    Guide 65 RFng recline for 17mth under 22lb?

    I don't have the seat or manual to look at, and someone asked me about this earlier this week. They are having very limited space for the driver & front passenger in their vehicle, with 2 x 17mth olds RFng in GUIDE 65 seats in the back. The children are walking, 17mth old, excellent head...

    What's your preferred all around useful combination seat?

    I think we will need a combination harness to booster seat for DD by spring. She's FF in a Radian RXT in our main vehicle, but her 2nd Radian is getting passed down to one of the babies, leaving her with only that main seat, but by spring there will be 3 potential vehicles she could be in. I'm...

    Keyfit22 Compatibility/Joovy Twin Roo

    Does anyone know if the Joovy Twin Roo would be compatible with the 22lb KeyFit? The Keyfit 30 is listed as compatible. I can't try this out anywhere at all, as I'll need to send DH to the US to get the stroller frame, since it's not in Canada yet, and only the KF22 are available in Canada (and...

    Best 4lb/possible preemie infant seat in Canada?

    My previous challenge of orchestrating the right 3-across in DH's truck just got more complicated. Now, the new June baby is 2 May babies (twins should arrive before the June 1st due date). I need a recommendation for infant carrier type seats, that will fit tiny babies well (DD was 6lb9oz...

    How difficult will this 3 across be to get everyone into?

    In June we will need to have 3 in a row in DH's Expedition. Two RFng - one in a Radian for sure w/ AA, the other most likely in a Radian (no AA) or something else if needed to make it work better. One booster rider in either a Parkway or a Monterey, both are available, but the Parkway is...

    Will 2 Radians RFng fit on the 60 portion of a Freestyle bench?

    We currently have the captains chairs in the 2nd row of our Ford Freestyle. However, we are considering switching out the seats and replacing them with a bench *IF* we would be able to fit 2 RFng Radians on the 60 portion, and still be able to fold the 40 portion freely for access to the 3rd...

    Does Parkway need vehicle headrests?

    DS is currently in a Radian with room to grow, but we like him in the center in DH's Expedition. http://images.dealerrevs.com/gallery/photo.php?id=46677635 The center headrest is lower than the side ones, does anyone know if its sufficient for the Parkway? With in a year, this truck will be...

    Niagara Region Tech(s)?

    Is there anyone in Welland or nearby? I didn't see anyone closer than Grimsby on the Cdn Techs list. I'd love it if someone was nearby and could give me a hand getting DD's Radian more upright, I think my latest attempt actually ended up right back at the 45* angle that it was at before. Or any...

    s/o - Radian booster fit on avg. 40lb child (photos)

    (ETA: I know he's not heavy enough to booster in THIS seat, just checked the fit for fun) The week DS turned 5, I told him we could see how the booster option would fit on his carseat, just as a test. I didn't take out the harness or anything, just pulled the seat belt over as he was buckled in...

    Booster Shopping ...

    It's time to start shopping for a booster for DS (turns 5 next week, is consistently 41lb, and will start riding in a booster in one vehicle in the spring. He'll stay in a Radian in the other vehicle a while longer. I had always planned to get a Monterey, but with the belt retracting issues...

    Which seat next for DD (6mth)?

    (sorry, it got long, but I tried to bold the important info) In my car, both DS (almost 5) and DD (6mth) are in Radians, those seats are staying in my vehicle. In DH's truck, DD has been in a Snugride with a 22lb limit, and she is about to outgrow it by height, she' a big tall baby (18ish lb...

    When to move RF seat more upright?

    DD is 3mth old, in a Radian (the one with headwings). She's close to 15lb, excellent head/neck control, nearly sitting independantly ... What am I looking for to know that her seat can be slightly more upright than the newborn 45* angle? If I don't move it a bit soon, it's staying on that...

    Radian RFng in Oddysey (06)?

    Radian RFng in Oddysey (06)? (added more ? in post 4) Does a Radian, reclined for a newborn, fit in the 2nd row, and allow the driver or passenger to have their seat set fully back? I've looked through the 'Successful Install' Thread, but didn't see if the seats were fully back, when the...

    What is the expected weight gain ...

    ... of an average 4.5yo, between now and 6yo -- over the next 18mth. He's got more height left than I thought in the Radian, and about 10lbs to the limit. It's the older one with a 48lb FFng limit. His shoulders are just over the 2nd highest harness slot, so he's got nearly the full space to...

    How annoying. (re: winter coats, and yes, I know it's July!)

    So I was searching for a good website with an overview of how to use rearfacing seats for someone ... I just wanted the basics ie: recline, install, straps below the shoulders. They need to see the info from a 'reputable' source. This link was looking ok, till I got to the FAQ section, and saw...

    Does anyone have better/current handouts re: carseats?

    I got the 'client binder' from my midwives yesterday, and the carseat info was horribly out of date! There are 5 'flyers'. One is a really basic overview of all seats from infant - booster, and is put together by public health & a local safety group. That one isn't horrible, but it's older. The...
