    I'm looking for a booster seat for a 5.5 year old. His current seat expires this year, so I'd like to purchase one in the next few months. He's currently 40 lbs, not sure on height, but he's short, he does, however, have a long torso. It will be in an older envoy and ford f150, possibly a...

    need a narrow seat for a tight squeeze

    How does the harmony defender compare to an older radian 1 00 as far as width? I am trying to fit 3 in the back of a malibu and I know a radian works. However, I need to replace the radian. I don't mind buying a new Diono seat for a 4 year old, but he is already forward facing and a defender...

    Britax- Kaleidoscope

    So, I have not been able to see a new britax seat in person. Is the kaleidoscope pattern too girly or is it gender neutral? Online, I really like it, but its hard to tell from a monitor if it is neutral enough. Though, real life pictures would be appreciated! Also, how do the new click tight...

    Question radian refresher...

    Can someone please refresh my memory on using an older radian 100 with super latch. Can I use latch regardless of my child's weight or do I need to use the seat belt once my child reaches 48lbs or a combined weight of 65? If it matters, it is in a 2008 (or so) chevy silverado crew cab truck...

    pinnacle v. frontier, no tether?

    Are the side impact things on the pinnacle a big deal? We do not have side airbags in our car, so I thought maybe the pinnacle might offer some added side impact protection. Or do they make any difference? Also, we do not have enough top tethers. How does the pinnacle/nautilus perform without...

    Question how close is too close?

    My son weighs less than I thought! He weighed 31 lbs at the doctor today (clothes and shoes on) instead of 35+ like I thought. I weighed him again at home and he was at 30 here too. Should I rear face him in his true fit a little longer or is he too close to the limit?
