    Frontier vs. Pioneer vs. New Britax combo vs. ???

    It's been a long time since I was in the market for a car seat that wasn't a spare. Our youngest is 9 years old and has significant special needs. He's currently in a Frontier in my car and a Graco Size4Me in hubby's car. We have an Evenflo Maestro as a spare. He's a peanut at 42 pounds and 42...

    Britax Traveller Plus EL discontinued?

    A rumor is going through one of the special needs communities that I am a part of that this seat is going to be discontinued very soon. Has anyone else heard any news on this? If so, do they have plans to release a replacement seat? Thanks!

    WWYD: RFing older child with Down Syndrome

    Ok, I have a WWYD for you. This is something I've been contemplating a lot lately. Our youngest child is 5.5 and has Down Syndrome. A bit of background, we brought him home from Bulgaria two years ago at the age of 3.5. At that time, he weighed 16 pounds and was about 30 inches long. He had...

    Side airbags and booster

    I took the renewal course in April and didn't remember anything about not placing a booster next to a side air bag. So, I pulled out my manual to take a look: The manual states that usually, children may sit there without injury. As usual, we're reminded to check the car's manual just to be...

    2014 Ody and two in seats

    I'm trying *very* hard to love the new Ody that my hubby just bought for our family. There's a lot to love about it, except I'm trying to make my seats configure like they do in our 2008 Sienna, and they just won't. I have two kiddos still in seats: 4yo DS riding in a Frontier and a 3yo DS...

    I'm in need of a second cover for our MyRide. We don't have to have the infant insert or strap covers. So... show me what you've got and tell me how much you want for it. :p

    Did anyone else get the BRU flyer in the mail?

    On the very front of the BRU ad is a very young toddler in a Smart Seat, forward facing. Grrr. Seriously, did the AAP not just make an official recommendation? Does the Smart Seat not rear-face to 40 pounds? Why not advertise it by showing its full capacity? I left BRU a message on their FB...

    Ok, what is the booster in the Dyson commercial?

    It's the commercial for the cordless Dyson, and they're vacuuming crumbs out of the seat. I can't find a video of the commercial online. It looks kind of like a Monterrey, but with a boxier headrest and two side wings on each side. Any ideas?

    A FF/RFing WWYD?

    My parents will be keeping the kids on Memorial Day weekend while DH and I are at a conference. It will be the first time Mom and Dad will have all three at one time over night. The only car my parents have that the kids can fit in is a Lincoln LS (their other cars are a pick-up truck and a...

    Going to help a friend pick out a car seat for adopted child...

    A sweet friend and I are heading to BRU tomorrow to pick out a car seat for their son who they will be adopting from the Philippines next month. They know that he is visually impaired with several other health issues. So far, the medical reports that they have on him indicate that he may even...

    Family booted from plane in dispute over infant seat

    I haven't heard of an airplane seat that is too narrow for an infant seat. :confused: Apparently this mom was unlucky enough to have it happen twice. I wonder if she thought of using it without the base.

    Does anyone here have a RFing convertiable in a Liberty?

    I have a friend whose sister I'm trying to help. Unfortunately, the sister lives in GA and I'm in NC, and I'm trying to help her find a convertible she can use in her Jeep Liberty. SHe bought a MyRide, but she said it's too tight to go in RFing on the sides, only in the middle. :confused: Any...

    $5 Puddlejumpers!

    We're on the Outer Banks for the week and DH and I drove down to Avon to eat dinner and grab a few groceries. Near the front door of the Food Lion was a section of summer items that were on clearance. There was a whole bin of Puddlejumpers for only $5! I picked up one for DS2 for next summer. I...

    Question about debates and locked threads

    I have a question regarding debates and locked threads. If a dialog has opened up between two or more members, and the dialog remains respectful until a few people happen to show up and ruin it for everyone, why does the thread get locked? Why can't the inappropriate posts be deleted with a...

    Buying a secondary seat

    Being a tech, I love all kinds of car seats and love knowing about all kinds of car seats. This also means I have a hard time picking out my own seats. I had YDS's seat all picked out while pregnant, only to find out that it wouldn't be available in time for his birth. Therefore, I ended up with...

    Helped convince shelter to throw away donated seats

    On Wednesday mornings, the kids and I run to a nearby grocery store to pick up donated food items and drop them off at one of our homeless shelters. This morning, as I was pulling in to the gated area behind the shelter to access the kitchen, I noticed a lady dropping off some items to donate...

    Interesting seat at seat check yesterday...

    I worked at a check yesterday sponsored by a local insurance agency and the Spanish-speaking readio station. We were targeting our Hispanic population, and were very pleased with the turnout. One couple came in with their three year old in a Britax MA. They had gotten it at a yard sale. It was...

    ISO SS1 or SR32

    Levi has been in a MR65 since he came home from the hospital. I like the seat and he's pretty comfy in it, and I really wanted to skip the infant seat this time around. However, the poor baby is cold. We don't live in the great arctic north, but I can't ever remember having to turn the heat on...

Just think of them as already having the prep work done for you. Make me an offer. Also for sale, three x-small Thirsties covers. I have celery...
