    Any information on Cybex Car Seats?

    I have read mixed reviews on the seat, but I really like the fact it can be latched. My concerns are that it seems like a BIG seat and may cause blind spots in the car (2006 Charger) DH was in an accident and we need to replace seats for our almost 7yr old and our 4.5yr old. I'm thinking...

    Nautilus as a booster...

    My oldest daughter is 6yrs old and heading off to school in a couple of weeks. She is 46lbs and 48" tall. We're expecting her to have a even split of bus rides and carpools with the neighbors, so I have resigned myself that I should convert her Nautilus to a booster for ease of switching cars...

    Next step for STB 6yr old

    Many thanks to all the car seat guru's on here :love: My oldest will be 6yrs old in September she is about 46-47lbs and 46ish inches tall. Currently, she is in a Radian 65 in my car (02 Camry), she is at (but not over) the top slot. Other than installation, I love the fact it is narrow. In...

    Radian slots vs. Nautilus

    As much as I hate to think of how much we have invested in carseats, I think we'll need to be changing/upgrading soon. We currently have our 3 1/2yr old FF in 2 Marathons. She has a fairly long torso and is getting close to needing the straps moved to the top slot. Our 5 1/2yr old is...

    Are these a NO or "not recommended" thing?

    I was just cruising around for baby/kid stuff and came across a site that sells carseat covers. http://tickatoo.com/catalog.php?category=2 They are cute (I'm not in the market for them though) but I thought that after market things were not to be used. I'd like to drop the site a quick (but...

    Question for a tech in the Portland/Metro area (OR)

    I have a 2003 Peg-Perego Viaggio w/ latch that is due to expire in June (or July :rolleyes:) I believe they expire at 5yrs, not 6yrs, correct me if I'm wrong. Is there a tech that might need one for demo or some place you could suggest to "recycle" it for another use? It's in great shape, and...

    When to use the locking clip and when not to?

    We have a Radian 65 in a 2002 Toyota Camry, driver side outbound. My DD is 4yrs old 42" tall and about 45-46lbs. I know you can use the latch until 48lbs, but had the seat removed while I was doing some cleaning/vacuuming. I decided since she was getting pretty close to the max I'd just...

    Apex 65 arm rest

    Does anyone have......

    a Regent or a Radian 65 in a Camry (02) or Charger (06)? I'm really having a hard time making a choice. BRU has the Regent and I've looked at it in person (have not taken it to the car) and it is so big, but there is no doubt that it is a good seat. I don't know of any place local (Portland...
