    Diono Cambria makes loud creaking noise

    I bought 2 of these to replace expiring Monterey boosters. Our one car is great and the other (mine of course) the booster makes creaking sounds when ds is in it - drives me crazy! Why is the plastic making this sound and how can I stop it? I'm thinking it's the way the booster sits on the seat...

    Need lbb (turbo) Canada

    Hi I am looking for a basic graco lbb in a boy colour. I have checked target, Canadian tire and walmart and ended up getting a blue one from walmart but I still think ds will find it girly...all the "boy" colours are for younger boys with neon green motorcycles, cars, etc. He is 8 and most of...

    Apramo booster question

    I picked up a couple of these as my son is outgrowing his turbo and they were like $12 at CT. I want it for secondary cars as he uses Monterey hbb in main car. Anyway, the belt guide seems strange to me as it is like a locking clip so the seatbelt hangs loose once unbuckled. Is this correct? It...

    I installed the true fit FF with the seatbelt and it is solid and top tethered. When I put ds in and pull down to tighten the harness the top part of the seat tips forward (headrest part of seat).

    When to move to lbb?

    Hi I have had to move boosters around due to new vehicles and have a few questions. DS is 8 and rides in parkway sg hbb and Monterey hbb. He is hovering around 60 pounds and 51 inches (tall torso) so the headrests on the boosters are getting really tall and sometimes obstructing my view. Also...

    True fit install issue

    Love my true fit and use it in many cars with either latch or seatbelt. However, today I was trying a three across and tried to install it with the seatbelt to get some more room in my own car and the plastic circle thing on the belt is right in the lock-off so it can't close. I ended up having...

    Hi I posted recently about my turbo booster back slipping and am waiting to hear back from Graco about possible replacement. The thing is DS is 7.5 and really tall in the torso so on the top slot anyway. He rides in a Monterey and parkway sg in our cars but the turbo in my parents cars. Would...

    Mazda Protege LATCH limit

    Hi Couldn't find it in the manual. Have a TF installed with LATCH and little one is 38 pounds. Don't get the best belt install for some reason (only car that takes a few attempts) so if I don't have to switch at 40 it would be best! Is it 48 - I hope:) Thanks!

    Advice from a triage nurse...and a VENT!
