    Which booster if I do this switcharoo?

    DS is currently approaching the top slots on his fr85, and my sister needs a ff combo for her DD. I was thinking that she could buy me a booster for DS and I'll give her my fr85, which I've had for a little over a year. Right now he rides in a Regent in DH's car, which he is also outgrowing. I...

    4yo in Alpha Omega?

    What are the chances that a 4yo, at least 40inches tall, fits into the harness of an Alpha Omega? I know she's under 40lbs, but I thought that might be one of those seats with low top slots. If anyone is wondering, my sister told me this was the seat her 4yo niece rides in. She didn't notice...

    Qs- FF Radian install

    I am trying my radian ffing. Is the recline adjustment necessary? It seems to fit better without it. Top Tether: the manual shows the straps going straight over the seat back. My seat backs are too high, so the straps go up and over the seat back. Is this acceptable? TIA.

    Has anyone ff to combat car sickness?

    Did it help? After the second massive vomit this month, I'm thinking I might see if my youngest rides more comfortably ffing. Her Radian was so bad this time I might have to order new straps. In the meantime, she's in a Regent right now, and is telling me she doesn't want her seat back because...

    vivo vs. Pathway B570

    Any thoughts? It would be for a seven year old who is smaller than average but not tiny (I think). My guess is around 48 inches and less than 45lbs. It looks like I can get a better deal on the vivo if first time customers at diapers.com can still get 15% off.

    Anyone have a code or know of a sale (booster shopping)?

    BIL needs a couple of boosters. I'm limiting the search to the "best bets" because I'm not sure they can test all of them out, and the kid in question is probably very close to the size of the dummy they used to test fit. One car has LATCH, the other does not. If there is anyone who has some...

    Harmony Juvenile - Dreamtime Comfort Booster Car Seat

    I can't find the height max for this seat. Can someone help me? Also, how does this compare to a turbo booster? TIA.

    How does a My Ride compare to an older MA?

    I suggested that a friend look at the My Ride today. She has a larger than average one year old, probably by height and weight, and needs an affordable convertible. She will hopefully have a baby brother or sister that could use the seat in about two years. They have been borrowing my sister's...

    does a rfing tether need to be tight?

    I'm installing a radian and don't want it to recline even a hair more since it can't touch my passenger seat. Right now I have it tethered, but I just removed the slack so it doesn't pull on the seat in any way. Is this okay?

    fr85 belt install in an Odyssey-what's too loose?

    I am using the LBP on a fr85 in an '10 Ody. The manual of the car says a "rock solid" install with the belt may not be possible and that is considered okay. How do I test that it is too loose? The belt doesn't slide around at all, but I can slide the seat bottom to the side more than an inch if...

    installing radian with reclined seat

    What do you think of installing a rfing Radian XT SL in a '10 Honda Odyssey with the seat back slightly reclined? I get a better angle on the radian this way, AND the passenger can have all the leg room they want without the car seat touching the seat back (the manual says no on that). The...

    Radian and 85 in a '10 Odyssey

    I'm not sure where to ask this. We're going to most likely be making an offer on a van this week. Can someone tell me how well these seats install in the Odyssey? Most likely a '10, definitely '07 or newer. The fr85 needs to be installed with the belt, and the radian needs to fit both rf and ff...

    Freestyle, Taurus X, something else?

    Does anyone have any opinion on either of these vehicles. I'm looking to replace an '02 Windstar. I'm also considering the Freestar, Grand Caravan, Sienna and Odyssey. We are just beginning our research and haven't decided if we want to spend $15,000 or $30,000. I do know I want something 2006...

    Radian install -photo

    I installed the Radian rfing in our rental car and I have some questions: 1) I can't get the seat installed without the seat being completely smashed against the passenger side headrest. It's in solid and tethered, but it's definitely resting against the headrest. I quickly looked through the...

    Help me recommend booster seats

    My SIL needs to replace expired MA's that's she's using for her 6 1/2 year old. She says he is currently at or under the MA's top slot, and he weighs about 42lbs. I am guessing his height is 46-48 inches. What are her options for a '97 Caravan with a middle bench and a '05 Accord? She does not...

    need a radian and a frontier- codes?

    Does anyone have a straight up, percentage off code for a place that will send me both of these seats tax free (I'm in WA) and no shipping? Available shipping insurance is a plus. TIA.

    tell me about radian compatibility

    I think I'm probably going to get a radian to replace the marathon I just lost in an accident. This will be for my 2.5 year old. She is 30lbs and pretty tall. Right now I'm driving a 2002 Windstar that might be totaled out. The rental car is a 2008 impala and our other car is a 2003 Taurus. Can...

    Quick- in an accident

    I'm replacing a brand new Frontier 85 :mad: and a five year old marathon. I found a marathon to borrow. Should I try to sell the MA new in box and get a radian? DD is rfing and 30lbs. She's also very tall. I drive (possibly drove) a 2002 windstar and a 2003 Taurus. Has anybody run into trouble...

    If you have the new Frontier

    I have a new 85. The plastic rectangle that covers the harness straps on the back of the seat popped off as I took it out of the box and will not lock back on. It just doesn't seem to fit. The seat is installed right now, and the plastic piece will not be going anywhere because I'm using the LBP...

    Frontier 85 install help + Qs

    I ordered an 85 as a replacement for a Regent that could not be installed with the short belt path in my vehicle after my child reached LATCH limits. The long path would probably work, but it looks you can't use it once your child is over 40lbs. I have three initial questions about the 85...
