    It's been awhile! Diono vs Graco Extend2Fit

    So I haven't been here in a long time since my older kids are almost 11 and 8. My oldest is 5'2 and has been seat belt only for almost a year, and my 8 yo is in a backless. Then...we had a blessed surprise by having our 3rd baby girl in February (she's 17.5 lbs in a Chicco Keyfit 30). I'm...

    Best backless booster out right now?

    Hello, it has been forever since I've been on this board, but I've been in the land of high-back boosters for about a year and a half now and haven't needed advice; also, there was no point in drooling over car-seats I would never need/get to buy :). Anyway, my 8-year-old is ready to move into a...

    Safety 1st boost protect?

    Hey, I have been "out" of the car seat world for awhile, but my youngest is ready for a booster. She just turned 5 and is on the heavier, shorter end of things. She weighs 60 lbs and is 3' 7". I have been booster training her, and she is doing fabulously (better than her 7 yo sister). My oldest...

    SK Monterey - please check belt geometry!

    I'm still fairly new to having a boostered kid, so I'm not sure if this is okay or not. We just got rid of our van and got a 2001 PT Cruiser. The seatbelt geometry is putting the seatbelt at a weird angle for the SK Monterey - it is like the belt has to make a 45 degree corner going through the...

    Would you skip top tether for one night for this situation?

    My Chevy Venture's 3rd row top tether anchor is a huge PITA to get to. The only way to access it is to have someone hold the car seat against the ceiling, lay the 3rd row down, hook the TA, put the seat back up, and then install the car seat. On Saturday, my folks are riding with us to the...

    Which one to use w/ my 3 yo?

    I just ordered my 5.5 yo a Monterrey, so then I can move dd2 out of the ff MR I can't stand ff (long, complicated story of forward-of-bight buckle in a Venture). Anyway, I have a GN and a Regent my 3 yo could move into. She's 41.4 lbs and 38.25 inches tall. Would you put her in the GN or the...

    diapers.com question

    I'm about to order a Monterey. Right now diapers.com has the Monterey 20% off with a code SAVESK20. I'm a new customer, so will I also be able to apply the 10% off in addition to the 20%, or did I read on here that they no longer allow coupon stacking? TIA!

    Why I'm not ticked at not getting a Radian 80 SL...

    **Oops title - why I AM ticked at not getting a Radian... When dd2 hit the 40 lb max in her MR at 32 months, I assumed she was going to stay on the same growth curve as dd1 since she had all the way up to that point, so I decided not to get a Radian that would have only lasted another 7-8 months...

    FF seat that is compatible w/ forward-of-bight buckles

    Constant quest to get a ffing seat to install well with my forward-of-bight buckles in my Chevy Venture (I've posted about the issue before). GN and Regent are totally incompatible. MR is marginally passable. Replacement buckle is $172ish plus labor. So, any car seat that you know of works...

    Speaking of Extended Harnessing, if you were me...

    My dd1 turned 5 Nov 4th, weighs 60 lbs and is 45 inches tall. She is currently in a Regent (top slots with lots of room). I was thinking of boostering her full time this spring (April or May) after winter weather is over. She has been booster training and is doing wonderfully. What would you...

    Thinking boosters again - need verification please

    Since I'll be ordering a booster for dd1 in a few months for this spring (or whenever I catch a great sale), I want to know exactly what I want so I can price watch (she won't go in it until all winter weather is over - about April or May). I've had my eye on the Monterey for her and pretty...

    Do forward-of-bight buckles affect boosters too much?

    Constant battle w/ my Chevy Venture and the stupid forward-of-the-bight buckle. Looking ahead when my dd1 will probably be boostered full time this spring - will the buckle cause issues with a booster? I'm looking at getting the Monterery for her since she is so solid.

    HBB Recs for a BIG kid

    My dd is 5 (in a Regent); she is currently, as her 5 yo checkup: 45 inches tall and 59.6 lbs :eek:. She has been doing fabulously with booster training (in a TB), and I think I will booster her full time (maybe, possibly) late spring (around May). What is the tallest HBB (besides the Frontier...

    Radians and forward-of-bight buckles - incompatible?

    I have an 04 Chevy Venture I'm fighting w/ b/c of the forward-of-bight buckle on captains seats in the 2nd row. I had to turn my 32 mo ffing in her MR as she is 40 lbs (one of the few kids probably to hit 40 lbs in the MR and still had inches above her head). Anyway, the only seat I could get...

    My 04 Chevy Venture is making me mad...advice please!

    My Venture is the 8 passenger with 3 captains seats in the 2nd and bench in the 3rd. Seats install beautifully passenger side 2nd row b/c the lever for flipping the back of the vehicle seat does not interfer with the buckle at all b/c it's on the opposite side. The middle and driver's side...

    Anyone know shipping info for a Regent?

    I know it depends on how far it goes, but does anyone know how much it costs to ship a Regent? Anyone know the shipping weight/size of box? I don't own a scale. Thanks!

    Price Check Would you accept $90 for a Regent 8/09 DOM?

    I put my Regent on CL for $150 - they are not common in my area AT ALL. A lady right away offered $90. Even though I paid $150 for it in Oct 09, I don't think I should accept a $60 hit with not quite a year of use? Should I just take the $90 offer or just keep it and use it? Why I'm selling...

    1.) Max out her MyRide and call it good. 2.) Buy a Radian 80 SL

    ISO: Cheap MyRide cover

    Any cover is fine with me - I'm looking for cheap, lol. My dd got gum stuck on her Bartlett cover, and when I iced it up to peel the gum off, it took the velour with it! So, there is an ugly black patch on her seat now. Not a huge deal, but if you have a MR cover you are sick of and want to...
