    Affordable suggestions for Caravan

    Hi guys, long time no post. I have a friend who drives a 2013 Caravan. She needs to get new seats for both of her girls and she's on a tight budget. DD 1 is 3.5 years old, ff, 38 3/4 inches tall and 33lbs. DD 2 just turned 2 and is rfing, 37 inches tall, and 21lbs. She's outgrowing her...

    Where does everyone sit?

    I have a friend with a truck. She told me today that when she takes all 4 of her kids out in it along with her husband, they sit the oldest (I think he's 8 and 70lbs) in the front with the lap belt. There is no airbag in that position. Would it be legal (and more safe) to put the 9 week old...

    60/40 2014 Kia Sedona

    I've been searching the boards and have seen a lot of comments saying Dionos are not compatible in the center of the back row of Sedonas. I haven't found if that's ff or rfing - and what exactly the issue is. Ultimately I'd like to fold down the 40 split in the back and put a ff radian rxt in...

    What to do?!?!

    Car seat nightmares? Anyway, right now I'm going to squish between a MR65 (rfing) and a Diono RXT (ffing) in the back row of the car until the baby is able to hold her own bottle. The MR65 expires Dec 2016 and we always rent a car in the summer for a road trip - usually get a Caravan but...

    LBB good idea?

    I have another baby due in a month. My dad offered to come pick my son up and take him to school some mornings. We moved DS in to a Parkway a few months ago and he's doing great with it. I've never had to remind him to sit properly. Anyway, the drive from our house to school is at most a 4...

    FF Harness for 2014 Kia Forte?

    Hi! I just found out a friend was in a car accident and bought a booster for her 50lb 3.5yo. He's 3ft tall. Once I spoke with her she's willing to re-harness. Since I'm in Canada I have no idea what she should get as far as a new seat is concerned. Her budget is $100 to $150. Thanks!

    Angle Adjuster Install Question

    Do I get the seat tight along the belt path BEFORE I put the angle adjuster under the RXT? I watched a Diono brand youtube video and the lady just says to make sure it's tight after.... Will it make a difference in the install if I make it tight ahead of time and just double check after?

    Do Parkways ever go on sale?

    I'm in Canada and I've noticed there's been a HUGE clear out of the Britax convertibles lately - they're on sale everywhere. But I don't need one of those. I need a Parkway. Do they ever go on sale and/or have I missed the sale for this year? Thanks guys!

    Seat suggestions?

    Hi! I have a friend in California who has an 18mo who is about 37/38lbs. He's also very tall. She would like to ERF him and since I'm in Canada I'm not very familiar with her options. She also says this: "I have an issue with the carseat sliding back... I make it as tight as it can go but...

    MEC Yeti jacket?

    Does anyone know if it's thin enough to use in a car seat? If not, what else would you recommend from their site for a 4yo? TIA!

    Booster question (planning ahead)

    We won't be boostering any day soon, but i just have a couple questions: 1 - Can I fit either a Parkway or a Monterey rfing with 2 Radian RXTs (one ff, one rfing) 3 across in most minivans? 2 - Does either the Parkway or the Monterey seem to be better for kids for sleeping in? Thanks!

    Seat suggestions

    I have a friend in Oregon who drives a 2003 Pontiac Grand Prix. She needs to buy a new seat for her 15mo. He is currently ff (she knows the benefits of rfing but her husband doesn't care - hopefully the pedi tells him tomorrow that it's better for him to be rfing). Anyway... they're on a very...

    What next?

    DS will be 4 in the summer and he's on the top slots of his RXT. His shoulders are almost level with them, so I know that a new seat is not too far off - probably in the fall for sure. What should I be looking at? Are the top slots on a Frontier any higher?

    Touching front seat?

    My friend has a basic 2007 Jeep Patriot. She has a Safety 1st Onside air that she is trying to install rfing in the center position of the car, and she says it's touching the corner of the front passenger seat. Is this okay? Does her seat have to be installed at a 45 degree angle or can she...
