    Narrow high back booster with rigid LATCH for 2012 Odyssey center middle (plus one) seat

    I'm looking for a narrow high back booster for my 7 year old in the middle middle seat in my 2012 Odyssey. It will be between two Britax Frontiers with the van's seats in wide mode. Key features I'm looking for are: Rigid LATCH (because that seems to help a lot in this position) Doesn't need...

    Belt fit check please: 2012 Odyssey, Clek Olli, center middle (plus one) seat

    I am hoping to have my 10 year old in the middle middle seat of our 2012 Odyssey in a Clek Olli (which is narrow enough to allow the left and right seat to slide forward and which installs nicely with rigid LATCH). I'm not sure about the belt fit, though. Is this ok? I'm sure I saw a thread...

    Seat belt pulling at angle to fixed buckle in Grand Caravan captain's chair -- safe?

    I'm installing a Britax Frontier in a captain's chair of a 2016 Dodge Grand Caravan (rental). The buckle stalk isn't much of a stalk, the buckle is rigidly fixed and the seat belt isn't pulling straight out from the buckle like it would with a flexible buckle stalk (see photo). I think this is...

    FF harness seat for Odyssey middle middle seat

    I have a 2012 Odyssey, and until yesterday used a Clek Foonf FF in the middle middle / jump seat / plus one seat. Yesterday it was damaged in an accident and I need to replace it (at insurance company expense). I love the Foonf's secure installation in this tricky position and that it's...

    Frontier G1.1 in 2011+ Odyssey 2nd row captain's chairs -- tether question

    Short version: If I put a Frontier G1.1 ClickTight in the 2nd row captain's chair of a 2012 Odyssey, will the VersaTether behave itself and stay on top of the seat back, or will it slip off the edges of the van's seat? Long version: I have Britax Frontier 85s in my 2012 Odyssey 2nd row...

    Foonf FF in Odyssey middle middle multifunction jump seat?

    I think this is a dumb question, but I've searched threads here and read a bunch of reviews and I haven't found anything that comes right out and says: the Foonf installs front facing in the 2011+ Honda Odyssey 2nd row center with latch + seat belt. Can anyone conform? Thanks.

    Forward facing seat for Odyssey middle middle position

    I am looking for a forward-facing harness seat for the middle second row position in a 2012 Odyssey. This is for a 4 year old who is about 42" and 40 lbs. and of course I don't want her to outgrow it right away. A front-facing convertible is ok if that's the best choice. This seat will be...

    Britax Boulevard Anti-rebound bar (US)?

    Reviews of the Boulevard ClickTight (US version) said that there would be an anti-rebound bar available in early 2015. 2015 is now almost half over and I can't find any more information about it. Anybody know when the anti-rebound bar will be available, or has it been scrapped for the US market?

    Car seat on plane for 42 pound child?

    We're going to be flying with our 3 kids and I'm not exactly sure how to handle the car seats on the plane. My biggest question is for my 42 pound, almost 4 year old. The FAA says kids over 40 lbs don't need a car seat, but I'm wondering if she could/should use her seat (a Evenflo Titan 65)...

    Does this booster fit?

    I got a Harmony Folding Travel Booster for my 6.5 year old (48" tall) for an upcoming air/rental car trip. We have never used a booster seat before and I'm not sure this fit is good. Is the lap belt too much on her belly? Please tell me what you think. Thank you!

    Is it common/safe to use locking belt retractor with booster seats?

    I am new to booster seats. I noticed in the instructions for two models (both made by Harmony) that they recommend (but do not require) that the seat belt retractor be locked. This really surprised me. Is this common, and in any case is it a good idea? My understanding (which could be wrong)...

    Please help me pick 3 seats for air/rental car travel

    My family is going on a long weekend air + rental mini van trip and I need some help figuring out the car seats. My kids ride in seats that I am not interested in taking along, and I think I would rather buy seats for the trip than try to rent from the car rental company. My priorities are for...

    Question Do boosters work well in 2011-2014 Odyssey second row middle?

    Do boosters (high back or backless) tend to work well in the narrow second row middle seats in current (2011-2014) Honda Odysseys? None of my kids are in boosters yet; just trying to figure out my car seat plan for the future. Thanks for any experiences you can share.

    Question Foonf owners: Have you removed the cover/harness from a Foonf to clean up a big mess?

    I am thinking about buying a Clek Foonf, but I am concerned about cryptic/conflicting information about removing the cover for cleaning. Also I believe the harness is replaceable but I would love to hear from someone who has actually removed it or at least figured out how it would be removed (I...

    Convertible seat for tall 1 year old in Odyssey: Boulevard, Nextfit, True Fit, or other?

    My very tall (95th percentile height, but only 25th for weight) almost 1 year old son is outgrowing his Keyfit 30 and we need to find a convertible seat. We have had older model Boulevards for our two daughters, but they weren't as tall as our son. This seat will be used in a 2012 Honda...

    Why can't Britax convertible be tethered RF to second row seat attachment points?

    I have a 2012 Honda Odyssey and need to put a convertible seat in the second row. I have read several times here that Britax convertibles can't be tethered Sweedish-style under the seat that the car seat is on. But when I read the instructions for the Boulevard (online, haven't bought a seat...

    Frontier 85 in '12 Odyssey middle middle seat: top tether goes around sides of seat back?

    I'm trying to install a Britax Frontier 85 in the center row middle seat of a '12 Odyssey. I'm using the short belt path, which seems to work ok, but because the back of the Odyssey's seat is so narrow the top tether strap wants to go around the sides of the seat rather than over the top (the...

    Expiration date for Keyfit 30 BASE?

    We're expecting our third child soon and have purchased a new Keyfit 30 because our old one is expiring in 6 months and we will be using an infant seat longer than that. I was planning on using the base from the old seat as a second base in the other car, but I see that it has the same...

    Please help with Frontier 85 seat belt install in '12 Odyssey 2nd row captain's chair

    Last night I installed a Britax Frontier 85 (harness mode) in the second row passenger side of our '12 Odyssey. It's nice and secure but I'm still not quite happy with it. This post is kind of long, but the short version is: should I use the long belt path, and if so is it ok that the belt is...

    Question Britax Click & Safe: Good, bad, or indifferent?

    Not sure if I should get a Boulevard or Pavilion, the only difference being the Click & Safe feature. Any advice? I don't need C&S, but if I get a Pavilion because of cover preference will I regret it because the C&S is annoying? I have a bad impression of it because when it first came out I...
