    Diono Radian RXT Convertible Car Seat

    My grandson is only 3 1/2 months old, but is getting VERY heavy in his baby bucket, so my daughter is shopping for a new seat. They will keep him rear facing as long as possible. I haven't been 'involved' in car seat stuff for lil' ones in a long time, so I want to know about this seat...

My daughter is 9, weights 92 lbs, and is in a Monterey in my vehicles, but it's a MAJOR pain to transfer each time we need to, and in the spring, I'm going to need a friend to pick her up from school...

    I'm getting a GRANDbaby!! Time for seat advice

    Daughter drives a 2004 Ford Escape. Are there any particular situations we should know about with any particular seat(s)? Something that doesn't work well. Not a lot of worry about back to front space, as daughter and son in law are both rather short, so they don't need to put the front...

    Monterey now bothering daughter

    The 'mesh' part of the seat is now 'hurting' her. I was going to purchase a piece of flannel to lay over it; I thought the skooter she had on was just too short. HOWEVER, the next day she wore long bball shorts and still complained, so now, I'm just bumfuzzled. Admitedly, we just traveled...

    Why is a 7 year old in a booster not 'safer' in front with an airbag

    than in the back seat without one. Why isn't the 'airbag protection' better than no airbag? This is what my hubby asked me last night... and I don't know the 'answer' except for the 'ya don't use airbags below 12 years old'. I completely understand his reasoning. If an air bag protects...

    Ok,, here's the deal. My chick is in the Monterey. She wanted to go with her dad yesterday. The seat fit fine in the back seat of his truck, but he apparently still has 'worry' about it hitting the back glass. *the radian wouldn't go back there because it hit the glass* Since the Monterey...

    I'd like some opinions... maybe I've sent my goal too LOW??

    I'm in the process of working on my daycare contract. I have this 'blurb' and would love any opinions or suggestions from you guys. Is 2 not 'reasonable'? Should I actually be making it higher? I have a 2 year old in care right now,,, and her mom was one that told me my child 'didn't have to...

    uhoh, More questions,, no seatbelt and LATCH!?!??!

    Ok,, I'm 99.999% certain that the parents installing the seats in my van used the seatbelts AND LATCH,, but I just read that isn't ok. I KNOW they used the seatbelts and the top strap that goes over the seat and hooks in the back. I do NOT know if they used the 'bars down in the seat'. Does...

    How does one become a 'tech'

    I've decided I'm gonna go CRAZY with carseat issues, so I want some 'real knowledge that I have 'back up' when I try to straighten out issues with carseats. Figure it might just be best to see about being 'certified' or whatever it is here in California. I'm not POSITIVE I want to take this...

    Confused about height.. too tall for this seat?

    I'm trying to keep my chick harnessed as long as I possibly can. I don't want to put her in danger though by waiting TOO long to booster her. Is she too tall for this seat? I don't know for sure what the 'tips' of the ears and 'where' they should be? Is that the top? or the 'lobes'? or...

    Sleeping in a booster?

    I am planning a VERY long driving trip later this year. My 7 year old will outgrow her Radian65 long before then. *She's topped 60 lbs now* Is falling asleep 'ok' in the Monterey? It appears that the wings would 'hold the head up' but I'm curious how different seats work for that situation...
