    When did Britax stop putting Locking Clips on their seats? Know my 2009 MA had one, which is interesting b/c it had built in lock offs. Looked up the instructions for my (now gone) 2009 Frontier, and it doesn't look like it had one. Know the 2011 ones don't have them. What's the deal with...

    Vent No Foonf for me!

    Finally got the time and kids to check out the Foonf IRL... My oldest is obviously too tall. Not at or even close to the maximum FF height limit, he's 45" (17" torso), but already over the top harness slots and squished by the SIP wings. No point for Foonf RF for my youngest 36#. No point FF...

    I've never really looked closely at the TurboBoosters, just bought the $40 CT one and it's nice enough, but noticed that the cover on my LBB is more like the cover on the TRU green cover, it's nicer and has padded arm rests and seems to have an extra head/body pad. THEN, I noticed the Britax...
