    looking for a good "grandma's car" carseat

    She had a cruddy ComfortSport that I have been just waiting to expire (which it does, this December), and I'm looking for a good replacement seat. Here are the stats: ~ DS is 3y.o., about 38ish lbs, and is currently FF in his Marathon in my van. ~ I am PG, due in Feb., and I'd like to buy...

    My first carseat check!

    I had my carseats checked for the first time ever today! A police officer who goes to church with us is a tech, and I got him to check out the installation of my (kids') new car seats this morning! We have an 03 Town & Country with a RF Cowmooflage Marathon in the center captain's chair and a...

    Is this okay? Tether location...

    I installed my DD's new Regent last night in our Chrysler T&C (2003) and I couldn't get a good SBP lap/shoulder belt install (required for her weight) in the captain's chair, so I tried the back bench since it's a flatter seat. I got a much tighter install there, but when I went to attach the...

    Wow! What a difference!

    I got my first ever Britax seat Friday, a Cowmooflage Marathon. I bought it as sort of a double duty seat. DS is soon going to be to tall for his Evenflo Triumph RF, and DD needs a FF seat for DH's car for occasional use. So I'm planning on using it in DH's car for her until DS needs it RF...

    Cool weather ideas...

    I was reading a discussion on another older post mentioning the bulky winter clothing and how the bulk should go over the straps, rather than under (i.e. blanket over the secured child instead of a baby in a snowsuit.) I just wanted to bring up something we've used for the past several years...

    Too tall for his Triumph?

    I recently turned DS back to RF when I found this board and read about the importance of it. He is in an older style Evenflo Triumph DLX, and he is under the 30 lb weight limit, but I'm afraid he is too tall/the seat is too short for him. What do you think?? Level from the side Taken from...

    So I'm confused about my Triumph DLX...

    :headscratch: I got out my owner's manual and it says RF to 30 lbs (it's not the new version, obviously), so I turned it around yesterday so that DS can be RF again. But I just noticed this morning that there is a warning sticker on the actual seat that says "only use rear facing with an...

    Top tether weight limit?

    I'm pretty new to all this carseat info (scary, since my oldest DD is 4.5 y.o.!), but I have a question about the top tether. I thought I had read that vehicles have a maximum weight limit for LATCH, but when I was looking at the owner's manual for the Regent (was considering buying one), it...

    I have an '03 Town & Country (same as Grand Caravan) and am considering either the Regent or Radian. 46 lb 4 y.o. DD. I will probably be installing it in the center captain's chair. TIA!
