    Keyfit Magic

    We have the keyfit base that fits the 22 and 30. Our 22 is expiring. We like the Magic. Does it work on the bases we have. I couldn't find any documentation online either way! (I am hoping it's just the upgraded canopy and fabric).

    Coccoro Block

    I ordered the Coccoro recline wedge/block. The rep I talked to was "shocked" that after hours of various install tactics I can't get a solid install in my leather-seated 1999 Toyota Avalon. When the block arrived, it came in packaging saying, "Warning: Use the Recline Adjustment Pad only with...

    Switching car seats

    :mad: After 6 years, my dh has decided he doesn't want any child seats "living" in his car. THIS is a man that does NOT have the patience/will to learn "proper" installation. This means one of two things: 1.) I will get stuck transporting our kids EVERYWHERE, all the time. 2.) I will have to...

    Learned something new today..

    When you go in to get your struts replaced... Be aware that they may need your car seats uninstalled!! I was shocked (ok flabbergasted) when the mechanic came out and asked me to go reinstall the car seats. What bothered me the most is that they didn't ask me to uninstall them! I warned...

    Mirrors for rfing kids

    I've been surprised at how many techs and enthusiasts seem to have and even recommend mirrors in the back seat of the car. I have had emergency personnel, at two separate times, tell me that those things absolutely were not safe. They said that in a crash, they come loose and that they have...

    Any love for the como?

    I've never seen one in person... And I scarcely can find anything about it at all. From what I think I've read in the facts data base, though, it seems like it may be a great RFing seat for a lean long torsoed child? What's the deal with this seat? Does anyone love it? If not, what are...

    Sketchy advise from childrens hospital

    Forgive me if this has been posted before! "Children over 1yr old and more than 20lbs ride in the backseat facing forward...children should remain in the back seat facing forward until....." You have GOT to be kidding me! A "renown" children's hospital hands these things out . It really...

    Wwyd

    I'm trying to figure this out. I know all the seats in question passed the same tests.. So I'm not asking about that. In trying to figure out the safest option. If we can make our current seats to last another month or so, we'll have a bigger budget. My Son is 3.5yr, with a RFing torso...

    Britax lockoff help, please

    This is for a britax blvd classic (33lb RF). Shoulder/ w/ALR install. I don't want to install with just ALR, as that causes significant riding up on one side. Toyota Avalon After previous thread on re-rearfacing 3.5 yr old ds, I popped out to do so. Until 3 yrs old, I have had either a MA...

    Personal loves hates of complete air?

    Safety 1st candid Opinions wanted! I'm on the homestretch of deciding which seats to buy. Its down to the nitty gritty, there are a few that will work well for our needs. I'm really leaning towards this one, though! Things that I wonder about it: are the harness adjusters going to hold up...

    How many sets of seats? Parents of 2 or more children

    Do you buy multiple seats to outfit multiple cars? is it feasible to just outfit one car? It was soo much easier with one kiddo! One carseat in the grandparents cars was unobtrusive, but 2 just isn't going to happen. It wasn't something I'd considered. I had bought extra bases for that...

    Britax ?

    I have 2007 britax MA and blvd seats. Are the newer seats (MA70) any taller bum to shell? Ds, at 3.5 yrs, is close to outgrowing the 2007 by both weight and height. I know buying another would mean he'd have more time weight wise, but what about height? I would like to have him rf for a...

    Turning before hitting limit?

    I recently was reading an older thread on here. The OP asked about turning a FFing kid back RFing, but the kid was within2-3lbs of the seats RFing limits. Another poster said she wouldn't leave a kid that near near the limits RFing. It was a shocking statement for me. In Dec, we had to...

    Need to verify some things, and also to vent a little. Why I needed to go: I just switched car seats with the Grandparents. Their arthritis didn't allow them to use the Evenflow Truimph dlx (2005) knobs properly, so I swapped them my Britax MA. Installing in: 1997 Toyota Avalon. Ds...

    New CCO?

    Is there one coming out still? I read the threads back in April about the lower min. weight and (much more importantly) the poss. RFing tethering approval... Any news? I tried doing a search, but never seem to get anywhere. It seems that sigs are showing up in search results.:confused:
