    Sedan for $8500

    DH's Escape is either done for or nearly done for and we are trying to figure out what to replace it with. He drives about 70 miles round trip to work. My sons are 8 & 9 (x2, twins), my daughter is 4.5. In his car the boys would be in NBB and my daughter in a HBB. His escape has no center...

    ACK! Early Intervention Bus Questions!

    My daughter (recently turned 3, 36lbs and FF in a FR85) qualifies for a once a week speech group two towns over. It's about 20/25 minutes from my house. Because of the group they want her to be in I have to be able to have her bussed one way or I have to make two separate trips because of...

    In Search Of Pink Frontier85 Cover

    I'm hoping to redress one of my Frontier85s in pink for my daughter when she flips FF. I'm willing to buy or could trade a red cover :) TIA!

    Inexpensive umbrella stroller?

    I have a Bob that I love but it takes up the whole space of the back of my Expedition. I don't usually keep it in the car for that reason. Since DD usually resists being in the Boba I want something that can stay in the car. I'm looking to spend under $50 and I'm open to second hand. Ideas?

    No back vs. high back?

    Boosters are completely new to me, DS1 & DS2 have ridden in a hbb back and forth from school (.5 mile each way) maybe 6 times. What is the safety difference in the boosters though and at what point do you switch from hbb to nbb? I'm just asking out of curiosity, time to start educating myself on...

    Retrofitting (or similar) seat belts?

    DH's 4Runner died back in June. He traded his buddy it for a running '89 Bronco II. I'm excited to have another rig that kids can ride in (the 4Runner didn't have a proper backseat). The problem is the back seat is lap belt only. DH wants to keep this as a camping/beach rig even once he gets a...

    Word is spreading!

    Yesterday I met a woman in a parking lot to sell something I had listed on Craigslist. DD was crying because she was hungry. I opened the back door to get her and the play mat out. The woman said "Aww poor baby, you don't like the seat? And to think they *have* to be like that until they are 2...

    Can someone link me a FB friendly...

    article/pictures/videos of why it is so important to not put kids in a NBB instead of a HBB? I'm trying to subtly send a message to my SIL and some moms of my older boys preschool classmates. Something short and to the point is going to be the best tactic. Thanks!

    Techs! What do you do with your certification?

    Do you do clinics? Do you use your information just to keep your kids safe? Is it required for you job? I ask because I have gone back and forth over the years about getting certified. It has really been on my mind again lately. I wouldn't take the class until DD weans which is a year or more...

    Maclaren Quest with two skins

    The same stroller was listed a while back. I'm selling mine because I want a Bob! This stroller is in great condition. The pink skin has been used one time inside only, the gray and orange skin does show more wear but is still in nice condition. I bought it when DS3 was about a year old but it...

    If you needed to buy a convertible for a girl

    what would you buy? She's a chunky little thing at nearly 20lbs and only 4 months old but so far she has taken after DS3 so I imagine she will slow down around 18 months. I really only need a seat to ERF her in. Once she flips forward she'll move into one of the FR85s. I'm willing to spend up...

    How to booster train in this situation?

    I figure I'll probably start booster training my twins in 12 to 15 months. Their elementary school is half of a mile from our house and I figured to and from would be the start of our training. Here is the issue. They are in FR85s and I have 4 kids. There are two available seats left in my...

    If you had 3500 to spend on a car...

    that would be primarily used as a commuter car (so good gas mileage is a must!) but would also be used on a semi-regular basis to transport up to three children what would you look at? DH drives about 65 miles round trip for work five days a week. Our three boys are all FF and would be in...

    Will a KF30 fit Graco's Snap n Go?

    Judi is graciously letting us borrow Miro for new babe in September. I'm mostly a BW'er so I don't think I'd be using it much but there might be instances that I need to leave her in the bucket for a bit so a stroller frame would be fantastic. I don't want to spend much money on one and a...

    Large 4.5yo chances in a Scenera?

    I offered to pick up a friend and her two boys for a play date next Wednesday. I have two Sceneras at my disposal and know that they will fit in any of the three available seats in my Expedition. What are the chances that her large 4.5 year old with fit in the Scenera? My gut tells me probably...

    Can I use a new customer code and referal code at diapers.com?

    :scratcheshead: I was just looking to see what the final price would be for a new RN65 and diapers.com. I've never ordered from them before but when I entered the promo code of "PARENTSSEP10" and a referal code from here it told me the first time code couldn't be combined. What gives?

    DH's 85 4Runner

    My DH is planning on taking our older two boys camping just the three of them in a few weeks leaving me home with our 2.5 year old. DH drives an 85 4Runner but the back seat is missing some kind of bolt so it's useless. This leaves only the front passenger seat. The truck has no airbags. Would...

    How can I protect the cover?

    This afternoon my youngest fell and hit the back of his head, he now has a nice gouge and two staples in the back of his head. I had a towel covering his wound on the way to Urgent Care with a baseball cap over it on the way there but he did get some blood on his MA cover on the way home, I...
