    Low Back Booster for Husky 7 Year Old

    So my 7 year old is built like a line backer. He's honestly not over-weight but he is THICK and tall. We just switched him from a high back to a low back and he's doing fine at sitting safely, but I want a second booster. His hips are just uncomfortable in his current low back booster so I want...

    When to FF?

    DH is ready to turn DS. He'll turn 3 in two weeks. He's been RF in a roundabout (I think...one of those convertible britax ones). It is a PITA to get him in and out and I know he will be easier to deal with FF, but I'm paranoid as a rule. When is it time to make the big switch? I honestly cannot...

    CPST v. DH?

    My almost 6 year old twin DDs are in parkways and 5 month old DS is in a snugride. They are in a Ford Windstar typically (although temporarily in a Saturn Ion for repairs on the van). Anyway, we have never had our seats checked, so I took them to a free check at a consignment sale. DH has always...

    3 across...TIGHT

    So, my van broke down the other day. That was a bummer, especially as I was en route with the 3 kids on an out of town trip. Anyway, while we are trying to figure out the van's issues, I put the carseats in the Saturn for the first time. It's an Ion, and the baby is in a Snugride (low weight...

    Question about snugride canopy...

    We have lost the plastic pieces to hold the canopy on our snugride...they sell them at Graco for $2.50 each. But I'm a bit confused about how many we need for one canopy (it says "one section"). Can anyone help me figure that out? Is it four different pieces? Thank you!

    3 across in Saturn Ion?

    Do you guys think we could fit a Snugride and two HB parkways or possibly two HB Turboboosters in the back of our 2000 (I believe) Saturn Ion? I did a search and couldn't find much about the Ion with 3 across....and I'm not good enough with cars to know what other cars might be similar in...

    Can you guys look at our parkways

    and tell me what you think about the fit? I don't think they are going to be able to buckle these themselves for awhile, but we will just have to keep working on it. I am not thrilled with the way DD2's belt is hitting her. I think it's because the seat is off-center and so there is a bigger gap...

    Help! I think DDs are outgrowing Marathons!

    My twin girls are five and half years old, 45" and 42 lbs. They have been FF in the Marathons... I just realized that although their ears have not reached the top of the shell, it looks like with their long torsos their shoulders are pushing the top harnessed slots. :( Not really a good time to...

    Am I going to hate this carseat?

    So, DF offered to sell me a lot of barely used baby stuff that she purchased to use while visiting her parents. It was a great deal and I completely trusted her that the carseat was safe, so I bought a pack 'n play, swing, high chair, and snugride seat for $60. Great deal! Everything is in...

    Cosco Scenera for just turned 3 year olds?

    Thanks for any advice on this! I saw that Overstock has a good deal on CS, thinking about buying 2 for DH's car. My twin girls are in Marathons FF in my car. They are 37.5"-38" tall and 32 lbs. I know that trying them out would be the best option, but I hate to miss the deal before I get a...

    Can you tell me anything about this seat?

    since it's such a good markdown, unless this is one of those unrealistic starting prices that Amazon does. I don't know anything about it and am wondering how it might compare to the Uptown? Thanks...

    Question Need 2nd Seats for Saturn Ion RF to 35lbs...

    ....but taking up a little less depth than Marathons? I would love a cheaper alternative to the marathons that are still RF to 35lbs and will maybe not be as hefty as the marathons. Is that a physical impossibility? My DH is 6'3"and for him to sit in the Ion, we just can't fit our Marathons RF...
