    original law

    Where did the original law of 20lbs and 1 yr come from? Wasn't it that carseats weren't made to withstand a higher weight while rf? Posted via Mobile Device

    carseat canopy.. safe?

    There's a promo going on on carseatcanopy.com you can get a canopy for free with the code valentine or $50 off the "whole caboodle" which would include a new seat cover and head support pillow, etc... would this be safe since it wasn't made with the carseat? Thanks!

    Head rests

    Hi! I asked this question in a previous thread that has no replies yet. I am thinking that is probably because it is about a passenger van and probably not many people own one so not a lot of info out there. http://www.car-seat.org/showthread.php?t=119152 My question that I really need an...

    2006 Ford Ecoline Extended

    I have some questions about this van. We are thinking about getting it, we are getting ready to have our 6th child here soon. It looks like 6 of the 9 backseats have lap/shoulder belts which is pretty good, I guess. NONE of the seats have headrests though, so I guess I am wondering, can I have...

    Passenger Vans

    Hi! What can you tell me about passenger vans, specifically a 10-12 seater. I am pregnant with our 6th child and we currently own a 98 Ford Expedition. We will be able to fit the new baby, but it's going to be a major inconvenience!!! Not only that, but our 3rd row is just not quite roomy...

    RF tethering a Roundabout 50

    I have put this off way too long and we are getting ready to travel for Thanksgiving. I have the roundabout 50 installed RF and have no idea how to tether it. I have read the manual and it's just not clear to me. We drive a 98 Ford Expedition, no tether anchors. The seat is in the middle seat...

    My dream car... is it possible?

    Right now we have a 98 Ford Expedition... it does not have latch, or tether anchors.... or many other things that I feel are important! So, do they even make a vehicle that has latch in every seat, plus head rests on every seat (the ONLY places we have them now are on the drivers and passenger...

    question about weight limits

    I am wondering, what is wrong with a child going over the weight limits in a seat? Like if a seat harnesses to 40lbs FF and the child is, let's say 44 lbs? Does the seat actually stop being safe once the child hits EXACTLY 40lbs? You'd think there would be a buffer, like if the seat is safe to...

    Is this angle okay?

    I just put in our roundabout 50.. it seems too upright, but I am not sure if it's because I am so used to looking at his infant carseat. I also haven't tethered it yet, when i do will that help it go back some? Thanks!

    Okay, what would you do? I already know that I am probably making the wrong choice, but I don't know what to do. In our 3rd row we have 2 kids in Radians FF... 3 year old and 5 year old and then my 10 1/2 year old is sitting with out a booster at all. The problem is, she does need to be...

    buit in carseats

    I have a question about built in carseats in vans. I did a search and found that it's fairly safe, except for SIP. What I am wondering, though, is if the straps are too high (like at the top of the ears) is that unsafe? My sister has her 2 1/2 year old in their built in and she said the straps...

    roundabout 50

    I am looking at moving my 15 month old son from his infant seat.. he's finally 20lbs and the seat goes to 22lbs... anyway, I have a tight budget so I was thinking maybe the roundabout 50, mainly because it will harness to 50 instead of 40lbs... What I am wondering though, does it have a taller...

    boosters....

    Hi! It's been forever since I have been on here... close to a year actually. :) One thing that has always bothered me is boosters and that fact that they are not latched to the car. I worry that they are just not safe, even for a child that is old/big enough. Right now I have my two oldest...

    need a simple statement

    I understand things when I read them.. but then when I go to tell someone else what I just read... it all comes out mumble jumble. So, I have been thoroughly convinced of the benefits of ERF and EH. When I try and tell someone why I feel this way it comes out like... well, its recommended now...

    My sister turned her daughter back RF because her already RF son (4mos) started to like watching movies. She only has one DVD player in the car and she wanted them both to be able to see it. Thankfully I have been harping her about turning her daughter back rear facing... because who...

    Question getting harness tight enough in infant carseat (PICS)

    The carseat is a compass I400, I just got it for my 5week old, a little over 9lbs. Anyway I love this carseat, and he fits in it great, and I will continue to love this seat if you all can tell me this is all right. Basically the harness has to go through A LOT of carseat... like foam, and the...
