    Cleaning my Foonf

    I know you can wipe clean the Foonf, but what happens if you've got a really messy mess? DS had an accident, like peed a gallon, in his Foonf....a week ago :( I pulled it out of the van and installed his backup quickly because we were in the middle of running errands. Since the other seat has...

    If you chould choose any seat....

    So due to an unfortunate discovery this week, the classic MA I was planning to use FF for our our then 4 yo, 32 lb-er this December on our vacation is trashed. (mold:( ) So I'm in the market for a new seat (we need a backup anyways). If you could chose any seat in the world, within reason...

    Traveling on airplanes

    The fam is treating us all to a trip to Orlando this Christmas with a day or two at Disney to boot. I know it's safer to bring car seats on the plane so my plan for this trip will be to bring the Tribute and classic MA for the boys (one will be RF at 2 and the other FF at 4) My question for...

    Cheapest back-up seat with built-in lock-offs?

    I'm looking for a back-up seat for the 1 year-old. But if I've learned anything about my preferences and putting car seats in my van it's that built-in lockoffs make installing rear-facing in the 3rd row loads easier. (plus my dad's SUV is older and has ELR only) What's the least expensive...

    Question Replacement covers for Kiddy Cruiserfix Pro?

    I just ordered the Kiddy Cruiserfix Pro in Rumba for my daughter. Got a coupon code for it and used some amazon points and got it at a great price. I love it, but when we ordered the color on our screen from Amazon had it looking like a gorgeous dark pink. Looked at Kiddy's website again...

    Question Want to RF my son through winter. Where do I go from here?

    Background: Currently I have a 5 yo DD in a Frontier FF. DS1 RF in a size4me, and the baby RF in a classic MA. DS was in the RF'd classic MA, but was getting close to outgrowing it and since the baby did outgrow his Chap I needed to pass down the classic MA to the baby. I got a great deal on...

    Question CA 65 vs. Size4Me 70 for FF?

    Title says it all. Compare and contrast ease of use, length of average child's use, crash test performance, fabric wearability :)

    News Anyone have a link for me?

    After seeing this report on the news this morning: http://www.fox11online.com/dpp/news/local/green_bay/dot-stresses-importance-of-child-safety I contacted the station on their FB page to complain about the use of the word MUST when talking about who NEEDS to be RF and FF and such. Because it...

    Discuss Convertible options

    Discuss combination options DD, 4 years, is outgrowing Grandma's seat. Grandma drives a small Saturn car but we've never had problems with space in the back. Grandma's car has LATCH and she finds it easiest to install with it so if I can find something that will allow her to use it for awhile...

    Question Any others with experience or advice? (Chaperone + Stroller)

    My new baby came a couple weeks ago, and just a couple weeks before then was the arrival of my Britax Chaperone. I didn't even think about stroller compatibility because a) I have a couple and figured if one didn't work at least one of the others would b) I have 8 different baby carriers and...

    Question Booster seat for 9 y.o. in WI/IL?

    I have a very good friend who doesn't have any children of her own, but is watching a couple of her nephews from out of town next week. She asked me for advice about using a booster for her youngest nephew but b/c my kids aren't that old yet I'm kind of clueless. He's 9, but she's estimating...

    Shuttle 33

    Anyone have experience with this infant seat? A couple things I'm wanting to know about include if they fit easily front to back behind a tall driver, if they are cumbersome to carry around with the attached AR bar, and how well they fit small newborns-like 6-7 lbs.

    Question What would you do? Infant seats

    So I'm trying to figure out what the best options are for me and my van and my baby Sprout due this October. I was originally drawn to the Chaperone due to the AR bar. My plan was to take out my middle passenger captains chair in my '04 Odyssey, put DD in her Frontier in the 3rd row...

    I am so super excited and DH just rolls his eyes at me. I knew you guys/girls would understand my positive energy about getting new car seats/covers-and how I did it :D I got a killer of a deal on a cowmoo frontier for dd (who will be 4 in a month and is amazingly gaining weight for the first...

    Vent I just don't understand the logic

    So an acquaintance of mine posted the other day a picture of her 2.5 yo in a convertible RF on FB the other day with a caption that read something like this. "We only have one carseat in dh's car, and I was being lazy, so rear facing she went!". She doesn't normally RF her daughter even...

    Rightstart.com

    Has anyone ever ordered from Rightstart.com before? They are currently having a sale on Britax and a coupon code Britax20 to take another 20% off so I could order DD's new cowmoo frontier for just over $175. But I'm a stickler for carseats and if I can't return it with free shipping or if...

    Question Why no home-made car seat covers

    I know that it's not ok to make your own or purchase and use home-made car seat covers. And I know that they aren't fire-retardant, tested, or guaranteed to be shaped and perform like the ones that are made by the manufacturer. But is there a website that lists these things out? Something I...

    Question Where to purchase cover for cs MA

    I have a classic marathon that I'm handing down from my dd to my ds. Normally I get everything GN, but this one has a yellow floral (Ashley) pattern and it's really bothering me to put ds in it everyday. I'd love to find a cover for it that is more boy-ish, like cowmooflage, or freedom, or...

    Question TFP in '04 Honda Odyssey

    So I just tried putting my TFP in the 2nd row bucket seat, I believe it's called a captain's seat, on the passenger side. I tried to install it using LATCH rf. I've had problems with my seats just being so darn squishy for one of my previous seats. This one I had to basically crawl in it and...
