    Beginning our preowned minivan search

    Our options obviously depend on what's available within a certain mile radius but I'm curious to receive feedback regarding YES WAY or NO WAY NO HOW opinions in terms of the real life practicality for ease of fitting/using 5 safety seats for various kids ranging in age from 0-6+ (the only...

    Question Long torso'd newborn in Keyfit30

    Babysaurus is only 5 days old (8 lbs 9 oz, 21.5" at birth) & the shoulder straps easily slip off ... this seems to be happening because we're using the first slots which appear to be well below his armpits? I haven't fit a real live newborn in a seat for almost a decade, since before I...

    Question Keyfit and/or Coccoro in Silverado, plus Radian in Taurus

    We're hoping to buy a 2008 Chevy Silverado (extended cab) & I hear the Coccoro might fit RF in the rear? It isn't available anywhere locally that I can find to try out when we get to test driving trucks, so hopefully someone here has tried it? Also, until we can afford a Coccoro, will the...

    Question '08 Chevy Silverado centet seatbelt?

    Is it still a lap-only belt? (regular cab, no backseat) Does the passenger side airbag disable? Curious because the daddysaurus is looking to buy a work truck, but might have both kids once in a while & babysaurus can't go RF center.

    Question Stroller comparison help

    It appears that both the Kolcraft Universal 2 & Baby Trend Snap-n-Go fit the Chicco Keyfit? The Kolcraft seems to be rated slightly higher, but costs a bit less so I'm leaning that way. Is there any big reason I might prefer the Snap-n-Go instead? :confused: We will most likely carry baby for...

    Question Oobr vs. Monterey

    I've used the search feature, but my phone internet just isn't that cooperative. DD still had growing room in her Monterey but had an incredibly nasty pukage experience in it :sick: I just could not get the smell out & since I'm one of those pregnant ladies who has "morning" sickness my entire...

    Mercury Milan, DOM unknown -- 3 across

    How might the lower LATCH anchors be located in this car? Might there be adjustable headrests in all 3 backseat positions? It has Switchable Locking Retractors, yes? This is DD's dad's new gf's car, so I will likely only be able to see the interior when I demand to be able to provide a...

    Clek (Olli/Ozzi?)

    What are the width measurements at the back & from armrest to armrest? I'm hoping it works OK between Britax Husky/Regent & SunshineKids Monterey in '06 Ford Taurus. There seems to be enough room if I could squeeze my li'l hand down between. I'm guessing it might pose less risk of bloody...
