    Pedi GI recommends I research moving dd to front seat due to carsickness

    Our five year old dd suffers from severe carsickness. So severe that any trips on bumpy or curvy roads leads to nausea, no matter how short. We chose our neighborhood because it has nice smooth roads. We chose our car (Sienna) because we saw some online discussion about Siennas being good for...

    Very tall six year old is outgrowing her Regent

    My six year old daughter is outgrowing the straps on her Britax Regent. I noticed yesterday that her shoulders are level with the shoulder strap, which means that I need to find her a bigger seat since she will soon outgrow her Regent. I want to have one ready. My daughter wears size 7 or 8...

    Leading cause of death?

    Ok, what is the leading cause of death for young kids? Is it car accidents, as I have read on these threads? does someone have a link to the research that backs that up? Also, some of the links to safety sources are broken. Thanks for your help.

    Freakonomics claim car seats overrated

    http://www.freakonomics.com:80/times0710col.php I posted information about car seats to my local group, and one mom posted back that five point restraints could lead to increased possibility of broken necks in rollover accidents. She also sent the link above to the group. While we are at it...

    Safeguard v. Regent?

    How do you compare the Safeguard with the Regent? Also, if a Safeguard is used with five point restraint, can a seatbelt still be used? What do you think about the Safeguard Go in terms of a backup seat? Do you think it is an acceptable seat to substitute for a Regent? Thank you for your...

    Sister's New car, want it to fit Regent

    My sister is planning to buy a new car. Right now she is considering a Toyota Camry, but I am concerned that she won't be able to pick up my children in Britax Regents in a Camry. Will one, or even two Britax Regents fit in the backseat of a Camry in real life? If not, are there any reasonable...

    Width of Shoulders, not just height?

    In another thread, I took the advice of the CPSTs on this board and bought a Britax Regent. We love the seat. I noticed that my four year old dd now has plenty of room for her shoulders and legs. However, now my two year old dd appears crowded, even though she is only on the next to the top...

    Recaro v. Regent for four and a half year old

    My daughter just turned four and a half years old. She appears to have almost outgrown her Marathon, even though she only weighs 42 pounds, because her shoulders are even with the top slots. She is 43 inches tall. We have a 2005 Toyota Sienna XLE with captains chairs in the second row. It has...
