    Question Which belt-positioning boosters have LATCH?

    Hello! I'm shopping seat belt boosters for grandparents' vehicles, and I'm wondering if there is a list somewhere of latchable boosters. I did a couple of site searches and didn't come up with everything I was hoping to find, so maybe someone can help me. I know that the Britax Parkway/SGL will...

    Sitting Criss-cross and submarining? Graco Affix?

    Sorry for another booster question; we are just dipping our toes into seat belt use. DS is 6.5 and we just bought a Graco Affix for occasional use in Grandma's car. I taught him how to place the belt and where everything should be when he uses the seat. It seemed to fit him well. He asked if he...

    Would you use travel booster for 6yo that has never used booster?

    Title basically says it all. We are traveling soon and I don't really want to lug two harnessed seats on a plane (I'd have to buy a 2nd lightweight combo like our maestro), but DS has never used a seat belt booster of any kind (he wants to and we are purchasing a HBB for grandmas car this week)...

    Booster fit in Odyssey plus 1 seat (2011+)

    I'm looking for a booster with LATCH (preferably high back) that works in the plus-one seat of the newer Ody. Because the seat is narrow, will it be nearly impossible for the child to reach the buckle? Does anyone have experiences with HBB in this seat, or is a NBB the only option?

    I need booster help, please - Choosing the right one...

    I'm new to booster shopping, and I'm trying to do my research. Due to some outgrown seats I am moving DS to booster in "non-daily" vehicles (Grandma's and Dad's, where he doesn't ride too often). He is staying harnessed in the family car because he's a sleeper. :) He would pretty much only ride...

    Seeking advice for 5yo, 6.5yo, when to booster

    I will apologize in advance for how wordy this is. I hope some will read through and give me some tips. DD has officially outgrown our smallest convertible seat (a Britax Blvd G3) and is rapidly reaching limits on the remaining ones. DS is comfortable in his 5-pt harness booster. DS: 45.5", 45...

    Is this RF Blvd outgrown?

    DD will be 4 next week, 39.5" and 32#. She is still RF in Blvd 70 G3. When she's buckled in and settled (maybe after a drive), it looks like she has a good amount of room still (maybe 1.5-2" above her head), but when we first get her in and buckle it looks like she's really close to 1" from the...

    What should I know about installing Maestro?

    We are traveling next week and have decided to purchase a Maestro for the trip due to its light weight (after looking at SecureKid, SureRide, and Maestro, my son was most comfortable in the Maestro). I am having it shipped to our destination and my friend will arrive with it at the airport to...

    RF tether anchor point on '13 Ody DRIVER side?

    I recently moved RF Britax to the driver's side so older DS has easier access to passenger side door for school drop-off/pick-up. I had the Britax tethered on the passenger side (inside passenger seat leg), but I'm not sure if the same location is acceptable on the driver's side. The seat legs...

    Questions about Evenflo SecureKid and installation

    We are planning to get a lightweight seat for air travel, and the seat will become our 2nd/backup harness booster for other drivers at home (dad, grandparents). I had narrowed it down to the SecureKid and Maestro, but the basic LATCH hook-style connectors on the Maestro have deterred me...

    Looking for a lightweight harness booster.

    We are planning to travel by plane to a destination where we will either have a ride with friends or need a rental car. We will take DD's Britax on the plane, but I would like to find a lightweight harnessed booster for DS, which will also serve as a backup seat for home in case hubby or someone...

    Should the youngest FF be in the center?

    I would like to know the ideal placement for both of our car seats once both my children are FF. (2013 Honda Ody) - 5.5y, FF Recaro Performance Sport, center position of the 2nd row. - 3.5y, RF Britax Blvd 70 G3, outboard driver side of the 2nd row. My 3.5y has about .5" or so before she...

    Should I let DD choose between seats?

    We have a new Boulevard 70 G3 in our van, which we only purchased because of it's shallow depth, which fit better in the car we traded in early this year. The seat she uses in my mom's car is the one we originally used in our car, a Roundabout 50 Classic. Now that we have a van, the depth on the...

    Can I put my knee in the seat to install?

    I recently went to a car seat safety check event and I needed help making sure our Recaro was secure. It turned out I had a pretty secure install, but when they had me re-install it I was instructed to stop putting my knee in the seat to tighten it. I completely understand the point they were...

    Recaro Performance Sport on Amazon $212

    I just got an alert for the price drop on the blue one. I haven't checked yet to see if the other colors are also at this price. Ours was purchased so recently I wish I could get a price adjustment! Great price!

    RF tether location in 2011 Kia Optima?

    Grandma's car is a 2011 Kia Optima. Once I figured out all the RF tether info I decided to try to find a spot for one in her vehicle when I switched her seat to a Britax Roundabout Classic (50). I read the basic info and warnings about the advanced air bags, but there is no dedicated tether...

    2013 Ody install question - Recaro Prosport/Performance Sport

    I just asked a question about finding a tech to help me, but maybe someone here can answer my main question (and the reason I don't feel 100% confident with my FF install). I feel like a pro with RF installs, but this FF business is new to me. :) I'm installing a Performance Sport in the center...

    How do I find a GOOD tech in my area?

    I've decided never to return to the police department for a safety check, and in my area it's basically the only option - police, sheriff, fire. I reached a point where I knew how to rock solidly install my RF seats anyhow, but now I need a little help knowing if my FF install is good. I don't...

    RF tether location for 2nd row Oddysey (2013)

    Car seat blog showed the 2011 Odyssey had a tether location on the inside rear passenger seat leg. I am trying to tether an outboard passenger side RF Boulevard 70 G3. I took tons of photos because I don't know if any of it is correct. I've never tethered my RF seats, but I guess I've decided to...
