    Safety 1st Incognito

    I recently bought a Clek Fllo for my 7 month old. It does not fit behind the driver or passenger seats in our Malibu (well it fits just fine actually, but not for my husband who is taller). So it needs to go in the center, but I also have a 9.5yo in a backless Affix. With the Fllo in the middle...

    Graco infant seats

    I'm expecting a baby in January, and I've kind of narrowed down the infant seat to something Graco. It's in our price range, and I used this brand with for my older daughter's infant seat and booster! So I know I like them. But there's SO many different infant seat options with Graco, and I'm...

    Booster and infant seat

    I have an 8yo in a Harmony travel booster and a Graco Affix with SS. I'm trying to figure out a car seat for new baby on the way. First, I'm not sure who goes where. I want optimal safety. Assuming everything can install properly anywhere in the backseat, is it better to have the RF baby in the...

    Affix vs Parkway

    I've been agonizing about a booster for DD for over a year now, and I'm finally going through with a purchase for her 8th birthday (she's around 50 lbs and 4ft tall). She's really excited! I'm in between two boosters: Graco Affix w/ Surround Sound (or whatever they're calling it depending on...

    Recaro Performance Booster vs. Britax Parkway

    I've narrowed DD's new booster down to 2 seats (I think lol): The Recaro Performance booster and the Britax Parkway. DD is petite (7 yo, 48", 44 lbs). The seat will be going in the center of a Malibu (no headrest), no other seats in the car. What would be a reason to get one over the other...

    Britax Parkway - best price?

    I've got time to wait on a sale for a Britax Parkway (SGL g1.1 model). How often do they go on sale, and what's the lowest I can reasonably expect to get it for? I really want "Scout Concord" but I'd be OK with another color. Right now, Target has Scout Concord for $129 with a $9 discount at...

    which scenario?

    Which scenario would be better for 7yo DD? Background, all 3 positions in our backseat are available for use, and we have 6 LATCH hooks. However, the middle seat doesn't have a headrest, and the middle seat and driver side seat have off center LATCH that will not work with a booster. My...

    Any safety reason not to booster 7yo?

    My daughter is turning 7 in just a few days, so I'm re-evaluating her car seat situation. She is 44 lbs and around 47". She's currently FF in a Radian XTSL. She's got plenty of growing room in it, certainly enough to last to its expiration date (01/2018). But I've been thinking of boostering her...

    Can a turbo booster fit in a carry on?

    I'm trying to find a HBB that DH can take on a plane with him for DD to use at their destination. (Don't want to check it. Don't want to have it mailed to our destination for several reasons.) I've been stalking the Harmony folding travel booster, which we already have at DD's other...

    Best travel booster

    DD and DH are going on a trip to Minnesota to visit grandparents this winter (without me). I'm trying to plan what car seat DD will be using. They will be flying there. DD is 40 lbs, 45", and 6yo at time of trip. Not sure what cars this will be installed in. I'm looking into the Harmony...

    Chevy Malibu + Booster + LATCH

    Can anyone with a Chevy Malibu test out some boosters for me? We have a 2006, but pretty much any Malibu with the off-center LATCH anchors will answer my questions. After reading this article from Car Seat Lady (http://thecarseatlady.com/what-to-avoid-when-buying-a-new-car/), I'm fairly certain...

    Radian harness route?

    I washed the cover of my XTSL and now can't remember the way the harness routes on the under side. The seat has a sticker that says "over bar" but all the pictures in the manual show it under the bar (the adjustable bottom release bar). When I put it over the bar, the RF boot doesn't fit. Very...

    Booster reccs for petite DD

    After putting DD in a Harmony folding travel booster part time this past December, I've decided to go ahead and move her to full time. She loves the booster and sits super well! She is 5yo, 37 lbs, and around 42". I love the Harmony booster as a part time in grandma's van, but I do not want...

    Harmony folding booster

    I finally broke down and bought a booster for DD to ride in at Grandma's about one wknd every month. I struggled with my mom using our Radian properly for months (lots of educating & demonstrating), and after finding it installed FF with the belt through the RF belt path this wknd, I had had...

    XTSL headwings

    I recently moved my FF 5yo to the top slot of her XTSL as her shoulders just inched above the second to highest slots. Unfortunately now, I've got to push the headwings up really high so they do not interfere with the harness coming out of the top slot. In this position, they're not around DD's...

    Combination seat in booster mode - LATCH?

    Would you use a combination seat in booster mode without it being LATCHed in? After much (much, much) debate, I'm not comfortable with DD being in a booster just yet. But I'm needing to get a 2nd car seat for her Grandma's van (old, no LATCH). So I was looking at the Frontier or maybe the...

    Vivo colors

    My mom has decided to get DD a Vivo for her 5th birthday to ride in occasionally in her van (I'm OK with this). I know it's been discontinued, but it's seems like the only seat that is meeting all the criteria I need! Is there ANY color option besides the black/blue "River" on Amazon? DD will...

    Boosters and head rests

    My almost 5 year old is not riding in a booster yet, but we're thinking about sometime next year, so I've been wondering.. why do some manufacturers require head support and some not? Is it just based on design differences of the seat? Is head support "strongly recommended" like the use of a top...

    Price Check SKJP Radian XTSL

    I think I'm going to sell DD's XTSL on Craigslist to fund a portion of her new Frontier. I have no clue what to sell it for. It has a manf. date of 01/10. The cover is petal (pink & brown flowers). I've got all the stuff- body support, head support, cover straps, etc. The cover is faded and...

    Resale value/fabric choice

    Does fabric choice impact re-sale value of a seat? I'm looking at getting DD a Frontier 90 to use probably only for a couple years. I'll want to re-sell it and get a dedicated booster after that (would rather have a thinner/lighter booster than the F90). Would a gender neutral color be easier to...
