    Which HBB allow gaps?

    I am looking for high-back boosters that will fit in the third row of our Volvo XC90. The headrests protrude a bit and are neither adjustable nor removable. Which high-back boosters allow a gap between the booster and the seat back?

    UV protection window tinting?

    After having some precancerous lesions removed from the left side of my face I've decided to look into having our windows tinted for UV protection. Does anyone have specific recommendations for which tints provide complete UV protection, and would it be possible to get protection applied on the...

    HBB recommendation(s) for 1999 4Runner

    Looking for recommendations for HBBs for our 1999 4Runner. I have an average-size 8.5 YO DD and a tall, skinny almost-6YO DS and would like HBBs for both of them. Looking to replace our harnessed seat and current HBB with new ones that fit better. Right now we have a Radian XTSL and a Diono...

    Seat-belt FF install outboard 2016 Honda Pilot 3rd row

    We just test drove a 2016 Pilot EX today. We could not get our Radian secure in the 3rd row outboard with seatbelt (DS is too heavy for LATCH). In addition, since the 3rd row outboard headrests aren't adjustable, we couldn't get the top tether under the headrest- it could only go over the...

    Safe, 3-row car for narrow garage at top of steep driveway?

    We are looking to get a vehicle with three rows. We have a limitation of a narrow (93") garage opening at the top of a short, steep driveway. It takes some speed up the driveway to make it into the garage and it isn't possible to stop in front of the garage, back up a little, readjust and...

    Diono Monterey questions- esp. regarding head support

    I have a Diono Monterey (DOM 5/13) and am planning to get another one for our other vehicle. However, I just became aware upon reading the reviews for the new Monterey that it requires head support behind the seat back in HBB mode. I couldn't find this requirement in my 2013 manual but Diono...

    Seat config help- Radians in old Toyotas

    I am looking to figure out where to put our seats as DS (4.5 YO, 43#, tall-90th+%ile in height although I don't know his height right now) is reaching his 45# RF limit and DD (7 YO, 52#, 48") is begging to use a booster. We have 4 Radians (65, XT, and 2 XTSLs) and a Diono Monterey booster...

    Monterey back doesn't "lock"?

    Just trying out DD in her new Monterey and noticed the back doesn't lock to the bottom; I sat DD in it in our living room to adjust the headrest and the whole backrest fell suddenly backwards. The manual doesn't mention this specifically although it does say that you can push the backrest...

    Top tether anchor bracket retrofit '99 Toyota 4Runner

    I would like to install top tether anchor brackets in a 1999 Toyota 4Runner. I am not handy at all, and DH is only slightly more so, so we are hesitant to do it ourselves. For example, in the 4Runner manual installation instructions it says to torque the bolt to 16.5—24.7 N•m and DH and I...

    LATCH Anchor and Tether limits '06 Corolla and older Radians

    I have a Radian 65 (DOM 5/08) and a Radian XTSL (DOM 11/10) in a 2006 Toyota Corolla (DOM 8/05). My 5 YO DD (FF in 65) is about 46 pounds and my almost 3 YO DS (RF in XTSL) is about 33 pounds. Currently their seats are configured per the Radian and Corolla manuals, but I've been reading a lot...

    3 across w/2 Radians with AA, '06 Corolla

    I tried searching the 3-across thread but couldn't get the thread search to work, so I hope I'm not being too redundant by posting here. I'd like to start carpooling as my daughter has a long drive to preschool, but need to first make sure another seat will even fit in my car. I have a 2006...

    Radian XTSL superlatch questions

    I have two Radian XTSLs manufactured in 11/2010, and have two superlatch questions. (One seat installed RF in a 99 Toyota 4Runner with a seatbelt... no issues there.) 1) The other is RF in a 2006 Corolla installed with LATCH and a Diono angle adjuster to make a little bit of room in the front...

    Radian65 latch connector facing wrong way

    I have a radian 65 manufactured in 2008. Dh has always handled the installations, but today I was looking at it because I was practicing putting in our scenera. I noticed that to have the latch connectors facing the right way, the latch belt needs to have a twist in it. Dh says he has always...

    Best option for flight with 1.5 and 4.5 YO?

    I am flying alone across the country with my 22-mo old DS and 4.5 YO DD in a week or so. We have 2 connections (so 3 planes) on our outbound flight and 3 connections (4 planes!) on our return flight. A couple tight (about 1 hour) connections in there and small planes. This will be the first...

    Question safest/best Radian configuration?

    DS (6 months, 20 pounds, 29") is at the limit of his infant seat (Chicco Keyfit 22, but he is tall and long-waisted and his head is near the top of the seat). I just ordered 2 new Radian XT SL's (RF to 45 pounds). We also have a Radian 65 purchased in 2008 (RF to 33 pounds) and a Radian XL...
