    High back booster for Highlander third row? Added questions.

    My younger son is in a frontier 65 converted to a high back booster. We just bought a 2008 Toyota highlander, and we find that the booster is too tall to fit in the back (third row) seat. It's also way too heavy to easily get in and out of there. Does anyone have a HBB that works well in the...

    Explain five step seat belt test?

    This is for the future, not now. I have an 8 year old riding in a nbb booster who probably will be in one for at least a couple more years despite the fact that most of his friends don't use them. I've told him he needs to be four foot nine, but I'm wondering if that is just an average height...

    Booster or no booster in summer camp van?

    I'm thinking ahead to this summer. My 8 year old son goes to the same camp every year where they travel in a 15 person full size van. (not a school bus, a regular consumer van) The camp rents the van. Last summer the van they had did not have head supports on the seats...the seats were...

    Traveling with 4 yr old and 8 yr old--which seat to bring?

    We are flying from the east coast to California in April with a change of planes midway. When we planned this trip a year ago, we thought we'd put both kids on the plane without seats and be picked up at the airport with a high back booster and low back booster. My four year old is FF in a...

    Transporting other kids--booster fit?

    Next week I need to take a friend's four year olds home with me. Both currently ride in booster seats. (I know the recommendation is for a harness still, but that's not my decision, and the ride I'm taking them on is about 5 minutes on quiet back roads) They are big four year olds, about the...

    Booster safty, and teaching a child to latch self

    Am I correct in assuming that a high back booster is only safe if the lap belt is sitting snugly across the child's upper thighs? Or can a lap belt that is left loose with significant slack still work? I'm concerned today after having had my husband help my son into his booster twice today...

    No-rethread FF seats

    I have a 7 year old who is mostly in Britax booster seats with the submarine guard, but can still barely fit in the frontier80 or nautilus harness and occasionally rides that way on long trips, and a 3 year old who is now forward facing and is outgrowing his Britax Roundabout. I need two...

    Help him feel secure in booster or just get a Frontier 85

    Hi all. I posted back in may about my special needs 6 year old who was outgrowing his harnessed car seats. We ended up buying him a Britax booster seat with an anti-submarine clip and working on booster training while he still had a bit of room in the harnessed seats. He finally has gotten to...

    Keeping a six year old harnessed

    Keeping a six year old harnessed-ASD Sorry for two threads at once, but this seemed like such a different issue from my convertible question I thought I should separate it. We've been looking into getting my 6 year old son a booster seat to start booster training in occasional short rides. He...

    No Solution is working. Help.

    I had a previous thread a couple of months ago looking for a convertible seat for my two year old. Solution after solution is not working out for us and I'd appreciate any help. Here is the link to the previous thread though I will try to succinctly state the problem so you don't have to go...

    Buying three new seats, complicated, need recommendations

    I have a 2 year old, and a not quite 6 year old. (will turn 6 in a month). 6 year old has mild autism and so really must be in harnessed seats for most trips. However we are considering buying him a booster to start with booster training and to give him an easy to move seat that he can ride...

    Tall convertible, not a radian?

    Tall convertible, update and GN question? Hi all, I have a carseat conundrum. Long backstory, skip to the last paragraph if you just want the general question. My 40 pound 41 inch four year old (almost five) is outgrowing the Marathon he uses in his dad's car (94 Honda Civic). For my car...

    Is my four month old too small for his carseat?

    Hi all, We switched out our infant bucket for our roundabout for my four month old yesterday because the bucket was driving me insane (graco snugride) and he is a little bit refluxy so the angle on it wasn't so great for him, I thought slightly more upright angle of the roundabout might help...

    Frontier as booster needs latch?

    Hi I'm fairly new to this forum though I've posted a few times as "unregistered". We are currently on a new car search and are considering whether to go with a Mazda 5 a Kia Rondo or just give up on the smaller options and get an Odyssey. (I may post a thread about this too if its ok to post...

    Is it possible and safe to install carseats in the third row seat of a Rav 4? What other smaller SUV's come with a third row option other than the Rav 4 and the Mazda 5?
