    Graco Question

    I have seen two pics on facebook, looked like both were a Nautilus. The straps were threaded through the red guides under the headrest. I can't think this is right for any seat. Is there something I don't know about any Graco seat that would explain this??? TIA

    Question Check FR85 Belt Fit

    I think the booster fits DD great, but I wanted to post a pic and make sure I didn't miss anything. I was so hesitant to change her but is seems to fit better than she did in the harness. She tended to try to scoot her bottom away from the seat back in the harness TIA!

    Question Frontier in booster mode Q

    Can I borrow latch and put the Frontier in the center if I am in booster mode? I guess I am just wondering if it matters since the only thing I am really doing is keeping the booster put when DD isn't in the seat?

    Question FR85 LBP install in '08 Dodge Ram Quad

    Is the '08 Ram Quad Cab completely incompatible with the FR85 LBP install? I tried and tried and could only get about 1 inch from the buckle in both the middle and outboard. Anyone else successful? I don't feel like the SBP is as solid. It seems like the seat belts come out too low. I am...

    Question LBP install of Frontier in '03 Explorer?

    I had no prob getting a LBP install outboard, but can't for the life of me get a LBP install in the middle. I can only do SBP. I don't like it because the seat belt pulls up on the carseat making it leeeaannn to the passenger side. Just wondering if anyone had managed it so I can try, try...

    Vent Allstate Commercial

    Anyone seen the Allstate commercial about the ULTRA-safe parents as it shows their WAY too young baby forward facing, wearing a winter coat with the low chest clip? My 2c, shouldn't an insurance company keep up with NHTSA recommendations? Maybe it is just me but it makes me NUTS!

    Question Tethering to buckles?

    I was perusing the successful 3 across thread and came across a pic of seats tethered to the buckles in the row behind them. I have never seen this in all my zillion hours of car seat obsessing. How does this work? Is it common practice? Just want to know what I have been missing all this...

    Question Leaning Frontier Q

    I know that some leaning is ok but it makes me crazy to look in the mirror and see the seat leeeaaaannnning to the right. I bought a locking clip today and was wondering if I could fix it with that since I thought maybe it is the shoulder belt making it lean. Can you tell me exactly what to do...
