    Question Confused about when to move to booster

    My son is going to be 8 in April. He is in a 5pt harness Britax Frontier. I know it can be converted to a high back booster, but we haven't done that yet. Not only does it seem difficult for him to buckle (my belts are hard to reach anyway in my 2012 Pilot, but also wrestling around the shape of...

    Question Ready to Cry...new car's ALR isn't working either... aaahh

    Ok, on a previous post I mentioned that I bought a Lexus RX400h yesterday and am finding out that it wasn't the best pick. Now... I just went to try to install his Frontier in the car and lo and behold, the ALR isn't working! :eek: I pull the belt all the way out and let it back in slowly... it...

    Question I messed up! New Lexus RX400h Frontier 85 doesn't seem to fit!

    Help! My son is 5.5 yrs and weighs 43lbs. I bought a Frontier so he could be 5pt harnessed for a long time. He doesn't object and he's nice and safe in there for a while. I wanted him in the middle and I want him in the Frontier... however... I drove 6.5 hours to buy this hybrid Lexus 400h...

    2008/2010 Highlander and Frontier 85- Middle Seat?

    Still car hunting! We have a Frontier 85. Wanting to know about that weird middle 2nd row seat on the Highlander. Can my son be belted in (Still using 5pt harness on it) rather than LATCH in the seat? He is of the right weight to belt in (42lbs) rather than LATCH but I just don't know about the...

    Question Car seat vs. Booster

    Hello! We have a BRITAX Marathon but my son is 4 and too tall for it! So, I'm wondering what to do now. He weighs 39lbs and I would love to keep him in a 5pt harness but don't know. He has a very long torso and his head is 1 inch above the top of the Marathon he is in now- should I move him to...

The (almost) 3 year old is in a high-back booster seat (eeeekkk!!!) and the baby is forward facing in a car seat (grrr!!). I don't know the names of the...

    Have Expedition, considering 4Runner

    Hi! I haven't been on here in a looong time! We have a 2007 Expedition and are considering getting rid of it. It has LATCH in the middle seat (we have one child and won't be having more) so that's great, but it's a gas hog and has low mileage, so we're thinking we can dump it before its value...

    Marathon harness pressing on crotch, any suggestions?

    Hi! I was wondering if anyone had some advice for us about car seats. We have a Britax Marathon and a 26 month old son. I don't know how tall he is, but he's 30lbs and pretty tall for his age. Anyway, the way the bottom part of the harness (don't know the "official name" but where the two metal...

    Odyssey club webpage?

    This isn't a car seat question but I can't remember did I see somewhere on here that there is an Odyssey fan club website? I really, really have an important question and wanted to ask some experienced Odyssey owners. I can't lock my Odyssey when one of the doors is open- which is SOOOOO unsafe...

    Marathon buckle squashing my son's privates?

    Ok, sorry for TMI, but I installed a Marathon in our Odyssey last weekend and this whole week, I keep noticing that when buckled, the Marathon buckle part is very tight up against his "privates" area. Am I doing something wrong? Also, we were on a longer trip and he fell asleep. I noticed him...

    Does this look okay?

    Thanks to the AWESOME help of Lovinwaves (who talked me through installing on the phone today, yay!) I am sending pictures of my new Honda Odyssey with our new Britax Marathon installed. I wonder, does this install look okay? We were supposed to get blue, but when it arrived at the dealer's...

    Hi, all! We've gone back and forth and back and forth for a long time and are finally buying a dark blue 2007 Honda Odyssey LE tomorrow! I'm excited (who'da thunk I'd be excited about buying a minivan??? not me 10 years ago!) Anyway, I also got a Britax Marathon that isn't out of the box yet...

    Ford Freestyle?

    Does anyone have a ford freestyle? I like the looks of them, but I have a Loaner Odyssey overnight last night and today and Oh My Goodness is it nice!!! Wow, loaded to the gills.

    Car seat questions

    I have a post on the car safety board and am moving a question from that to here. I was asking about car seats and am wondering if I wanted to have Aaron RF for a while (he's 8mo and want to RF him until at least 18mo) and used the Britax Marathon, is there no way to use the top tether part of...

    Honda Odyssey Question

    Now, after reading crash testing results given to me on the other thread I posted, I'm pondering a Honda Odyssey. But I have a question- I realize the best place for a LO is in the middle seat. I also know that the Captain's chairs in the Odyssey are moveable and so you can move the seat to the...

    Keep my SUV or buy a new Sienna?

    I never knew about LATCH until I watched that Kyle video... and my 2001 Ford Expedition doesn't have it. I am considering buying either a 2006 Expedition or a 2006 Sienna 8passenger (to put Aaron in the middle 2nd row seat) Should I keep my 2001 truck with no LATCH? Should I get another huge...
