    Tether requirements for GN?

    We are considering a GN as a back-up grandparents HWH seat (with booster use later). However, one grandparent vehicle has no tethers (2000 minivan). Can the GN be used without tether? If so, at all weights?

    Frontier Airlines- Child Saftey Seat restrictions?

    My daughter and I are flying on Frontier Airlines this coming Saturday I am debating whether to carry her Radian80 onboard or to just take the SafeGaurd Go for ground travel and have her sit in the airplane seat. We have flown many times on United, Alaska and Southwest with the Radian and it...

    Advice sought: Radian over-top-slots or HBB?

    My DD just turned 5yo and has undergone a huge growth spurt. He torso is growing everyday (or so it seems). She is currently in Radian seats (R65 in DH vehicle, R80 in mine) and she is still just-below the top slots. But not for long. She has more room in DHs truck because the install is...

    Kia Sportage commercial- WHOA on the car seat use

    Has anyone seen it? They show an adult turning to look at their child in the back seat. Good news- the kid is in a 5-point car seat. Bad news- the harness is so loose and the clip so low that it looks like the kiddo could be thrown from the seat in a collision.:eek: I backed up the...

    Should I get a Regent?

    DD has less than an inch in her MA. We have Radian65 as well (lots of room left in that seat). She loves her MA adn I'll keep her in it as long as we can, but for some reason, the way the MA installs in my Escape, she doesn't have much room left in it. So, I am starting to think about what to...

    Sweet success

    I've been gently nagging a good friend andco-worker to let me take a look at their car seat installation (RA installed FF for 2yo son). She bought a new vehicle in June and I've tried to get out there and take a look at the RA because my friend had told me that it was installed with the...

    How long for a MA plush cover to air dry?

    I decided to finally wash DDs olivia MA cover today after it got good-and-filthy during our 4th of July car trip. But now it is hanging up to dry and I realize that it might take a while to dry... I need to use it in the morning! How long shoudl it take? It is warm (not hot) here today (high...

    Spirit Airlines? Anyone take a carseat onboard?

    We will be flying on Spirit Airlines later this summer and I am curious about the experience with using a carseat onboard. We plan to use DD's Radian onboard adn I would hope not to have an issue but this is a new airline for us.

    Taby Tray... Why not?

    I understand that after-market products are generally not recommended for use with carseats and this tray is a rigid tray (unlike the soft-type one posted a while back). Yet it is a light-weight material. I know I should probably not be considering this item, but DD loves to write and color...

    A little off topic- Teen seatbelt use? Travel safety issues.

    We are going on a long car trip for the 4th and we will spend many hours in the car over 7 days. My 15yo stepson will sit properly in a seatbelt around town and for shorter (less than 2 hour) freeway trips. But then he starts to lean and slump out of position and I worry about keeping him...

    Spinal compression... just wondering

    So, a few recent posts here have me wondering why are we concerned about spinal compression using the Radian over the highest harness slots but not when using a harness like the EZ-On 86-Y type harness? When the EZ-on harness is tethered to a tether anchor that is on the vehicle seat back or on...

    What should I buy??

    Looking for: (1) good safety features (including side-curtain airbags) (2) reasonable fuel efficiency and lower emissions (3) seating for 6-7 (4) good handling and tight turning radius. I currently commute 18 miles each way to the office, 5-6 days a week (90% freeway). DD commutes with me...

    Tell me about the Jane Indy Booster

    I really like the ideaof using the LATCH lower anchors to hold a booster in place in the car and this feature is only available (as far as I know) in the Jane Indy booster. We are nto ready for a booster, but that wont stop me from gathering information well in advance, LOL. So, talk to me...

    Pictures: Harness height comparrison with installed MA, Radian65 & Go!

    This evening, I took pictures of DD in her MA, Go and Radian to show the differences in harness height growing room remaining in each seat. Installation is FF outboard in '02 Ford Escape with LATCH (anchors and tether). In the Marathon, using the top harness slots and DD has about 0.5" to go...

    First time flying w/Radian.

    I flew with my 4yo 34# 40" daughter with the Radian65 this weekend and that seat worked GREAT! It was very easy to install in the plane seats (even the little seats in the Horizon Air Bombardier CRJ aircraft) so much easier than her old RA and it was fantastic for her to be able to use the tray...

    Question about LATCH weight limits

    I drive a '02 Escape and we are shopping for a new car. I was thinking about the Escape hybrid or possible the Edge (I'd like a Freestyle, are they still making them??) Anyway, one thing that I love about Ford is the high LATCH (48 lb) and tether-only (60-80 pounds) limits. I absolutely love...
