    Is this "close enough" to at or below? (Chicco Nextfit)

    We had to replace my son's Graco MySize70 and decided to upgrade to a Chicco Nextfit. I was just adjusting it for him and if I put the headrest low enough that the straps are definitely at or below his shoulders he does not have 1in of shell above his head. But if I move it up one the straps...

    Looking for info on booster seats

    A friend of mine just asked me to help her find some info to share with her BIL because he's wanting to put her niece in a booster seat...she's not even 3 yet. I know the information in my head to be able to tell her why, and she does too, but I'm looking for some articles or research that will...

    Belt fit?

    How does he look? His butt is all the way back, knees bent at the end of the seat, feet flat on the floor. The lap belt is across his hips, I can't see it possibly sitting any lower unless maybe he was a thicker kid, he's super skinny, but it's not just across his belly, it's lower than that...

    Probooster or Turbo with Surround?

    We need a backup seat, that will eventually become his full time seat for my 5yr old (will be 6 in Sept). He's a little guy at exactly 40lbs fully clothed, I'm not sure on height but he's always been around the 20th% for that. We have tried him in a Turbo with surround before and did really...

    What is the best out of these options?

    So I just got (still finishing paperwork) a Mazda5. I had planned on just test driving this one from my FIL and then after I got back from NZ actually trading my car in but my current car (08 grand caravan) is awfully close to 100k miles and we just had it appraised and we are already upside...

    Question about 5 step, moving out of a booster

    Ok I'm test driving (and most likely buying) a Mazda5. The very back seat is very small and my 10yr old (and I really think my 8yr old) will 5 step in it. Right now they are in their boosters in it but with that they have to have the headrests up pretty high which blocks a lot of my view...

    Considering a Mazda5, can you help me out?

    I haven't seen one in person but my FIL, who sells cars, thinks it would be a good option for us. I looked it up online and I really like the look of it. I currently drive an 08 Dodge Caravan but it's getting close to 100k miles so it's time to trade it in. I don't want to give up my minivan...

    If it were your 5yr old?

    My 5yr old (will be 6 in Sept) is currently harnessed in a Nautilus. But the past few weeks he's been complaining more and more of it hurting his private area, which I've heard is pretty common with this seat? He is a little guy at exactly 40lbs fully clothed and on the shorter side. He is...

    Are these safe?

    I know that you aren't supposed to use any aftermarket products and you shouldn't use the mats under the car seat but are these kick mats safe? It only is only on the back (well front) of my actual car's seat, doesn't go under the car seat, I can pull it up from between the part of the car seat...

    $50-60 per seat, 2 seats..what would you recommend?

    I know a girl who is trying to replace her babies seats. One is coming up on 2yrs old and then the other is 7mo. She'd like them both RF for as long as possible. They are about average weight and height. If she can only spend $50-60 per seat..but does have their old seats so the BRU trade in...

    Think I've been using my car seat incorrectly for months...CCO

    I was watching a YouTube video of someone who just got a CCO and she was using it with the infant insert..someone told her her daughter was too big and she said the manual said it MUST be used until 25lbs. I went and found the manual online and sure enough it does say that. We have been...

    New True Fit?

    So has anyone actually put their hands on one yet? I'm still looking for a new seat for my 18mo and I'm now thinking I might just hold out for it. I'm loving one of the new colors. But I'm wondering if the height will be the same as the old ones? And it's still only going to be 35lbs RF, is...

    How long will a myride last on average?

    We are going to be buying a new convertible for my youngest soon. He's in a cco but will outgrow it in height pretty soon. I have planned on getting a size4me/mysize but tried one in bbb the other day and I'm really not sure about it now. The headrest pushed his head forward pretty bad, it...

    How does he look in his Chaperone?

    Here is my little nephew on his way home from the hospital today. How does he look? I plan on asking her if his harness was at or below his shoulders, it's kinda hard to tell in the pic looks like it is even but might be a little above. But we were wondering if the head wings can be...
