    Input on Volvo XC70 integrated booster seats?

    I am going to have to replace my VW Passat TDI and am looking at Volvo and the XC70 has the integrated booster seats. I am interested in these mainly for my 10 yr. old who I anticipate needed some kind of booster until she is 12 or 13 (she uses the Safety First Incognito) as she is 55" tall and...

    Britax Parkway vs. Chicco Kid Fit or something ekse

    I am hoping this is my last car seat purchase. Dd2 is 45" tall and 42lbs. She is outgrowing the Britax Blvd. 70 so we need a belted booster. We have a Graco high back Turbo which is fine for driving around town, but Dd1 hates being in it for more than 2 hrs. so she at 9 (53" tall and 60lbs...

    Next seat for an almost 9 yr. old

    DD1 will be 9 in April (51" tall and 61lbs fully clothed with shoes) and has been the Frontier 80 since she was 3/1/2, and as a booster since she was 5/1/2. She loves this seat because it is so comfortable, but with DD2 (turns 5 in April and 43" tall and 40lbs) she is close to outgrowing her...

    Britax Pioneer vs. Evenflo Secure Kid DLX (400)

    I have found both seats for about the same price, with the Pioneer 70 being about $5 more. If you have used both which one do you prefer? We have a Frontier 80 so while I know the Pioneer will be no Frontier 90 I know and hope it will be just a little bit better than the Frontier 80. The...

    Would you buy another high back booster for an 8 yr. old?

    My DD2 (almost 4, 41" and 35lbs) is outgrowing her RA55 so I need to move her to our Frontier 80 (harnessed) so I need to move DD1 (almost 8, 48" and 47lbs.) back to our spare Graco Highback Turbo, which she doesn't like nearly as much as the Frontier (which she uses as a belted booster). DD1...

    Need a comfy high back booster for 2012+ VW Passat

    DD1 has been in a Graco high back Turbo or a Britax Frontier 80 as a belted booster since she was 5/1/2 (almost 2 yrs. now), but as of recently she has been saying just how much she likes the Frontier 80 because it is more comfortable. We tried it in the Passat in January when we got our car and...

    Question How old were your kids when they outgrew an RA 55?

    Just curious how long of a life kids are getting in the seat. DD2 still has a fair amount of headroom, but I think I am more concearned she'll outgrow it before she does for the height because of the shoulder straps. She is 39-40" tall and already in the top shoulder straps. She is forward...

    3 car WWYD? (01 Corolla, 06 Pilot, & 13 Passat)

    We just bought a new 2013 VW Passat sedan, which will be my primary car. We are debating about keeping our 01 Corolla as a commuter car because it gets such great mileage and then also keeping our 06 Pilot and basically just use that on weekends or for trips where we need to take our dog places...

    Question Help! Need help with rfing RA55 install in 01 Corolla!

    We have installed the RA55 rfing in the Corolla and it is not tight at all. DH did it with latch, and with the belt, but neither way is tight so we have way more than 1" of movement on the seat (we didn't have this issue with the Triumph 5). DH says the seat is fully reclined (and it still...

    Question How long will an Evenflo Tribute last rear facing?

    DD2 is currently in a Triumph 5 (exp. 9-'12) and is happily rear facing, however the harness knobs make it a pain to get her out of the seat rfing (DH did mention turning her around, but I said no). I just saw that both Target and Amazon have the Tribute on sale right now for less than $60...

    3 across in boosters in 3rd row 06 Pilot?

    I am assuming since there are three top tether spots in the back row this should work, but does anyone have any experience with this? I know I should be able to do 2 back there easily, but told the coordinator I might potentially be able to do 3 across. If it matters any I will most likely...

    WWYD? Sell Frontier 80 or keep?

    I just tried the Frontier 80 in our 06 Honda Pilot and DD1 is complaining that she can't reach the buckle, which I think is because the seat is a little wide. I am going to go and get another Turbo Booster at Target, which she had no problem belting herself in (I'll post photos in another post...

    Width of Boost Air Protect and Graco Turbo Booster

    Which is narrower? I am leaning towards the Boost Air Protect, but it looks to be wider to the Graco Turbo Booster. I can't get a Boost Air Protect locally. ETA: I need it to be narrow because of the potential issue of transporting my DCP's 9 yr. old son in my DH's 01 Corolla. It will have to...

    would you let a large 9 yr. old sit in the front seat?

    My DH will most likely be taking my DCP's 9/1/2 yr. old son to school a few times a week (DD1 will go to the same school) in our 01 Corolla, he is tall, not quite 5'0" and weighs about 100 lbs. Would you be comfortable with him in the front seat in that car or in the front seat of our Pilot? I...

    If you had to buy a HBB for a 5 yr. old today WWYD?

    I don't need to but for some lame reason I am itching to buy DD1 a high back booster, but we don't need another seat, she in a Frontier, and a Safegaurd Go. Part of it is that she keeps asking me for one, and the other part of it is the stupid "oh she is starting kindergarten, and all of her...

    did your or will your kids have any input on when they become unharnessed or when they don't need a booster?

    Or what seat they move to or when they can go without a booster? Our state law for boosters is 6 and 60, but I know I have a personal goal of 80lbs for my girls before I will even think of not having them in some sort of child restraint. So I am not flexible on that but everything else I think...

    can anyone provide pictures of 5-6 yr. old in a buckled Frontier?

    DD1 (born 4/4/06) is 42" tall, and 41 to 42lbs (estimate) with clothes on. DD1 has been riding in Graco Turbo Booster in my DCP's car three days a week to and from preschool; it's a 10 minute drive from the DCP's house for the last year. DD1 is very well behaved in the car and takes being safe...

    Question poll: WWYD? Seats for an 01 Corolla, and an 06 Pilot

    We know for sure we are buying at least one Cowmoo Britax Blvd. and are potentially getting another seat for DD2 to use in his Corolla that she'll be able to use in that car until she 5 or 6 and outgrows the convertable (the seat we have for her now, Evenflo T5 expires in Sept., 2012, she'll be...

    Question how long did your child rear face in a Britax BLVD?

    I am looking at the new BLVD 70 for DD2. Of course the seat is too new to get an accurate current take on how long it will last most children so please post your results for the older 33, and 35 models too. Did you child outgrow it by weight or height first? I am new to the whole ERF world (we...
