    Britax Parkway SGL vs. SGL g1.1

    I need to buy a high back booster seat for my 7 year old daughter. She is 48" and 55lbs. It will sometimes need to be in a 3 across situation so I'm looking for a slim booster. I saw two different versions of the Britax Parkway SGL...just the SGL and then the SGL g1.1. Does anyone know the...

    Evenflo AMP or Graco Turbobooster or something else?

    I want to get a high back booster as a seat for our second car so I don't have to install/reinstall several car seats every time my 5 year old DD goes somewhere with DH. It will just be for around the town, so I'm looking for an inexpensive seat. Thoughts on the Turbobooster vs. Evenflo Amp...

    Will a RXT cover fit an XTSL?

    I really need a new cover for my Sunshine Kids Radian XTSL, but I'm not having any luck. Will a Diono Radian RXT cover fit the XTSL? I saw a post where someone was able to fit a Diono cover on a Sunshine Kids Radian, but it was the one without head wings (80SL maybe). Anyone know?

    should I switch 5 yo to HBB?

    I need to get a 3 across in our Jetta beginning in April. My older daughter will be 5.5 years old then. I think she could sit properly in a booster because she is a cautious child and listens when it comes to things like safety. I'm a bit nervous though because we go on quite a few long road...

    Frontier or Recaro Prosport?

    My 5 year old DD needs a new seat. What are your thoughts on one vs the other. It will be in the center of our jetta with a Coccoro RFing on one side and a RFing Radian on the other (but the Radian will turn FFing probably in a year or so). I tried the three across with my nephew's Frontier...

    Marathon lasting longer than than Radian for RFing? *added pictures

    Does that sound right? My 2.5 year old is RFing in a classic Marathon. She is 30 lbs and about 37 or 38". Her legs are cramped because she has long legs and because the Marathon doesn't have a ton of leg room. She has never complained about it but we are going on a cross country trip in a...

    Buy all new car seats for second car?

    We currently have two girls ages 2.5 and almost 5 (on Saturday!). We have two cars, and we switch the seats between the cars a couple times each weekend (Radian and Marathon). Well, we are going to have a third baby in April, and I'm wondering if it will be too much of a pain to switch 3 car...

    Britax Livia material?

    I'm trying to decide which Frontier to buy for my DD. She likes the way Livia looks, but I'm not sure how the fabric feels. Is it plush like many of the other Britax seats (we have a Marathon and Roundabout, and the covers are nice and soft). Thanks!

    Chicco keyfit 30...good for 3 across?

    I'm still looking for a carseat for our baby due in April, and I need to do 3 across in a 2001 Jetta. My girls will be 3 (currently 37" and 30 lbs) and 5.5 (currently 43" with a very long torso and 45lbs) when baby is born. I'm thinking of switching my 2.5 year old DD to a different seat...

    3 across in Jetta?

    We have a 2001 Jetta (smaller backseat than the newer models). I just found out I'm pregnant so I'm planning way ahead. I currently have my 4.5 year old DD (44", 43lb) in a Radian in the middle. My 26 month old DD (36", 29lbs) is rearfacing behind the driver seat in a Marathon. * I want to...

    Measuring harness and torso height?

    I put DD1 into het Radian xtsl today and noticed that the straps are a bit below her shoulders. We have the straps at the highest slots. I found it weird that she would have outgrown her seat already by height...she is about 41". I measured her torso when she was sitting down...I measured...

    Installing seats in a 1982 FJ60 Landcruiser?

    DH wants to buy a 1982 FJ60 Landcruiser for driving around in the mountains. We have a Britax Roundabout (will go to a Marathon when she outgrows the Roundabout) and a Radian. Both are rearfacing. Has anyone installed either of these in a Landcruiser, or know anything about Landcruisers? We...

    where are the backpack straps on the radian

    We will be flying with our Radian next week, and DH looked for the backpack straps today, but he said all he saw was the carrying strap that attaches to the side. Should we have backpack straps also?

    Which seat for plane? And tips for installing Radian on plane?

    LATCH and Hyundai Elantra and Ford F150

    We are going to be visiting family next week, and the cars that we will be installing our Marathon and infant seats (we are borrowing my nephews, and my mom has one so I don't know what kind they are) in are a Hyundai Elantra and a Ford F150. The Hyundai Elantra is either a 2002 or 2003. I'm...

    How much room does DD have left RFing in Radian? (pic)

    We just got a Radian 80 XT SL today. I'm still not sure how well it fits in our car ( Jeep Liberty ) since I installed it in the dark, but I'll work on that tomorrow. Here are some pics of DD in the seat. I didn't tighten the straps all the way because we weren't going anywhere--just trying...

    I need to buy a new carseat now...who has free return shipping?

    I need to buy a Radian XT SL NOW! I've been debating between the MyRide 65 and the Complete Air, but the way DD is growing, she will outgrow the weight limit in the next 6 months. So we want to try the XT SL so we can RF her to 45 lbs (she will be 2 next month). She just hit 35 lbs. We won't...
