    DD's boulevard will be expiring soon She is a small 5.5 year old near the bottom of the height and weight charts. She is mature and she would sit if she knows she has to.

    Is there enough shell for rear facing?

    DS is outgrowing rear facing in his radian. His was manufactured right before the switch to a higher weight. His sister has a myride. I can't tell if he has enough shell to sit in it. What do you think?

    Booster for 5.5 year old

    My dd's boulevard is going to reach 6 years since the manufacture around when dd turns 5.5. She is on the bottom of the height and weight charts so she is really small for her age.

    Angle for a 3.5 month old

    I just ordered my 3.5 month old her convertable seat and will switch when it arrives. How upright can I go for a 3.5/4 month old? I was thinking around 40 degrees. Is that ok?

    Ordering online and expiration dates

    I have some target gift cards and was going to order a myride from target.com. Are the manufacture dates recent when you order online? Does the myride have a 6 year expiration? I'm getting tired off stuffing my dd in a baseless infant seat (the only way it fits) but I want to make it until she...

    What store carries the new britax seats

    Does any stand alone store carry the new britax seats that will let you try it out in your vehicle? My BRU doesn't carry the britax seats any more. I want to try it for size with my 4 year old and see if it fits width wise in my vehicle. I don't want to buy it yet I just want to know if it will...

    Do the new britax seat puzzle well?

    I know the limitations of the new britax seats but that actually what makes them appealing to me. I have to do a tight 3 across with maybe 3 seats rear facing. I tried a few seats and the only ones that work rear facing behind the driver is a myride and a cosco scenera when I can install it at a...

    Using an infant seat baseless

    The only way the infant seat fits in my car is baseless. It isn't a big deal to me because I don't take the seat out very often anyway and I used convertables from the start with my other kids. The only reason I got one this time was the only way I can fit 3 rear facing across was to have 2...

    Checking angle with an ipod

    I can't tell if my baby trend seat is at a 45 degree angle. I'm really bad at estrimating angles and I don't like how the level indicator works on this seat. My dh has an iphone. There is an application I can use to check it right? Which one is good and how do I check it. Do I put it in the seat?

    Check my angles please. Picture Heavy

    I was trying my seats to prepare for late September when baby arrives. All the seats are independently tight at the belt path. The infant seat base has less than an inch at the belt path but really can move in the back. That is ok right? I never used an infant seat before. I was wondering if my...

    Need something for facebook

    I just saw a horrifying picture from one of my facebook friends. Her little 1 year old boy was in a 5 point car seat but his arms were out of the top and the chest clip was down by his belly. It wasn't just loose it was off at the top completely. I only know this person through high school and...

    My boulevard is installed at a proper angle for my dd but she still gets head slump in it. My friend has a seat with head wings for her 6 month old and it was installed pretty reclined at almost 45 degrees and he gets head slump. I have my radian installed at the same angle as my boulevard and...
