    Seam free underwear?

    DD1 has issues with clothes "not feeling right". She cannot have tags or seams on things and it is driving me nuts. And I cave...:o Underwear has been a big issue for over a year now. She has about 5 pairs that she can wear, but that is it. And she is getting bigger and the underwear are getting...

    Top tether in a Subaru 2007 or 2008?

    A friend i travelling to family on the east coast tomorrow. They will be using a Subaru from either 07 or 08 and my friend was wondering where the anchor points for the top tether might be located. Anyone have any idea? Her SIL had looked for them but not found any. I have told her to look...

    Is this doable?

    Matrix 2008. RF RA50 in the middle, Evenflo Big Kid passenger side and FF EFTA driver's side. I know I can do RA50 ff in the middle and rf EFTA on the passenger side, but not sure the big kid fits that way. EFTA is in DH's car, so I cannot try it right now. I would like to know if it is worth...

    No info when hovering over thread title?

    I have always used the hovering function to see what different threads are about to open the ones that I might be interested in. But now that function does not work for me. It is just for me, or have you made a change? If it is just me, any ideas on how to fix it? I am using Chrome. If it is a...

    Headwings on a HBB?

    I know I should know this, but I always forget/feel too uncertain about it. On a HBB - where the heck should the bottom part of the headwings be? Or where should the center of the headwing be in relationship to say the ears on the kid?

    FF harnessed seats - what is out there?

    I can just think of Britax Frontier 85 and the Nautilus. What else is out there? Recaro (or is it Recardo?) also has a seat, don't they? And what about Sunshine kids? They have a new one, how does that seat compare to the Frontier and NA?

    The insert for EFTA

    At what point do you have to remove the insert for the EFTA? I have looked in the manual, but I cannot find anything in there about when you have to remove it. Is there such a rule or is it just by looking at the child and determining if the child is to big for the insert?

    What is good gas for the car?

    DH is a scientist, which means he wants scientific proven statistics for anything I say ;). He has this idea that "cheap gas" is not good for the car, and pretty much only fills up at Chevron. Good gas for DH is Chevron, Shell and maybe some other company. DH prefers Chevron because it is an...

    EFTA hard to loosen

    I have my EFTA installed passenger outboard in a Matrix. I usually keep the harness tight and just unbuckle DD2 and take her out of the tight harness. But sometimes she's wearing something thinner and I need to tighten the harness. And then we're back to thicker clothes and I need to loosen the...

    Name of Britax fabric for RA?

    I am wondering what the fabric is called that has come off my retired RA. Is there a site where I can see all the different patterns etc? I am too lazy right now to take a pic, but it is kind of grey, sort of with squares on it. Somewhat plush. And the seat is from Feb 2006.

    A fake three across in a Matrix

    So we are now looking into a booster for DD1 in my car. I need to be able to install one seat in the center since I cannot put anyone in that position (does not have a head rest). I have either a rf EFTA or RA50 that need to go right next to the booster. Does anyone know of a booster that will...

    Roundabout 50 and LATCH

    Today I installed my RA50 ff in two different cars using LATCH and I hated it! I have had three different Britax seats (RA and MA classic and then this RA50) and the RA50 is by far the hardest one to install using LATCH ff. I don't really know why that is, but the ends of the LATCH connectors...

    Car seat law in NV?

    I should know this, but have to get kiddo to school, so I do not have time to look it up. What does the law say about car seats in NV and where do I find it? Thanks!

    Booster not flush against the back seat = OK?

    Boosters are not my strong side, so a question: We got DD1 a TB to use in DH's car. The back of the booster does not lay flat against the back of the seat due to the headrest (which cannot be removed). Is this a problem?

    RVs?

    My parents are most probably coming to visit and they have been toying with the idea of renting an RV. Well, as far as I remember you can not install a car seat in an RV. Is that right? Can you use a booster? If the answer to those two questions is no, the RV is most probably out, because they...

    Girlie TB where?

    We are looking for a girlie TB for DD1. I like the Jenna that Target has, but have never seen it in real life - does it look nice? And I just found Kallie at Walmart (but I do not like to shop at Walmart). Are there any other nice looking girl patterns out there for the TB? I do not want brown...

    Fixing head slump

    DD2 has gotten her new seat and it is an EFTA. She loves her seat, but when she falls asleep in it her head slumps forward. The level indicator/line is level with the ground. Would you try to fix the head slump by using one noodle, thus reclining the seat a tad more (I have not tried it so I...

    Boosters

    DD1 has grown a lot lately and I noticed she is getting closer to having reached the max on her RA50. She has also gained a lot of weight lately (although I think she has a couple of pounds to go before hitting 40 lbs), so I am once again thinking about getting her a booster when it is time to...

    What my 5 yo said

    I rode with a friend and her son the other day. DD1 was also in the car. The son was in a LBB and moved around a lot. DD1 asked him if he wanted to die? :o She continued to ask if his mom had never told him to sit up straight in the car. 'Cause you don't want to die in an accident, do you? I...

    Braking with booster kids in the car

    I was out riding with a friend who's son is in a booster yesterday. Both my girls are harnessed. Anyway, every time the brakes were applied (to go around a corner, to slow down etc) the son complained about being thrown forward. I know DD1 complains about the same thing sometimes, but that is...
