    Insurance replacing our carseats, which ones to buy?

    We had DD (7) in a Graco Turbobooster, DS1 (5) in a Radian 65, and DS2(3) in a Safety 1st Intera. The kids weren't in the car at the time of the accident, but the insurance co wants to replace the seats since the airbags went off. It's been a few years since I did carseat research so I thought...

    I have $4,500 to buy a minivan, which one?

    A Sienna is my first pick, followed by an Odyssey; but I'm not sure how realistic I am being considering our budget. A minivan is a must, we have 4 kids now. I was looking at Kia Sedonas but my SIL was saying how everyone she knew who had had one ended up trading them in right around 100k...

    Can't re-thread strap on Intera (help!)

    I took all the straps out of my Intera because I was going to use it as a temporary booster for DD. Well now I need it for DS2, so I have all the straps back in except for the one that attaches to the back and goes under and then through the bottom front. The one where you adjust the strap...

    Good narrow booster for 6 y/o?

    We have 3 across in a '01 Ford Focus ZTS and DS1 is almost out of his Intera. It will go to DS2 once he's outgrown the SafeSeat, and DS1 will then use DD's Radian (confused yet? :cool:). So, since a Regent will definitely not be fitting in our little car, what would be a good option for a...

    Friend wants me to check her baby's carseat

    Is there anything specific I should check/know? I believe she has this Eddie Bauer Convertable (they got it at Target). Her baby is about 9-10 lbs. I'll check her install (tightness, angle), strap height, and chest clip position; but is there anything else I should know to check for?

    Intera top slots ok for RF use?

    Just wondering if the top strap slots are ok to use rear-facing. DS is about 32 lbs and has a 13" torso, so we may not need them, but I wanted to check. I don't have the manual, the carseat is in transit from Albee atm, so I'm not sure if that info is in there (should be, right?). Thanks!

    Intera fabric question

    Sorry for all the questions here :o I was looking HERE, since it's on sale; but I was wondering if anyone knew whether it was soft fabric or not? I can get a black one locally (about a 1 hr drive), but it's $139, so if the houndstooth one is just as soft (the Target employee I talked to said...

    Outgrown FF seat question

    My DS is about 1/4-1/2" above the top slots in his current carseat. We've been waiting for our tax return to get him a new seat, but for a few different reasons it got delayed and I'm not entirely sure when we'll have it (hopefully within the next 4-6 weeks, but it's the govt, so who knows...
