs. The long belt path seems so...

    What seats are skinny?

    I was just curious - I have 2 Regents and they nearly comsume the back of the 3rd row bench seat in our van. I'm not going to replace them but there may come a day when I have to move them to the middle to accomodate another carseat (so I can have 3 across). We also have a Blvd and a SnugRide...
