    Question carseats for travel to Iceland

    We're planning a trip to Iceland in June, and I'm wondering what to plan carseat-wise. Ages of kids in June will be 1 and 7. Our (rather big for his age) 7yo is in a harmony NBB at home, so I'm guessing we'll just bring his booster, and hopefully that'll be fine in the car we rent in Iceland...

    Car seat for plane and road trip

    In December we'll be flying back east to visit family. We're flying to Pittsburgh and then driving to many locations in the state (probably at least 20 hours in the car). We're renting a minivan from Hertz -- it said Nissan Quest or similar. My son is 7 and will be in a NBB (that's what he uses...

    Another seat recommendation thread

    It's been some time since I looked at seats, since DS is almost 7, and so I'd like opinions on a second seat for DD for after her keyfit. DD was 3 weeks early and tiny (she's currently 9 weeks and 8.5 lbs), so I have lots of time to decide (although the bucket is my brothers so I may switch her...

    In Search Of boyish frontier 85 cover

    I purchased a frontier 85 with a pink cover from a friend, but since we have all boys I'd love to change the cover to something more boyish. I'd like to either trade the pink for a boyish cover, or if the price is right I might be willing to just buy the boyish cover. I have lots of positive...

    Question Pioneer cover on a frontier 90

    Any chance a pioneer cover would work on a frontier 90? We got the zebra frontier last year when it came out but DS would really like green if it's possible.

    Booster fit check

    I'm in new territory here and just want a few more sets of eyes on this. DS is 4.5 and very big (45" and 45 lbs); he's in a frontier with plenty of room to grow in our main car, but close to outgrowing his radian in our second car at the shoulders. If he didn't sit well when we tested it out I...

    Flight and road trip

    We'll be flying across the country in a few weeks with my 4.5 YO DS. He normally rides in a frontier 90 in my car, and a radian xtsl in DH's car. He is close to outgrowing the radian by seated shoulder height, and about 45" and 45lbs (wears size 6 clothes). I'm trying to decide what to bring...

    WWYD: Radian FF, booster, or new seat?

    My sister turned her son FF last week. She had been using my radian RFing, but we lost the safe stop, and so since my son is 42 pounds I took the radian back and gave her my CA65 for her son. But, much to my chagrin, DS is very close to the top slots. I know that diono permits usage until the...

    Question Bubblebum for one trip with a 4YO

    Im trying to decide what to do tomorrow am, so quick replies would be appreciated. DS is 4YO, 44 lbs, and something like 44" (wears size 5). He normally rides in a frontier, but I have a bubblebum for my nephew. DH scheduled a car appt tomorrow morning (which we desperately need to get done)...

    Frontier 90 buckle position

    I really love DS's frontier 90, except for the buckle position options. He's pretty much right in between the two slots, and since they're so far apart, that means he's about an inch passed the inside one and an inch away from the outside one. Anyways, since the guidance in the manual is to use...

    Advice for a friend

    Just checking on whether I'm up to date on the most highly-recommended convertibles: A friend of mine just had her son (10 weeks early, but he is doing really great). I gave her my infant seat, and then she got one as a shower gift, so she is probably going to return the shower gift one and get...

    Booster training

    When (i.e., at what age, and any other specifics) do you start booster training your kiddos? (Just asking out of curiousity. DS is almost 4 and really big, but he'll fit in his Frontier 90 and CA65 for quite a while yet.)

    A few Frontier 90 questions

    Hi all, I'm looking through the manual for my frontier 90, and for the life of me I can't find the info about when the harness is outgrown. I assume that certain headrest positions are for booster-mode only, but the only things I'm seeing in the manual about outgrowing are harness straps above...

    How would you handle this?

    I am out of town, and yesterday my sister watched DS (3.5, 40 lbs, and 42") bc DH had to work. At one point during the day, she wanted to take them to the park (2min drive), but DH did not leave her a harnessed seat for DS. She texted me to ask if she could put him in a high back (I think it's a...

    Vent A LBB is *not* a safe choice for a 4/5 year old!!

    I know I shouldn't look in cars at daycare dropoff. But my curiosity got the better of me this morning. A woman I know at daycare (we work together in the PTA sometimes) dropped off her 2 and 4/5 year old at the same time I dropped off DS this morning, and on my way out I glanced in her car. She...

    Question Radian xtsl harness pads

    The old style (smaller) harness pads are not mandatory, correct? I looked through the manual and saw nothing about them, but I miss things. I know I saw in a few posts on here that the new, memory foam pad is mandatory ffing.

    Any new info on the britax pinnacle or diono stratofix?

    I'm itching to buy DS a new seat for when he outgrows his radian RFing (in the next few months) because I don't love his radian FFing. I'm thinking one of the britax combination seats will likely be what we get (and not overkill for my 97th + percentile child), but may consider the stratofix...

    So, is he going to make it RFing to four?

    My big DS is still RFing in his radian now at 3 yrs 4 months. Anyone want to guess whether he'll make it to 4? He's ~42"+, 40 lbs (naked), and he has some shell left (pic below). My bet is he's going to max out by weight before October; he's gained in spurts before, and it's been a while since...

    Chicco ...

    ... makes awesome carseats. Seriously. I just installed my first Keyfit 30 (I had a 22 for DS, but a friend got a 30 for her kiddo), and it's so easy. I hope the NextFit is just as easy to install/user friendly!

    Just for fun at target...

    I sat DS (3 and 4 months but big) in all the seats. I was just eyeballing, but it seemed like he'd outgrown a lot of the convertibles (FFing) by shoulder straps -- only the complete air, mysize70, and possibly an evenflo looked like they still had slots above his shoulders. I was most surprised...
