    Riding in a Limo??

    Dd age 9.10 who is perhaps a bit more than 50" and 50lbs has been invited to a birthday party involving limo ride. The girls are to be picked up at school in a PINK limo, go to the mall, go to an ice-cream shop and then off to a party 'place' to be all done up. My opinion is, no shoulder belt...

    replacement parts

    I'm wanting to replace the gray foam in my dd's Roundabout. I 'thought' I'd seen it for sale on the Britax site but now I don't see it. I just found buckle, harness and clip. I tried to call but was on hold forever and gave up for now. I have washed the foam in the past (milk spill) and it...

    Seat belts auto/emergency?

    Is there a date after which cars were made with automatically retracting belts (I think that's the name for the kind you pull out and they ratchet back)? My dad has a '96 jeep that he thought did but he went out and checked for me (we will be using the jeep to ride in to my parents from the...

    Baby Universe?

    Am getting ready to order another Parkway and a friend pointed out that these guys have some on sale (price depends upon cover). I may end up getting a 'full price' anyway but wonder whether this is a good site to order from. I remember one site being mentioned several times as saying they had...

    Recaro Young Sport

    Does this seat sit lower than say a RA or MA? My 5.5 dd is really getting tired of 'climbing' into her RA. I had thought I could tell her to hang on a bit until she inherits her sisters Husky ( I figured when she hits 40 lbs). But I'm now realizing that it will be a long time before she hits 40...

    Need a Booster for RARE use

    We may be flying to 'grandma's' in June. We will bring my 5yr old's Scenera but I don't want to haul my older Dd's Parkway along as well. What would be a good hb booster that literally might be used once a year for a few days and the rest of the time would be sitting in a closet?? I will ask...

    'shift happens'

    Anyone seen this? Totally off topic, but very thought provoking. http://www.glumbert.com/media/shift C.

    My Seat Check!

    I think the tech was a bit at a loss as to what to do! He 'shook' the RA which did not move and wanted to know 'how long did it take you to get that in'!! (as many times as I've done it, not long anymore) My seats passed and he was impressed. I was pleased because I figured they were fine but...

    Woo Hoo

    My dd's pre-school is scheduling a CPS speaker along with a limited number of seat checks in the coming weeks!!!! :D They (the parent board) are working on getting a nutritionist from Whole Foods to do a talk as well about healthy lunches and snacks!!!! :D Love it! C.

    Apex on Sale

    Albee Baby has the Bitmore (brown) Safety First Apex on sale for $109.00 ! All orders over $100.00 have free shipping too :) . Would it be crazy to get one for my 5 yr old who still fits her RA but is tired of climbing into it? (would it be less 'babyish'?) It sure would be great to use it for...

    SafeKids contact in Austin?

    Some e-mails of mine (and a recent field trip) have prompted some looking into having a CPS speaker come to dd's preschool!! :D Does anyone have a current contact for SafeKids or any other organization you know of who does such 'lectures' in Austin?? Thanks so much, C.

    routing belt for booster

    When using a booster, whether no back or high back, do BOTH the shoulder portion of the belt and the lap portion go under the 'armrest'? (As opposed to the lap going under and the shoulder going over) Is this something that differs from seat to seat? Thanks, C.

    L'il Critters

    The discussion on making healthy choices prompted me to send this. We buy these calcium chews for our girls at Costco. I think L'il Critters makes vitamins too. L'il Critters Groovy Calcium Gummy Bears with Vitamin D No Artificial Colors or Flavors no wheat (gluten) milk, eggs, peanuts, tree...

    Husky-appropriate harness height?

    Quick question. The Husky harness slots are more like 'holes'. When is it time to move the strap up? When the child's shoulder reaches the bottom, middle or top of the 'hole'? The manual simply says 'at or above'. Knowing now that the reason for 'above' is to avoid spinal compression I question...

    Wendy: Shanghai Info for you

    OK, got an e-mail from Carol yesterday. Here is what she had to say... She has never seen any seat belts in the back seats of any taxis. Some expats claim that 'Da Zhong' (a taxi co.) cars have seat belts but she and her husband have not experienced that. She suggests that you hire a driver and...

    New BV arrived!!!

    Dd's new seat came on the day after Christmas (I'd had it in my head that it might!) and what a nice present!! :D This is the BV that Britax sent us to replace the WIZ with the base that wouldn't click into upright position. The seat is awsome. DD is VERY pleased with the lovely purple and...

    Wizard Trouble...again

    OK, I'm going to make this quick hoping to get some answers before calling Britax... About a year ago I took my dd's WIZ out to look into a harness adjusting problem. While it was out I realized that the seat did NOT click into upright position. I sent the seat back, they gave me a new base and...

    Video promoting extended 5-pt use

    This link was forwarded to all the parents in my dd's pre-school. Apparently one parent watched it and sent the info to the director who then sent it out to all of us. A 3 yr old in a booster died after being thrown from a vehicle when his seatbelt failed. :( They feel had he been in a...

    Are all backless boosters equally

    effective at positioning the seatbelt correctly? I can see that I will be transporting some of dd's friends more often these days. Two in particular fit ok in the 3rd row but in the middle the belt rides up their bellys. I'd like to be able to purchase a backless to keep in my van for 'as...
