    Car seats after car accident

    I was rear ended yesterday pretty hard. We are all fine thank goodness. It was not my fault and the other driver is accepting complete responsibility. My car is in the body shop and I will have a rental car for at least a week. In that car, I have a Graco Turbo Booster and a Britax Marathon. I...

    Graco Highback Turbobooster Install?

    I posted a few weeks ago about my Frotier 85 install not fitting right and being very difficult to buckle/unbuckle in my Traverse. I've had it! I went and bought a turbo booster high back seat today instead to try. I am attaching some photos as I am hoping to get some input on if this is a good...

    Frontier HBB Install

    I am struggling to get my son's Frontier 85 installed in HBB mode. We have bucket seats in my Chevy Traverse. 1) The LATCH strap doesn't appear long enough to reach to both anchors. I do not see extra slack to pull to extend the strap. I can connect one of the LATCH sides but not both. 2) The...

    We just got the seat and I have 2 questions- 1) the shoulder strap adjustment- I am debating b/w 2 settings. one setting is slightly above my sons shoulders and the lower setting is kind of right at the shoulder but slopes down a smidge. Which one am I better off with? I'm thinking the one...

    true fit question

    My baby is 7 months old and is now moved out of her infant seat. She is using my sons true fit from 2 years ago. She is on the 1st slot for the harness height. Her shoulders are just above the first slot, so if I am reading the manual correctly, she no longer needs the height insert correct...

    Would you feel comfortable using this device(the newer version) for a JUST turned 3 year old and a JUST at 30 lbs. kid?

    We will be buying 2 of these for my DS. He is about 34 lbs. His current seats (True Fit/Marathon) will be passed down to my 7 month old. I am concerned about the head slump I keep reading about on here in the Nautilus. Does the Elite solve this issue and if so, how much more does that seat...

    Car seat is tilited a bit...

It appears that the tether is causing the seat to tilt a bit to the that side, it would do the same thing I imagine if...
