    Survey: how long did your kids rear-face?

    My kids have always been on the tiny side. My eldest is now 9.5 and was rear-facing in a 33lb Britax convertible until he was 4 when he reached that weight limit. My daughter who is now 7.5 was rear-facing until she was 5 when she also hit 33lbs. My youngest is 5.5, in kindergarten, and is still...

    Who's got their LATCH manual handy?

    I'm trying to help out a family who just got a "new to them" car and are trying to install their Regent. Right now it has to be installed using the LBP since the child is under 40lbs. Dad says there isn't enough seatbelt, but I told him I'd take a look it at since many times there is *just...

    Help...kids escaping harness

    I have several parents asking me for advice regarding their Houdini kids who are pushing down on the chest clip, pushing their arms through the middle of the harness and getting the straps off of the their shoulders. Apparently one mother noticed it when her child came up to her while she was...

    He's officially FF today!!!!

    My first-born will be 4 in exactly 2 weeks and I'd hoped he'd make it to 4 RF, but no such luck. We weighed him yesterday with his clothes on and the scale read 34 POUNDS :eek: So of course I had to rip out his and his sister's seats to rearrange them in the van and turn him around. My baby...

    Evenflo Titan arrows on harness???

    I have friend who has "borrowed" a seat from another friend for one of her daycare kids. She no longer has the manual and is wondering what the deal is with the arrows on the harness that point downward for rear-facing and upward for forward-facing. Can someone with some experience shed some...

    Crash test footage/Safety videos that are actual files

    I'm giving an audio/visual car seat safety presentation at a preschool next week and I most likely won't have internet access. So I'm looking for any crash test footage or safety videos that are files that can be downloaded rather than just viewed via the internet. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE "The...

    Why does harness have to be at or below for rear and vice versa for forward?

    So when I took the course I got the new curriculum where they cut out all the "unnecessary" fluff about crash dynamics, etc to shorten the course. I understand the difference in crash forces for a rear-facing vs. a forward-facing child but where did the harness "rules" come from? I'd like to...

    Recaro seats and LATCH

    Quick question...do the Como and Signo come with the fancy push-button release hooks like Britax? Or are they the simple, yet annoying, hook that you find on most economy brands? TIA

    I was wondering if anyone has any info in writing regarding the new standard when traveling by plane with children in car seats? Normally when we travel, DH and I sit in separate rows and each of us has a child in a car seat by the window since the attendants still insist that car seats by the...

    Mixed feelings regarding Britax CS

    In the end I finally got what I wanted, which was for Britax to offer to switch out my DC for a BV or MA - I chose a BV. But all the crap I had to go through was such a pain. They've had my seat for almost a month only to determine that they were "unable to replicate the problem I was...

    Any techs in the Portland, OR area???

    The story is that DH and I flew into CA for wedding a few months back and DH's cousin's (lives in Portland) and expectant girlfriend (lives in CA) were due in 2 weeks. We had planned for me to help them with their car seat install at which point I was going to educate them on the whole ERF and...

    Any advice regarding Decathlon and harness adjuster???

    So I called Britax today about our DC. I can't deal with how difficult it is too loosen anymore. It was fine when DS was in the seat since he's 3 and could get himself in and out of the seat. I rarely ever had to loosen or tighten the straps. I did notice that after the repair kit was added...

    Helping a KDMF recipient family with a Regent in a 2002 Civic tomorrow. Child is under 40lbs, so LBP must be used. I have no experience installing the Regent in a Civic using the LBP, so I'm wondering if this will be an easy install or a tricky one. Any advice, suggestions, and tips are...

    Regent install on bench seat in 2002 Caravan

    I helped a friend move her child's Regent from the middle 3rd row, to the 2nd row bench seat. Upon doing so it seemed like the seat hung over the edge of the bench seat too much (estimating about 3in). I kno w 80% needs to be in contact, but just by eye-balling it it looks like only 70% is in...
