    LATCH to secure GN HBB

    Is it ok to do this? A little sad, 2 weeks shy of her 6th b-day, one of my twin dds has reached the limits of the GN in 5 PT mode. Was hoping to get to the end of the school year. She is 45" and 46#. Oh we'll, it was a good three year run harnessed in the Nauti!

    Follow up re: TLSO scoliosis brace and carseat

    I posted a few weeks back about my 4 1/2 dd and bracing for scoliosis. Any one have any experience with a TLSO or "Boston-type" brace? (its molded to her body - not metal.) DDs arrives in about 2 weeks. I have concerns about whether her GN will be OK. We also use the Evenflo Chase as her...

    Need advice on which seat for a preschooler in a school bus

    Hi - posted a while back about my 3 y/o dd going to a public preschool via bus with "curb to curb" transportation. I assumed the SD would have buses with integrated seats of some sort; I was mistaken. You need to provide your own seat and the bus driver installs/uninstalls daily. Clearly not...

    Question on Nauti headrest position in harness mode

    So, the red belt guides are supposed to be at or barely just above the harness slots being used, right? The headrest has this scallop thing in the middle of the headrest (scoops up to clear the harness slot, dips down then scoops up again, does that make sense?) that seems to hit each of my...

    Little question about our new Nautis

    I just unpacked one of two, on sale Nauti (from Target for $140 - free shipping and 5/09 DOM, not bad, eh?). So far I like the Nauti, except wish it has the nice Britax "lobster claw" LATCH connectors. Anyway, onto my question - the twins are asleep and I am trying to figure out if I...
