    Diono Monterey in Ford Explorer?

    Does anyone know if the Monterey works in both the 2nd row and 3rd rows of the Ford Explorer? The redesigned body style. I think it should be okay in the 2nd row, but the headrests in the 3rd row look pretty angled to me which would create a gap that isn't allowed. Haven't been able to try...

    It's been awhile....booster ideas? (moved to Carseats from Installation)

    Hi Car Seat Gurus, It's been a while since I've been in the car seat market and there have been a lot of updates and changes. My DD will be 6 in August and is just passing the tops of the shoulder straps in her Radian. We got great use out of it--it was her older sister's ( who is now 9). DD...

    ***HELP!*** Belt Stuck and unusable, DD has to get to school!

    My mom just called and the rear seat belt in her Mazda 3 (newer model unsure of the year) is stuck and she can not pull it out for the booster seat. It happened once before and she fiddled and yanked and eventually it it pulled out. She can't release the locking by letting it retract because...

    Monterey vs. Monterey?

    I want to order a Monterey but I'm wondering which is the most current one. On EliteCarSeats they have one listed as the 2009 Monterey and one listed just the Monterey. I thought that the newest version had a slight curve to the color pattern, but that's the one listed as just the Monterey...

    Magical Mystery Shoulder Height

    Here's another question about the mysterious way kids' shoulder height changes in an instant. DD1 was in her Frontier and I noticed that the straps were getting close to level on her shoulders so I really checked and I decided that she was due to get moved up a notch. When she got in the...

    Booster Suggestions

    Hi All, My DD1 is close to outgrowing her Radian in grandma's car and I'm thinking of getting her a booster for a Christmas present. She'll be 6 in March and is tall and not a light weight. I was leaning towards the Monterey. She had tried in the past and liked it. Is there another seat I...

    Monterrey Sales?

    I think we might be in the market for a Monterrey for Christmas for grandma's car. If we are, I better start finding a deal now. Any pointers, tips, codes, etc that will help?

    "Baby" stil RFing and I'm making a convert!

    My DD2 just hit 30 lbs on the doctor's scale! She gained 2 lbs in 2 weeks. We had gone in when she was sick and at the recheck 2 weeks later, she was tipping the scale at 30 lbs! Egads! At this rate she'll never make it to 2 1/2 let alone 3. She just better be about to have a mega growth...

    Modern Mom No-No

    I just got an e-mail newsletter from Modern mom. In it was the section Modern Mom Must Haves. I generally just delete the newsletters without reading them, but this caught my eye. First off, they're saying that as soon as baby outgrows an infant seat they get to be FFing and here's a great...

    Question Eddie Bauer 3-in-1 used as a booster

    I finally saw my GFs booster for her DD2. It's an old (I mean tattered and battered old) Eddie Bauer 3-in-1. She has it in booster mode. I told her they expire and asked how old it was. Not 100% sure, but probably close to 9 yr old. DD2 turned 9 yrs old in April. She's tall but a bean...

    Question Quickie Frontier

    The post about the Regent leaning got me thinking. Our Frontier leans towards the center of the car (Acura RDX) just a bit. DD1 has never mentioned that the seat leans or is tipped. It's rock sold. I really only notice it when I see the top in my rear view mirror. I attributed the lean to...

    Frontier install check

    Hi All! I finally got DDs new Frontier installed over the weekend. I'm surprised I managed to wait this long--it's been sitting upstairs for her birthday (3/16) and since then we have just not had a moment to install (and seriously vacuum out the car). Just a couple questions to make sure I...

    Frontier Manual

    Okay, I showed great restraint in not breaking into the Frontier for weeks waiting to give it to DD1 for her 5th Birthday. Now the presents are opened, she's asleep, a glass (or 2) of vino has been had and now I'm hopping mad because for my reward I was going to snuggle up with the manual and...

    I'm getting impatient!

    My Frontier is supposed to be delivered some time today to the office and I'm just waiting and waiting and waiting! I WANNA PLAY WITH A NEW SEAT!!!! I seriously doubt that I'll be able to wait to give the seat to DD for her birthday in mid-March.

    Frontier vs Nautilus with pictures at BRU

    I wanted to do a post for everyone who is on the fence about the Nautilus and the Frontier. While I have not purchased either yet, I did have fun trying out seats at BRU with my DD. She is 4yr10mo, almst 50 lbs and right around 44". I don't know what her torso height is as it changes every...

    I'm getting excited to go seat shopping!

    How goofy am I that I am getting all excited to take DD1 to try out seats today? We're specifically testing the Frontier and the Nautilus side-by-side to see which fits her better. It would be super cool if they had the Safeguard there as well, but I'm sure they don't (BRU). All the boutique...

    Question Any word yet on the Feb. Britax sale?

    It's getting awfully close to February and I'm still waffling between the Nautilus and the Frontier, but a good sale might tip me one way or the other.

    Car Seat Quandry

    I'm in in a quandry over what to do about seats for my 4 3/4 DD. I was planning on getting her a Frontier for her birthday in March, but I'm guessing that if she's about to outgrow her Marathon, then she's on the verge of outgrowing the Radian in Grandma's car. Grandma picks her up from...

    Question LATCH weight limits?

    I got to thinking as I switched my DD1 MA from a LATCH install to a seatbelt install (she's 47 lbs!) about using LATCH and boosters. When she outgrows her Marathon, I would like HWH seat like the Nautilus or Frontier. If we go with the Frontier (her preferred choice at the moment) then...
