    RF Tether - It's okay, right?

    RF MA installed in 04 Impala with center LATCH. Child is 27 months, 27-28 lbs and 34 inches. It's tethered to front passenger buckle stalk. Couldn't access the seat track even with a credit card. Britax allows it, right? The buckle stalk is rigid and it's buckled every time. But the anchor is...

    Quick Frontier Question

    Today in tech class one of the teachers mentioned that the Frontier has a long belt path. I piped up and said, "Doesn't the Frontier have both a long and a short belt path?" and she said, "No, just the one." And, well, it was embarrassing. But I just searched the forum and it looks like I was...

    TFP Questions

    Does the ARB necessitate a 45* recline always? Or is it still possible to get 30-35* for an older child with the ARB? Are there any crash test videos demonstrating the effectiveness of an ARB? (Or a RF tether?) Does the TFP usually occupy the same amount of space as a MA (both RF)? Like if...

    Which car gets the RF tether?

    The child is 26 mos, 27 lbs and 33 in. Rear-facing exclusively. One vehicle is a 2000 Cadillac Seville. Center seat belt install. The other is a 1995 Mercury Villager. Center lap belt install. Only one bench seat installed, in the center position. I have two seats that can go in either car...

    Question EFTA Buckle

    When did they make the change? Some time last year? I was wondering if Albee might have a Sandbox with an old enough DOM for the first buckle. What do you think?

    Quick - What would you do?

    My mother-in-law is finally replacing her Evenflo Titan OHS! My husband told me to email her a suggestion. This seat is primarily for my husband's 20-month-old nephew, who she babysits during the week. He's been FF since around 12 months. When my in-laws need to drive our 25-month-old, we make...

    Advice For My Sister

    My sister's baby just turned 6 months old and she's ready to move from bucket to convertible. She is on-board for extended rear-facing. :thumbsup: Her baby is a biiig boy, though. I don't know his current height and weight (she's emailing me in the morning) but I do know for sure that he is...

    Question Cadillac Installation of Scenera - I'm getting nowhere!

    My husband and I are trying to install a Scenera in my mom's 2000 Cadillac Seville and I'm so frustrated. First of all, does this car have LATCH?? The manual doesn't mention it, and I can't remember that freaking website that tells the LATCH info by year/make/model. But I can feel LATCH anchors...

    What is this?

    Is this something normal like an extender or adjustor or something? I've never seen anything like it. American carseat for the record, though I don't know what kind.

    Is this true or not?

    True or false? The only reason a child can't ride in the front seat is because of the passenger airbag. If the airbag is turned off or the car doesn't have one, there's no other reason a child can't ride in the front, so long as they are properly restrained in a carseat/booster/seatbelt. Is...

    Which would you rather?

    I asked about this in my tethering thread (in Installation) but it wasn't really addressed so I'm posting here; I hope that's okay. The players: rear-facing Britax Marathon and 1995 Mercury Villager (minivan, no side air-bags) The options: A. installed center with lap belt, no tether or B...

    Most Common Mistakes?

    I've always heard that 80% of car seats are installed incorrectly. Or is it that 80% are used incorrectly? I'm not sure. In any case, there is a lot of user-error when it comes to car seats. Techs, and civilians too (;)), in your experiences, what are the most common mistakes that you see...

    What happens at a check?

    When you go to see a tech, what do they do exactly? Do they uninstall and reinstall your seats even if you have them in correctly? Will they go over the ways to install even though it's all in the manual? I want to make an appointment, and I heard it's better to bring your child so they can see...

    Rear-facing Tether Drama

    Today we installed our new Marathons in our vehicles, which are a 2004 Chevy Impala and a 1995 Mercury Villager. In the car we used the LATCH system and in the van we used the lap/shoulder belt with the automatic lock-offs. Both turned out to be awesome, rock-solid installs and I feel great...

    Portable DVD Player

    It's not for me but for a friend on another forum. Do you know of any certain brand or kind of portable DVD player that can attach to a headrest or tether anchor or anything like that so that it's at least somewhat safe?

    Our New MA!

    Our MA was delivered on the 22nd so I thought I'd share some pics. Yes, it's a Jonah, which means it's older. The DOM is Nov 06 and when it expires, my son will be 5 years and 4 months old. I know that kids older than that have still fit in an MA but my son is long and I'm pretty sure he will...

    Whatever happened to...

    Remember when strollers had a little bar under the handle that you could squeeze to change the position? Like, instead of the child facing out, you could change the handle position so that you pushed the stroller "backwards" and the child faced the parent? When I was little, my friends' parents...

    New MA - Can't find manual!

    One of my MAs came today (waiting for Feb. sale to order another!) and I can't find the manual! I knew they're supposed to be attached somewhere, and a sticker on the side of the seat says it's on a "lanyard under cover on front of seat" but I took the cover completely off and it's not there. I...
