    Am I silly for wishing the Nautilus could rear face?

    I just got back from a trip to Washington. A friend (and NURSE!) Had her 10 month old daughter FF in a Nautilus. My 22 month old daughter (same size) So wants to FF in the Nautilus, she loves that seat. However, I keep her RF in the Scenera. I would love for the Nauti to be a RF seat as well...

    Where is the cheapest "local" place to get a turbo booster?

    Where is the cheapest place to get a Graco Turbobooster in a brick and mortar store? Kmart has them for $39.99 but won't honor that price in store. Anyone know of any deals?

    So... I got a 15% off coupon for a Nautilus today at BRU, ended up being $164. (Fine, I paid $20 for Mariposa over the Amazon one). It really is easy to install. Not QUITE as easy as a Marathon, but I love the harness adjuster! It works great! It installed just fine in the back row of my...

    Another question about Scenera...

    You guys got me thinking again... I don't have a noodle under mine. There is a gap. It is very solid install. I had to recline the seat, install, and bring the seat back up. I can slide my fingers under the bottom of the seat where it connects to the back of the seatback, but it is secure. Do...

    I've got 3 daughters. Yes, no boys. So I am wanting to go pink. Not Daisy Pink. That is like bubble gum throw up. Mariposa is good. But... What fabric feels the best? And, where is the cheapest place to buy on in the next few weeks? Erika

    Am I insane? second guessing

    Okay, I am not an indecisive person. I just am feeling like I don't want to sell my Marathon for a Nauti. Is that weird? Why am I nervous about this? Why am I so attached to having two Marathons? I've got a buyer for $125. It is a 3 year old seat. I just have a kid that can still use it...

    Trade Marathon for Nautilus?

    So, I have two offers on my 3 year old Marathon for $125. I can get a Nautilus for not a lot more.... I can keep the 2 marathons. I have two kids that still fit in them. So, basically, I would be putting a child that is 33lbs, and 3 years old in the Nautilus instead of the Marathon FF. Right...

    My 5/08 Marathon Cowmooflage Your Radian?

    So... you guys got me thinking. :) I CAN and I don't feel bad about trading my Marathon for a Radian. It will make the back row more comfy, and I can keep my older Marathon as I won't need it in 3 years if I have the Radian. So... I don't know if it is fair... My Newer Marathon that came...

    Made husband think...

    and, I think that I can get him to agree to "another" carseat... I was posting on the normal questions board. I was thinking of selling one of my marathons to get a higher harness seat... Then, I was thinking about it. It doesn't solve my problem. :) I would be moving my daughter to a...

    How much for a 2 year old Marathon?

    So, How much could I sell about a 2 year old Marathon for? I've got 2, and I don't really "need" 2. I've got 2 CowMooFlauge covers, one for it, and one spare. I've actually got 3 covers, one is just currently ON the carseat that I am keeping. Someone suggested I sell and I could use that...

    What size Rider Safe Travel Vest?

    My eldest daughter is almost 6 years old. She is just outgrowing her Marathon. She's got a 19 inch torso or so (took measuring tape to her standing) She's 40lbs in a swimsuit. So, she's tall and thin. The "large" size starts at 50lbs, but I think it would fit her better long wise? What size...

    3 across in Honda CRV, old OR new body style

    My parents have 2 CRV's One old style, one New body style. I think there is more room in the old style. They might be able to borrow a minivan when we go visit this summer, but it would be nice to know that one of their cars will be able to handle all three kids. I've got 2 Marathons 1 Graco...

    Question What do I do about my neighbor, and her seats?

    She has a safe seat for her just turned 1 year old. But, she has her 3 year old in a car seat with a shield. I think I remember talking with you guys in here about those seats being expired? She also didn't understand why I was such a freak about carseats, and told me her doctor told her it was...

    Been gone a while...

    I have moved! Yup, we moved to New Mexico, and I have been so swamped, that I don't check in anymore!~ My oldest still fits in her Marathon. I was concerned she would outgrow it quickly, but she has been fine. I'll get her a new larger 5pt harness seat for my car, but I do need a booster for...
