    Best practice advice for young teens (other people's kids) in minivan--front seat or third row?

    I'm going to be doing a pretty long road trip with some "marathon" driving days (10+ hours) this summer, and there's a good chance I'll be bringing a set of 13 year old twins (family friends) as well as my own two kids. I drive a 2012 Honda Odyssey. To give everyone personal space, my...

    10th percentile 10 year old on cross country road trip -- consider Britax harness again?

    It's been years since I was last here, mostly because my kids got older, and also because I up-sized from a Nissa Versa (doing three seats across!) to a Honda Odyssey (2012, EX-L) where any child safety seat seems to work somewhere. My question today is fairly specific and maybe a little...

    LATCH-able booster for 6 yo, 44.5" tall, 47#, short torso

    Are these all the LATCH-compatible boosters? - Clek Oobr (or Ozzi or Olli, but I prefer HBB) - Monterey (maybe too wide for my boy?) - Jane Indy Plus - Britax Frontier? I posted last month when DH's Pilot was totaled and I needed new car buying advice. (He chose a 2010 Hyundai Veracruz.) Now...

    Question Honda Pilot totaled; thoughts on Nissan Murano, Rogue, Honda CR-V, Subaru Forester

    DH was in an accident and his 2004 Honda Pilot is a total loss. (He walked away with only minor cuts and bruises, thank God!) Between the promised insurance payout and cash savings, I can spend $20,000 for a new vehicle without incurring any debt. We could take out a loan and buy something much...

    Narrow boosters for 3 across in compact car (Nissan Versa)--maybe Recaro Start?

    I have successfully installed 3 across with harnessed seats in my little 2008 Nissan Versa hatchback with 47.2 inches rear hiproom. (Radian/Britax Wizard/Radian -- all FF) My primary question is whether a Recaro Start is really only 13" wide and therefore worth the price for my really tight...

    Question Any other narrow RF seat to consider in 3-across?

    I'm thrilled to report that I was able to get 3 across in my 2007 Nissan Versa yesterday. Yay! But I need to buy one new seat for a few reasons, most importantly because my 3 across situation depends upon using at least one Radian (which I have) forward-facing as it fits beneath the fat sides...

    Rear-facing D-ring tether anchor -- generic or specific?

    I couldn't find this question asked and answered anywhere else around here, but please bear with me if this is something obvious. Can I use a D-ring temporary tether "anchor" strap interchangeably between my Britax and Sunshine Kids seats that allow rear-facing tethering? It would simplify my...

    SafeGuard Childseat -- has anyone seen one in real life?

    I know the consensus generally is that a Britax is a better buy than a SafeGuard Childseat. Still, for me, while I don't *want* to spend an extra $150, I am capable of doing so and consider a car seat my absolute highest priority for baby/childcare items. I'd just like to hear from someone with...
