    Considering a KidsEmbrace Harnessed booster - tell me about your experience

    My 4y11m 46LB child is almost outgrown the strap height on his Britax Boulevard. I was planning to replace it with a graco nautilus which is what my older two (14 & 12) rode in. But child 3 would lose their mind for a spider man or paw patrol seat. Little reticent to purchase since I've been...

    Ideas for center RF convertible for 2013 Forester

    I'm moving my 7mo (21 lbs) to a convertible in our 2013 Forester. Would like to keep him in the center position to separate older sibling - one sits in a no back booster. I got the Graco size 4me but it eventually tips to the side even when I think I have a good install. Any suggestions...

    7 vs 8 seat Sienna/Odyssey

    Looking to purchase a minivan. We will have 3 kids, one in a HHB and one in a 5Pt harness for 4+ years. Are the 8th seats usable and worth the extra cost? We would not need it on a regular basis but I'm thinking it might be nice to have for carpooling and when relatives come to visit. Thought?

    Maestro - $23 - Target - Potomac Yard, Alexandria Va

    There are 2 on clearance 70% off. I resisted every urge I had to buy both of them because, well, my boys ar 5 & 7. But if anyone is local and needs a seat... There were a few other Graco convertibles for 50% off - $99 I think. Didn't look closely, it was late.

    Question Can the nautilas be used as a HHB with the LATCH?

    I'm having to replace my nautilas as a result of a collision. My son is almost at the height limit but I'd like to keep him harnessed as long as possible. One of the features I want in a HBB is that it can latch into the car so it is not a projectile when not occupied. Can I do that with...

    Question Radian - how do you know when they outgrow it? Other options?

    I have my 5y7mo forward facing in a Radian XLT (I think that's the model - it's the old version with the head wings). His shoulders are above the top of the straps. I thought I remembered reading he had another inch, but I can't remember. It might be time for a HBB. Any recommendations for a...

    Question Chicco Keyfit and the SUburo outback 2011?

    One of my very best friends was at my home yesterday with her 6MO. She went to put her seat in the base and I noticed that the base visible moved much more than the allowable 1 inch. :eek: I know she had the seat installed at the police station but I never offered to check it because I didn't...

    This is a thread from a conversation on a local mommy forum regarding when did you change to FFing. Rally, I'm surprised at the reasons people are giving for FFing. I've answered (as a mom who rear-faces) but I'm not a tech. I figured someone with more knowledge might want to chime in as...
