    need help with my true fit!

    I love this seat in a lot of ways for my 16 month old, however really hate how much space their is on either side of his head. every time when he falls asleep he leans way over. This is a problem because it causes his head to fall foward in a very uncomfortable looking position, and if he...

    True Fit shoulder straps too wide

    My son is 14 months. We took a longer than usual car ride today, and I noticed that when he fell asleep, he slightly leaned to one side (naturally), and the shoulder strap on one shoulder was falling off. If he's perfectly centered, they fit fine. He is rear-facing. straps are tight...

    Need a spare convertible for hubby's truck

    My hubby and I alternate work days, and it's a pain to keep switching vehicles b/c he often needs his truck for errands. So, looking for an inexpensive convertible for my 6 month old. I thought about the Scenara, but it has no padding or EPS foam at all...how can that be comfortable...

    question about RFing a 3yr old

    as you can see in my signature, my 3 year old is FF in a Nautilus (been that way since about 2y 4 m). I also have a Radian 80, and we did some car seat switching around since we needed spares for my hubby's truck. So, she is now using the Nautilus FFing in hubby's truck, and I put her FF in...

    Backless booster vs. HBB question

    I recently went back to work part-time, and we have spare seats for the younger two, but have been moving my son's booster back and forth between me and my husbands car. I often forget, and leave him home without a booster for my son, so he's stuck home. He has a Graco Turbobooster for my van...

    Where do I tether a rear-facing car seat?

    I drive a 2006 Dodge Grand Caravan. The tether hook is on the back of the captains chair. So, in a rear-facing install, would the tether strap then come up over the child's head and hook over to the back of the captains chair?

    Will Radian 80 fit behind Dodge Caravan Drivers Seat?

    rear-facing? is it allowed to touch the back of the drivers seat? there's a used one I'm considering buying from a reputable source, and just wondered if anyone here knew before I took the time to go try and install myself.

    Roundabout or Tru Fit for 6 month old?

    I have both of these seats, but have never used them with an infant. Is one better than the other for safety and comfort? ease of rear-facing install? My True Fit does not have the ARB, if that matters, and I don't think it can be tethered RFing. Thanks!!!

    anyone worry about car seat damage during shipping?

    I just always wondered this. Most manufacturer's recommend replacing seats in any crash...so that would mean minor fender benders, minor rear-end, etc. What do you think these seats endure during shipping? I have to imagine they are thrown about, tossed, dropped...probably worse that what...

    I'm driving myself crazy- please help me decide.

    DD is turning two next month. She's 21/22 lbs and 32". I can't decide between the RA 55 or the True Fit! (we crashed the car, hence the new seat). I bought the RA55...love the easy harness, love the easy install (for transfer to DH's truck). I don't love that there's not much leg room for...

    Bought a seat from BuyBuyBaby...and it was used!

    So, about a month ago I bought a TrueFit from BuyBuyBaby. After using it for a week or so, decided I didn't like it so returned it (90 day return policy there). Today, I decided I did in fact want the True Fit, so I go back to the store, and buy one. Got home and opened it up and to my...

    Convince me the Scenara is safe for a spare seat?

    Ok, I know it's safe according to federal standards....but I'm used to EPS foam, etc. Picked this up from Target today for a spare, and for the nearly 3 year old I babysit. I was surprised to find no foam whatsoever between the plastic and the cover. Is this seat even comfy for kids? If...

    How is the fit on these booster seats?

    So, as you might know we were rear-ended. I replaced DS's Nautilus, but now am wondering if i should just get him a good booster (he'll be five in July and sits GREAT in a booster). I've heard the nauti might not make a great booster- so if that's the case it wouldn't make sense for me to...

    Has anyone had Auto-Owners Insurance replace crashed seats? Please help.

    I had three seats, a Nautilus, and two Roundabouts that were in a rear-end crash (all occupied). I meet the NSTSA requirements to replace all of them. Aut0-Owners says they are considered personal property, despite being installed in the car and are refusing to pay for replacements. I did...

    Would you use these seats after a crash?

    I drive Dodge Grand Caravan. DS was in the Nautilus in captains chair passenger side (replaced his seat already). Nephew was in Roundabout 40 in captains chair behind driver (RFing...he's 12 months). DD was in the back bench seat in a Roundabout 40 (she's 1 1/2). We were rear-ended while...

    Daycare girl...OK to use my son's FF seat without lowering the straps one notch?

    My son has a Nautilus. he's almost five and over 40 lbs. I babysit a little girl...who technically should be on the FF slots one lower than my son is. For example today, we just made a quick trip to the library before picking my son up from preschool...so I put her in his seat. I know...

    Anyone find the True Fit to be too wide for toddler?

    I know I'm asking lots of questions lately- so bear with me. I'll decide soon, I promise. So- has anyone found the True Fit to be TOO roomy? My DD is almost two, just 21 lbs and 32". I love the leg room, but the Roundabout hugs her better (although will it be too tight when she's...

    Britax Onyx Fabric too hot?

    Can someone tell me if this pattern gets really hot in the summer? I like it compared to the plush for the fact that I can easily wipe it down if something gets spilled on it....but if it gets too hot compared to the plush, I'll switch and just really limit what is allowed to eat in the car...
