    Washing a ProRide Base??

    I'm not sure I posted my question in the right place, so cross posting: Does anyone know if I can hose down a Recaro ProRide? Several months ago my son spilled a vanilla milk in his seat and it seeped into the base. I tilted it every which way possible to get most of it out. I had called...

    Car seats or FAA harness on planes?

    We are flying with our 2 year old, with an hour layover/plane change in each direction. We are debating on whether to put his car seat on the plane or get a harness. I think we will all be happier with him in his car seat once the plane gets going, but I have some concerns maybe you can help me...

    Frayed Harness

    I just noticed the harness on our ProRide is fuzzy/fraying on one side. The center strap you pull to tighten the harness is also fuzzy all over, but not specifically fraying in one spot. Is this normal wear and tear after less than 2 years? Should it be covered under a warranty? I called...

    Extended Cab Trucks

    Hi, My general question is this: is it preferable to place a FF child (in his car seat) in the rear of an extended cab truck or in the front seat (air bags off, of course)? Some more specific details about us: The kiddo: 22 mo, 33lbs, 37", rear-facing in a Recaro ProRide (RF limit 35 lbs)...

    Car accident - what to do with the car seat?

    My husband was in a major car accident yesterday. Thankfully he's not seriouy injured and Tanner and I were not in the car. I'm pretty sure we need to replace the car seat that was in his vehicle, simply based on the level of impact (at least on of the two cars involved will be totalled out...

    ERF pics??

    I'm sure I've seen a link on this site...is there a place folks have posted pics of their toddlers ERF? I'm starting to get crazy passionate about ERF and want to show a friend some pictures. She thinks her 33" tall 12mo old is too cramped. I don't want to be pushy, just share some info... TIA!

    Question Head Flop Problem

    Tanner's head seriously flops forward when he falls asleep, and I don't like it at all. I guess it's not too bad if he falls asleep on 2 mile drive to school, but we have a 5 hour trip coming up this weekend. DH thinks I'm silly to worry bc we had help from a certified tech when we installed the...

    We tried some seats...still can't decide!

    We went to USABaby this weekend and tried the CA and SK XTSL, along with the new Recaro ProRide. We had decided against the proride after several conversations on this board, but tried it anyway :( The manager helped us install them. They all seemed pretty simple to do, but we really don't know...

    Still trying to decide...

    THought we'd settled on the Radian XTSL if it fits in our cars, which we believe is unlikely given that we have to move the passanger seats way up to accomodate our KF30/30. Our back-up is the Safety 1st Complete Air. But... when I was in BRU today playing with seats I saw the new Evenflo...

    Different Complete Air models

    Are there any safety advantages to the SE or LX. Besides the color variatins, they look the same.

    Recaro Convertible Pros and Cons

    On paper (the Carseat Measurements and Data spreadsheet on this forum), the Recaro Convertible Seats look pretty good for us. We are considering the ProRide. I've heard that the measurements will be that of the Signo: 17.5" top harness height 26" internal seating height 13" internal bottom...

    Comparing convertible seats

    Is there a handy chart that compares various features of convertible seats? We're looking for a seat for our torso tall 5 month old. I've read diff info on shell height and some o you have helped me with suggestions for higher top harness options. But I want something to take with me when...

    How many seats will he need?

    Our son is a torso tall 5mo old (27", 18lbs at 4mo). We started with the KF30/30, and will likely move to the First Years TFP or Safety1st CA soon. I've notice safety rec's here are much more conservative than our state laws and even more so than what our friends tell us. Since we want to do...

    RF in the front seat

    I just read that this may be better than RF in the back seat bc of improved parent-child communication, less looking in the backseat, etc. Sounds great to have him up near me, but i think it may provide a visual obstruction for the driver. Thoughts?

    Measuring torso height

    What's the best way to get an accurate measurement? Sitting up, floor to crown of head (he's still a little schlumpy)? Or laying down - hip or bottom of butt cheeks to crown? Thanks!

    We need help picking a convertable seat, please

    Our boy is 5 months old, 18 lbs and 27 inches long (he grew 5" in two months). Our infant carrier us the Chicco KF 30/30,so we'll be needing a seat pretty soon. We've been happy with the Chicco, but it is a little big for our cars. We have to put him behind the passenger seat, which we move...
