    Scenera must use level line for older kids as well, right?

    The Cosco Scenera cannot be installed more upright than the level line being level with the ground, right? I'm super disappointed, I heard many many parents say this car seat fit in the Ford Transit back rows and didn't even stop to think that somewhere in the back of my mind I knew from my CPST...

    How to measure for overhang on Keyfit base?

    May be a dumb question...but I've never faced an overhang issue before lol. Keyfit 30 base....when I measure for overhang, do I measure the length of the entire base, including up by the lockoffs, just the base of the seat that is wide plus the angle adjuster part (basically everything that...

    Keyfit 30 ZIP cover on regular Keyfit 30?

    Would a Keyfit 30 ZIP cover fit on a regular Keyfit 30? Drooling over that zip on/off boot since baby is due in February in our harsh climate...but can't justify the price. I found a killer deal on a Keyfit 30, IF (and not even sure its possible) I found a Keyfit 30 ZIP cover, would it fit the...

    I thought I wanted the NextFit zip...

    Newly pregnant, and I thought I wanted the NextFit Zip... my youngest child is 5, and I was super bummed that I couldn't justify $300 for less than 6 months of RFing when the original NextFit came out. But playing around with the NextFit at BRU today, I stumbled across the Graco Extend2Fit --...

    RF in chicco Nextfit at highest headrest setting

    I don't see anything in the manual against it, so I'm assuming RF in the Nextfit is OK with the headrest in the highest position. .. (child still has more than 1" of space above her head in the headrest with it in highest position and meets height/weight requirements of RF) However when we...

    FF Car seat for a 2007 suburban

    My sister in law just bought a 2007 Suburban -- every.single.seat has a buckle forward of the bight by about 3". I've tried every position and cannot get a Nautilus installed tightly, and we need to get 2 installed in this vehicle, if at all possible. The vehicle seats will not lean back...

    Keep it or trash it?

    Took car seats out of my van for the first time in a month or so...when I pulled my 2 year old's TrueFit out, liquid poured out of the bottom, and I realized it was old pee... :eek: I don't remember anytime recently that she had an accident in her car seat, so I have absolutely no idea how long...

    2 year unbuckling..recommendations to avoid move to FF?

    I've reached a dilemma...my 2 year old has started unbuckling herself in the car, and I'm not sure what the best course of action is as consistant discipline is not doing the trick. She's only 25 months old, so I REALLY don't want to turn her FF yet...I RF my kids to at least 3-4 years old...

    Cannot put kids in car seats at babies r us?

    I have a friend who's car seat shopping and was told the other day that she wasn't allowed to sit her child in the seat, even if she sat it on the ground...employee wouldn't even let her try the child in the seat while she was trying it in her car. Is this a new policy? Last time I shopped for...

    Evenflo Symphony DLX All-in-One?

    Anyone have one or seen one? Are they a new seat? My sister is asking about one, and I'm hesitant to recommend one since usually all-in-ones are not a good idea...but maybe this one is better? http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=11468535&cp=&parentPage=search

    Who goes in front?

    Tomorrow I have to transport 7 kids in my Sienna...so someone will have to go in front. Last time I did this, all but my oldest were rear facing, so it was a no-brainer, he was the only one that could go in the front. Now I have my 3.5 year old FF, so not sure who to put in front... 3.5 year...

    ISO: TrueFit Cover

    I'm in need of a TrueFit cover (C650 model...the "regular" model) due to the washing machine killing the padding in the headrest portion of our beloved Sporty Blue :( I'd :love: to find another Sporty Blue...but guessing that's not going to happen. So, I'm open to about anything, but can't...

    Any hope for my TF headrest cover?

    DD puked on the TF the other day, so hubby washed it...its been washed many times before without incident -- however, when it came out this time, the padding in the headrest cover was all bunched up, almost in a ball. I tried and tried to get it straightened out and it wasn't going anywhere...

    Thin fleece recommendation for noob?

    Just realized...since the noob will be in a CCO from the start and will be born in the middle of winter, probably should find a thin car-seat safe fleece for her :o I LOVE the fleece part of the Childrens Place 3-in-1 jackets for my older kids...but I think it'd be too thick for a noob under a...
