    Help for a friend

    I was reading some updates from a friend on her son today (2 yrs old) and was shocked to see she had posted a pic of him in his "big boy booster". I thought at first, I must be mistaken, but looking closely and reading the update, I saw that he was in a high back booster. He's only 2, and I...

    What do you suggest?

    My van was stolen with my car seats. So for now, until we can either recover the van or get a new one, I have to figure something out for my moms van. We had gotten new seats for her van, but ended up returning them because we could not for the life of us get a good install. Never got around...

    Do you think these seats will fit?

    my dad has a 1994 (I think) Plymouth Breeze. I have a RF EFTA and a FF GN that need to be installed side by side in his car (my oldest has to ride outboard because of no shoulder belt in the center). The oldest normally rides in a booster but in my dads car, it seems the seat belt fits better...

    David is 7 yrs, 77 lbs and 4'10" now (yes, he is a VERY tall kid). Until recently he's been excellent in his booster and we have had no issues. But DH and I noticed that just these past 2 weeks he's more fidgety and moving more in his seat, and not staying seated the way he KNOWS he should...

    My mom was in an accident last night (kids were not in the car). It was a 3 car collision. The rear car was totaled, the middle car and my moms car seem to be in fairly good shape, but my mom was taken to the hospital with back and neck pain. She's fine. However, she had seats for my kids in...

    Son osteopenic

    My 1 yr old son is osteopenic. I still have him rearfacing and due to the osteopenia I want to keep him rearfacing as long as physically possible. DH doesn't agree but he can just deal with it, he's not the one who knows all the medical stuff with DS. I've heard there is a car seat in sweden...

    Need info on benefits of RF, Harnessing, and boostering

    DH is at it again and being a royal pain in my side about carseats. He's trying to move DS2 (barely 1 yr) FF and I'm holding my ground. He also things DD (3-1/2) should just be in a booster and DS1 (7) should just go into the adult belt because he "fits" in 1 seat in the van. And not only...

    Need to buy infant seat

    I'm going to start babysitting a neighbors baby next week when she goes back to work. The baby will be 6 weeks old. Mom doesn't have a car and the only seat they have for baby is kept in grandmas car. Because we are often out and about (and mom knows this) we would like to get a seat for her...

    3 across in Chevy Astro

    OK, now that i know what booster I have to get for DS, I need to figure out a 3 across solution. I need to fit all 3 of my kids in seats in the 3rd row of a 91 chevy astro. I know I need to sue locking clips and am fine with that. We ONLY have the 3rd row available to us, the 2nd row was...

    Another booster question

    I posted last week about DS1 and my moms van. He's 7 yrs old and really tall. I tired him in the Frontier yesterday and his shoulders are about 1/4 inch above the shoulder belt adjuster so I believe that means he can't use that as a HBB. But her van has no headrests on the back bench. So now...

    DD unbuckled her harness HELP

    Yesterday on the freeway in the dark I hear DD start saying something and it sounded like buckle. I immediately found a safe place to stop and went back and she had unbuckled the crotch buckle on her GN. I have explained to her many times that its dangerous, but she really doesn't care. She...

    Question WWYD booster or adult belt

    I've had DS (7) in a booster. But a little bit ago his booster was buckled into a family members vehicle when they totaled their car. He has passed the 5 step in my van so I had him in an adult belt while waiting for my check so I could get him a new seat, and I have avoided going anyhere I...

    Booster question

    How do i know if a child had outgrown a High Back Booster? I WANT DS in a high back booster, but I think he may be too tall. I tried some seats in my van this week and his shoulders are ABOVE all the Belt positioning guides in the seats I could get my hands on. I would assume that his...

    Need carseats for infrequent use

    OK, my mom is buying seats for her van (93 Chevy Astro) for emergency transport of my kids. She wants to know what seats I WANT the kids in if she has to put them in her van. All 3 would have to be in the rear seat since her van is retrofitted for an electric wheelchair to be "locked" where...

    good booster for 6 yr old

    I need a new booster for my 6 yr old. We bought it 4-1/2 yrs ago when we were transporting my neice around and we just eventually put him in it. But I really think he would be better off in a different booster. He's really tall (57") and I'm not sure his torso height but for camparison...
