    Replacing seat for 3yo

    We are replacing a RF Britax Blvd following a car accident. DS just turned 3 within the last few weeks and weighs about 33 lb. The car is a 2013 Volvo S60. I wasn't planning to turn him FF yet, but I am not sure about the cost of buying a new convertible seat for this car, since DS does not...

    Almost final decision: 2013 Volvo XC60

    I've posted several times in the last few weeks about our search for a second vehicle that will seat our 3 kids (11-yo, soon to be 8-yo in booster, RF 18-month-old). We liked the new Subaru Outbacks you all recommended, but we think we are settled on a used Volvo XC60 (small SUV/crossover). We...

    Subaru Outback vs Forester 2016

    Starting a new thread to ask about these cars We have 3 kids--11, 8 in booster, 18 months erf. We did not have the 2 older kids with us when we saw the Forester, but the salesman said the Outback is 1" wider. Since it's taller and the hump in the rear floor is shorter, it seems less cramped...

    RAV4 opinions

    We are thinking of replacing an 08 Altima. We have 3 kids...ages 11, 7 (booster), and 18 months (RF). We also have a minivan, so this is not our main family vehicle. However it would be nice to have the option to take the whole family in the car, it is extremely tight, if not impossible, in...

    Travel Seat Recommendation

    We are flying with in January with our son who will be 14 months old. I am looking for a second seat that will be great for a 4-hour flight and 2-hour drive in a shuttle van. He is a lightweight (was 20 lb at 1-year appointment) and slightly above average height. I know I have seen Cosco...

    2015 Odyssey seating arrangement

    Hi. I am looking for advice from Odyssey owners. We are thinking of trading in our 2006 Sienna for an Odyssey. There is actually nothing wrong with the Sienna, but I like the improved safety features on the 2015 Odyssey and would love the convenience of power liftgate, etc. Our Sienna is 7...

    Full-time Booster Questions

    My dd is now 7 years old, and I am contemplating letting her make the switch to a booster seat full-time. Until now, her primary seat has been a Britax Regent, and the back-up seat has been a Nautilus. She has also booster trained for short trips in an inexpensive Graco TurboBooster from...

    Safety 1st CA deal at Kohls

    I just ordered a Complete Air 65 LX and thought I'd share. It was the best deal I could locate. Right now, the LX model is $187.99 with free shipping. I used the promo code CC224TWY to take 20% off which made it $151. I also earned $30 in Kohls cash, making the net cost about $121. I did...

    ERFing DS has outgrown TFP

    I haven't shopped for car seats in over a year, so I am not up-to-date on the market. Last year, we got our 18-month-old ds a True Fit Premiere so that he could ERF. At that time, his weight has always been 50-60 percentile, and his height was often over the 75 percentile. Well, he is still...

    What do you think of the Evenflo Symphony?

    Someone justed asked me if the Evenflo Symphony available for $99 on woot is a good seat (http://kids.woot.com/). I've never owned an Evenflo, so I have no idea! It RFs to 35 lbs and FF to only 40 lbs. :thumbsdown: I assume the shells is pretty short too? What are the positive features of...

    True Fit Questions

    Based on the wonderful advice we received here, we recently purchased a TFP for our 18-month-old's primary seat. He is 26 lbs and 32.5" with a long torso. Now I am toying with the idea of getting a secondary seat for our other car (a 2008 Altima). I like the idea of not having to move the...

    TFP in Sienna - please help

    We bought a True Fit Premier for our son for Christmas, and I have several questions about installing it ('06 Sienna captain chair, rear-facing, 26lb 18mo son). First, the tether that holds the LATCH belt seems to be too short. When I tighten the LATCH belt, the tether pulls the belt in the...

    Desperately Seeking TFP in Cranberry

    Anyone have a clue where I might find one before Christmas? I think I've searched high and low online, but I am hopeful that I missed something. They all seem to be backordered until mid-January. The other half of the dilemma is that two vendors (Buy Buy Baby and Babies 1st) have told me...

    TFP vs. Blvd.

    <Sigh>…Still on my quest to find the best car seat to keep my ds (18 mo, 26 lbs, 32.5 in, 13-in torso) RF. We went to Buy Buy Baby today to try a TF and a Radian in our '06 Sienna and '08 Altima (in the pouring rain, I might add!). We successfully installed the TF in the Altima, then realizing...

    Radian XTSL in '06 Sienna

    Hi there, At 18 months, DS is nearly too tall to ride RF in our older RA. After consulting with you wise folks, I decided to try a Radian. I knew that they could be difficult to install, but I thought everything would be simplified with the SL system. WRONG! DH dutifully stopped at a the...

    Options to RF after Roundabout?

    I need some convertible advice from you wise folks. My almost 18-month-old DS is RF in a 2005 Roundabout that I passed down from big sister. However, I feel like he is nearly too tall to continue RF in the Roundabout much longer, and I need to find another seat in order to keep him RF. I...

    Blvd worth it on sale?

    Sorry--my thread is very similar to the other recent one about Blvds. We've been looking around for a new convertible for our 22-lb 14-month old (30th percentile). I don't know his height off the top of my head, but he tends to be right around the 50th percentile. Wandered into a baby store...

    Convertible Seats--So many options!!
