    Booster for Prius (2004) or CRV (2008)

    I need to get a booster for DS. He's nearly 7.5 years old, 46lbs, 46" - he's lean and all legs. We have a Parkway SG (non-latch version) and DS complains the headrest is too hard, not enough padding. We'll keep the Parkway, but need another booster for DH's car. DS is still in a Recaro Como...

    Booster seat for 7 year old

    DS will be 7 soon and he's got maybe 6 months left in the Recaro Como in DH's car (he's short torsoed so still fits harness). He's been in a Parkway SG booster in my car for about 6 months and does will in it. I'm starting to think about which booster to get for DH's car. DS is about...

    Will the new guidelines from AAP and NHTSA change state law

    So we have new guidelines, but it's not the law. In CA it's 12 and 20 and no car seat after 6 years old. How long before we can expect the laws to be changed to reflect the new NHTSA and AAP guidelines? DS is 6 and in K and some parents are foregoing car seats. We've had 2 playdates and...

    Min. weight for new Rider Safe Travel Vest - 30lbs or 35lbs?

    I thought the new version of the Rider Safe Travel Vest had a min. weight of 30lbs. On elite car seats, it says 35lbs. Which is it? Thanks.

    Does turbo/parkway require high seat back? Which seat is lightest to carry?

    I'm trying to work out what booster to use at my parents on our next visit to Australia. One option was to buy a booster there, the Australian version of the Parkway, but all the Safe-n-Sound (Britax) boosters have a requirement that when in the booster, the child's eyes can not be above the...

    Australian booster seats

    We're visiting my parents when DS is 6 years old. DS no longer fits the convertible seat that we used to take for DS to use in my parents cars. I don't want to take my Como or Safeguard as they weigh a tonne, we have an awful connection to make and I'm doubting I could muscle either into the...

    Q. about Como latch clips

    I was readjusting the harness on our Como and noticed that the alligator Latch clips were in the open position that is the "teeth part" of the connector was raised up. If I push the red button, they don't move, they stay open. I had to also put our Safeguard back in the car and the teeth...

    Travel pillow for plane

    DS is no longer in a car seat on the plane, and I'm looking for a comfortable travel pillow for him. Also, he did complain at the end of the 2 hour flight of his bottom hurting from sitting down. In nearly 5 years of taking the car seat on the plane, DS has never complained about being...

    Carry-on bag that will fit the Safeguard Go

    And yes, I know that the GO has it's own bag. We just got back from visiting family, and the GO worked out great, except that DH HATES the bag it comes with. He couldn't lengthen the strap as long as he wanted, and you can't attach your own strap - the carry strap is sewn on to one end of the...

    Safeguard GO fits as carry-on luggage??

    We're traveling tomorrow, and I'm taking the Safeguard GO. The plan was for DS and I to have a backpack, and I'll also have the GO as my carry-on. Has anyone had any trouble with taking it on the plane - not being allowed to, or it not fitting in the over head bin. Thanks.

    What I saw at preschool field trip

    A lot of Marathons for 4 year olds, yay! A few boosters too. I had DS in a RSTV center, another child in my Safeguard Go and one in a parkway. He told me it was his sister's seat. His 4 and about 40lbs, so I let him use it in my car, but I locked the seatbelt on him. I checked and he was...

    Driving for preschool field trip

    I volunteered to drive for DS's preschool field trip, most kids are 4 years old. I've never taken kids in boosters and I KNOW, I'm going to get some boostered kids. Anything I can do or say to keep the kids in better position? I'm going to ask DS's preschool teacher to remind all the parents...

    Which car seat for road trip?

    We're planning a road trip, it'll be 3-4 days of driving to family - we're going to take the scenic route. I was thinking of putting the Como in my car rather than use the Safeguard. We don't use the Como headrest pillows. It'll be passenger outboard, I do have side curtain airbags. The...

    Remove insert in Nautilus?

    Can my friend take the insert out of the Nautilus? I saw her son in it today and it pulls the harness straps below his shoulders. She has the right harness slot but they then have it threaded through the insert and that pulls the straps down and then up over his shoulders. I told her I...

    Question about fit of Rider Safe Travel Vest

    We got our small Rider Safe Travel vest today. DS is 4.5 yo and just meets the 35lb and 38" minimum weight limit. He does have a short torso. When I put the crotch buckle on, I can't adjust it snugly. I need more velcro than what is on the strap for it to be snug. When I have the crotch...

    Will this work for DS when 6 yo

    I've posted before about needing a travel seat once DS is too big for the Uptown. He's about 35lbs, 39" and 4.5 yo. I think we're good in the Uptown until the end of the year. I got a Safeguard Go that we like and will work for us here in the USA - all family we visit or rental cars have the...

    Safeguard GO - installation questions

    I have a few questions about the Safeguard GO. I installed it today in my car with the seatbelt, as I'll have to do that in my parents' car. I wanted to practice before I get to their house. Is it OK for the latchplate of the seat belt to be like this - it's between the buckle and the arm...
