    Input on these 2 models?

    Okay, we are going to try to look at these three vehicles this weekend. Any thoughts, suggestions input on 08 vs 2013? The 2013’s are really a bit above what I want to pay right now but I’ve got my Dad & husband pushing for one of those. The 2008 has had 2 owners, the 2013’s were both rental...

    Question Purchasing a van

    I was so not expecting to sell our Accord in 12 hours, but we basically have. We need to go get the title from the bank (pay off the $1400 we owe) and get emissions done and we are signing it over on Sat. I've been searching the internet for vans and I think we've settled on a Sienna. But, we...

    Ack, #3 is due in 8 weeks!!!

    And I've got to figure out this 3 in a row thing. I *think* this will work in my car. I didn't actually install the center seat, but that radian has been installed center RF before by a tech so I know it'll work with me driving (no one else, I'm short). But now I'm concerned about DH's car. The...

    Question Highback booster reccomendations?

    My oldest is 6 1/2, 50lbs and 50". He is currently in a radian but he keeps loosening the straps because he says they are digging into his shoulders. I am also pregnant with our third (was also a year and a half ago and posted for suggestions but we lost that pregnancy - in the second tri now...

    Narrowest infant seat?

    We tried putting a booster seat in DH's car with 2 other carseats (Radians) in it and it was clear that that was going to be a horrible solution. The booster (we tried 3 different ones) were just SO unstable in both outboard and center seats and then I know buckling was going to be a PITA...

    Three in a row carseat options?

    I am due with my third (yaay) and we really don't want to get into car payments again by getting a van and are hoping we can find a 3 in a row solution. When this baby comes we will have: A 5 1/2 year old. He currently weighs 49lbs and is 45" tall and is riding FF in a Radian 80 in one car...

    Question Skipping the infant (bucket) seat?

    We are, hopefully, moving onto baby #3 and currently have a 2 year old (27lbs, RF in a Radian XTSL. And a 4 (47lbs) year old, FF in a Radian 80 and a maestro in the other car. Our cars are a 2003 Toyota Matrix and a Honda Accord (2003 - smaller than newer models). I tried to put our old Graco...

    What are the "rules" for the Radian?

    After asking my question below, I'm second guessing whether I know the answer to this or not. Is it okay for the child's shoulders to be above the top harness slot in the Radian FF, correct? My son is baaaaarely under it right now.

    Booster seat suggestions?

    My 4 year old is currently riding in a FF Radian. He is 45lbs and 43". His brother is RF in a Radian (18 months currenty). We are also (close to) TTC our third. The oldest will be 5 to 5 1/2 by the time third is born and he is a big kid anyway and is ready, maturity wise, for a booster...

    RSTV question

    So, I'm seeing this being recommended all over the boards and am curious. I've been trying to make sure we could fit 3 across in our cars and have determined that I can probably do 2 Radians in the Matrix + a Frontier 85 for the older kiddo (who would be 5 when we would do this). Then do the...

    A personal story - car seats saved my children.

    Well, properly installed and used car seats saved my children. Hi, I'm Katie. Mom to 2 boys, 3 1/2 and 10 months. Long time lurker (you guys intimidate me!). I'm a parent, not a tech. I have always, always been big on car safety - I refuse to even turn the car on until everyone in my car...

    Trick to tightening the RadianXTSL

    I have no problem adjusting it for my 3 1/2 year old who is FF but I cannot for the life of me do it with the 10 month old RF. Is there some trick I'm not getting? It's been fine for ever b/c I adjusted it before the seat was installed but I loosened it b/c he grew and did it too much and now...

    Carseat rec for a 5 year old.

    Sorry, I guess I'm a newbie post whore. I'm a major planner though and need to figure this car seat thing out before we TTC our third (IF!) :) I think I've decided I'll skip a bucket seat for the 3rd. We had a Graco safeseat but we were in an accident so that is out the window. My youngest...

    Car seat rec for IL's

    Recently my BIL picked out a seat for the IL's to use for his daughter. We were at their house this past weekend and my son wanted to ride with Grandma and Grandpa to go to dinner and MIL said it was fine since the seat was in her car. She put him in and I went to give him a kiss bye (and...
