    Question How to tell if outgrown Cosco Scenera (NOT Next)

    Hi all, I just read over the Cosco Scenera manual from front to back, and the only information I can find about whether or not my kid may have outgrown it is weight, height, and age requirements, and where the harness straps hit his shoulders. In other words, as long as he is <40 lbs (he's...

    Question Fwd facing carseat without top tether?

    Hi all, I have a dilemma I did not anticipate. We just hired a lovely woman to be our new babysitter, and part of her job is to pick up my son from Kindergarten and bring him home each day. When we went to install our Britax Frontier (Click Safe) car seat in her 1999 Honda Accord Wagon, I was...

    Does this look properly installed?

    We have a Cosco Scenera we have used for travel in the past that I have been trying to install FF in my 2010 Subaru Forester for the past couple of days. Today I basically forced the issue, but I think the install is wrong. Could someone please confirm? (Please see attached thumbnails. The...

    Please help me find the right seat!

    We recently moved our Britax Frontier (with Clicktight) to our babysitter's car, and I had been planning on installing our old Cosco Scenera into my car, as my son rarely rides in my car. However, I cannot get the seat installed for love or money. My back seat belt buckles (in my 2010 Forester)...

    Travel help, please!

    In a couple of months I will be traveling with my two sons by plane (and then we will have a rental car), and I am trying to figure out my car seat options. My boys are 4 years/36"/31lbs and 5.5 years/42"/41lbs. At home, they both travel in Frontier 90s, in the 5-pt harness. For various...

    Frontier 90: Fit issues in 2010 (or 2011) Impreza, CRV, or RAV4?

    Hello all, We are planning on adding a second car to our family, and we already have two Britax Frontier 90s. They are currently installed outbound in our 2010 Forester. We expect to move them between the Forester and our new car, as they as so quick and easy to install/uninstall (which is why...

    Price Check: Britax Advocate 70 CS With Cowmoo Cover

    Could anyone give me input on a reasonable price for a 2011 Britax Advocate 70 CS with cowmoo cover? My neighbor is interested in buying it from me (which would potentially let me buy a Frontier), but I have no idea what a reasonable price is. And if she decides she is not interested, I may try...

    Question Need RF (convertible) help, please!

    Hello again, I recently posted about a problem I was having with not being able to tighten/loosen the harness on our Britax Boulevard (which -- if you are so inclined -- you can read here: http://www.car-seat.org/showthread.php?t=259866 ). I got such great input from that thread, and I thought...

    Question Help with FF/booster combo carseat choice, please!

    I could use your collective wisdom! I have two sons, both small, ages 3+ (~27#, ~36") and 4.75 (~35-40#, not sure of height). They are currently riding in a Britax Boulevard CS (the 3 year old, RF) and a Britax Advocate (the 4.75 year old, FF). Unfortunately, something has happened to the...

    Question Britax Blvd C&S -- not working properly (after cleaning)

    Hi all, I'm hoping someone has some insight for me. My son has only recently begun to use the bathroom regularly, and he recently had an "accident" in his carseat (a Britax Blvd Click and Safe from 2009). I removed the cover and washed it, let it air dry, and put it back on. The process seemed...

    Question Inexpensive booster seat for occasional use?

    Hi all, I'm looking for an inexpensive booster seat for my 4.5 year old son to use every once in awhile in my parents' car (Volvo station wagon, not sure of the year, but no more than 10 years old). They won't leave it in their car all the time, so I want something that can go in and out...

    Question Which is safer?

    I have a dilemma. I can't FF my sons in a convertible and retain my dealership-installed metal grate/barrier between the cargo space and backseat of my SUV because I can't tether properly with the barrier in place. The barrier is there entirely for safety reasons (we don't have a dog). So it...

    Question First time FF install help, please! (Advocate, Forester with dog barrier, tether issues)

    I have a 2012 Subaru Forester with two outbound RF Britaxes installed, a Blvd and an Advocate. My older son (3 years & 9 mos), who rides in the Advocate, is creeping up on the "1 inch from the top of the shell" rule, and is close enough that I'm ready to turn him forward facing. I got out the...

    Recommendations for a seat for ERF, now that my 3.5 year old has nearly outgrown Britax Advocate

    I recently wrote about various considerations in keeping my (quite small 3.5 year old) son rear facing versus turning him forward facing. You all convinced me to keep him rear facing. But in writing the post, it occurred to me I had better check to make sure he hadn't outgrown his carseat, a...

    RF vs. FF? What would you do?

    Hi everyone, My older son has just started preschool, and so for the first time, we are dealing with potential drop-off/pick-up in which I do not get out of the car and someone else helps him in and out. He is a small guy (around 31 pounds, and about 37", though with short legs/average torso)...

    RF in Scenera on SWA: How to make a 2.5 year old most comfortable

    Hello all, My family a long flight (4-5 hours) coming up soon, and my 2.5 year old told me this morning, "I don't like flying in planes, I only like flying in cars." Unfortunately, his last plane experience was fairly negative (nothing in particular, it was just a long haul for a...

    Anyone install a Britax Advocate in a 2010 Subaru Forester?

    Well, since I last wrote, my younger son (who is nearly a year old and still in his Graco Snugride, with pounds and inches to spare) has settled onto a very different growth curve than where he was 6 months ago. Luckily, I decided not to buy a seat at that time. Now I am leaning strongly...

    Question True Fit Premier "Retro Geo" (2010) and "Bionic Splash" 2010

    Hello all, I have a couple unusual questions for anyone out there who has a True Fit Premier, especially someone with the Bionic Splash or 2010 Retro Geo covers. I have a neurological condition that causes me to have problems (parts of my field of vision disappear) whenever I have to look at...

    Which Convertible(s) for ERF, given a Sub Forester 2010 and boys who are tall for their weight

    My younger son, at 6 months, is getting too heavy to carry around in his Graco Snugride, and since that was the one selling point of an infant carseat for me, it's time to move him into a convertible. My older son, at 2 years, is in a Britax Boulevard CS 65 that we bought a year and a half ago...

    Britax Boulevard and Graco Snugride in a 2001 Nissan Altima?

    Hello, I'm looking for input on my carseat situation. We have a 2001 Nissan Altima (no LATCH) with a Britax Boulevard currently installed (RF) in the middle seat for my 13 month old son. It fits, although it touches both of the front seats, and sort of sticks through the opening. I'm due...
