    Interesting experience at airport

    I thought I'd share our recent adventure through airline security with you and see if anyone else has had any experiences like this. First of all, I noticed that it must be more of a rare occurrence for someone to actually bring a car seat on an airline and install it on a paid seat. I felt...

    Currently I have an almost 3 year old DS RF in a TF, I think he is about 32lbs. Also an 8 month old DD just about 22lbs growing out of her snugride. I do have a Roundabout (the older one that RF to 30lbs and FF to 40lbs). The vehicle that they are in most is a GMC Sierra crew cab. Here...

    Getting a top tether anchor installed- I thought it was free?

    I had a top tether anchor installed in my 1989 Chev, and was shocked at my $100 bill. I assumed it was free of charge. And they only put one in- on the passenger side. I wish I knew of the charge before they did that. I could have bought another True Fit for an extra $50 or so, and put it in...

    free car seat checks in Edmonton?

    In Lethbridge we went to St. John's Ambulance and they checked our install for free. Does a anyone know if they do that in Edmonton too? I wanted to refer a friend. Or maybe there is another place to go?

    need a new seat, need some advice

    I'm needing a new seat for my 27 month old who is currently rear facing in a Roundabout. He is nearing the 30lb limit and his head is almost level with the top of the seat. I know technically he has probably outgrown the height. But he is pretty short. So if I want to keep him rear facing...

    Totally confused about my car seat expiration date.

    I have a Graco Snugride that was made in April of 2004. On the seat it is stamped not to use it after Dec 2010. I bought this seat in 2007 from Costco and assumed that I was getting a new seat, I didn't think to check the date on it. (Now after coming to this forum I know better). I sent an...

    This information was given to me at my baby's 1 year check up:

    A handout from Alberta Health and Wellness entitled "All About Me" 12 to 18 months states: "Move me into a forward facing child safety seat when I have reached my first birthday and I weigh at least 20 pounds. Until then, I am safest rear-facing." I was quite surprised by the wording. No...

    Who are you people and what have you done to me??

    Some general thoughts and observations about the car seat world and my newly aquired information (thanks to this forum): (I posted these thoughts on another thread but realized that it was not on topic at all, hence this new thread.) Why do these places sell car seats without really knowing...

    Graco Safeseat- how long do people usually end up using this for?

    I have a friend that is about to have a baby and I was going to recommend to her the safeseat. If it goes to 30lbs- do people really use it that long? If the baby gets to heavy to tote around and you just leave it in the car, would a kid that is say 12-24 months be more comfortable in a SS1...
