    Just got a TB and have a question.

    hello hello. Today we went and got the TB and Maestro for dh's truck. This is our first booster without the harness so it "feels" very strange to not have it tethered. Am I just paranoid? Is there a way to tether it? It so strange to go from solid jammed in harness seats to a wibbely...

    Hello! Dd#2 is 41 inches tall (alot of it is torso) and 40 lbs. She is not quite 3.5 years old (not overly mature a.k.a. she's a turkey). She is also ff'ing. Our Chev Silverado doesn't have head rests in the back and she needs to be in the middle next to her sister who is behind the...

    $150.00 Anchor in a 93 Geo Metro

    Hi all. My sil is headed south for Easter in her new/old car. It doesn't have an anchor so she went to GM this a.m. to get one put in. They wanted to charge her 150.00 to do it. Can anyone tell me if this is correct? I "thought" they had to do it for free if the car didn't have one at all...

    Purchased our 2nd Nautilus today and have a few questions

    Hello! The carseat manual says that "the locking clip should be used with a shoulder belt with a sliding latch clip even though it has automatic locking retracters". Does it make sense to use the belt (ratching) and the locking clip together? Dh noticed at one point in our carseat lives...

    Missing out by only purchasing Nautilus'?

    We have a Nautalis for dd1 and had always thought that dd2 would also get one when her time came. Well her time is coming and now mamma's getting cold feet. I do like it. I appreciate how solid its built, that she sits high and isn't difficult to install but I can't help wonder if there's...

    Nautilus at e-children

    Why do you love your 5 pt harness booster?

    I'm having issues deciding on a seat for several reasons so I thought I'd ask you all what seat you have and why you love it. It seems in Canada our choices are limited. Might I add that dh is not game for paying over $300.00 for a Britax but they do look so comfy. The GN's I've seen seem...

    Discussion with a gf

    Wondering if anyone can clarify what my car seat says? My car seat says roughly that it is good from 5lbs to 80lbs. What dh and I interpret the wording to be is that the seat is good up to 40lbs 5 pt harnessed and after that SHOULD be shoulder strapped. For me I take this to mean that if I...

    Question Overwhelmed looking for opinions

    Hello all. I have a few questions. Hopefully I'm in the correct place! I had decided on the GN for my dd who is 4, 40 lbs, and 43 inches tall and a long torso if that matters. I have a few concerns though. She is a huge car sleeper. Huge. I'd like to avoid her head slumping if possible...

    Question This is so complicated - 95 Silverado and the GN

    Hi there. I've been researching for what seems like weeks for dd#1's harnessed booster seat. I've decided on the GN but after reading many comments on several sites it occured to me that we may have issues installing it in our 95 Silverado extended cab. There is very limited leg room so...
