    Spica cast help

    I have a friend whose 22 month old broke his femur and is in a spica cast. It has the bar connecting the two legs and is 1 1/2 legs. They couldn't get him in his car seat for the drive home from the hospital and ended up just holding him. Do you have any recommendations? The hospital did not...

    He hates the Sureride

    I Bought it to transport him up to Indy for his many hospital trips. The infant seat expired and I didn't want to have to keep reinstalling the Radian. He hates it. The buckles dig into his chubby little thighs. I was trying to be so careful buckling him in and I still pinched a bit of his thigh...

    Opinion on this fit

    Here is Charlie in his new Sureride. This is the car seat for my husband's car for his many hospital trips. Do you think the buckle is going to be painful the way it digs into his thighs? Is he too chubby for the seat? Would it be better if I took the pillow out? Yes, he has some serious thighs.

    Budget convertible for big baby

    I have a 23lb, 28.5 inch 9 month old in need of a convertible car seat. He rides in a Sunshine Kids RXT in our Sienna. He has some medical issues and I take him up to a children's hospital in Indy several times a month and use my husband's car, leaving the van so our other kids can be...

    Harness strap covers on GN

    I have just read through the manual 3 times and can't find this, but I remember reading a few years ago that the harness strap covers have to be removed very early. Does anyone know offhand? I would like to use them if they are ok to use, but I am thinking they probably aren't. My son is 3 1/2...

    Diono Angle Adjuster

    http://us.diono.com/accessories/angle-adjuster So what is the consensus on this? Is it safe? Can I use it with a SK RXT? My baby is currently in the Keyfit but I plan to move him to the Radian as soon as my replacement Graco buckle comes in so I can move his brother into the Nautilus. I just...

    Which convertible for a newborn?

    My baby is three weeks old and riding in an old Keyfit. It expires soon but I was planning to use it up to the end and get a convertible for him when he was a bit bigger. Today the chest clip broke. It no longer stays latched closed. I don't know if it's from my toddler buckling and unbuckling...

    Quick Radian help

    I have a SK RXT. It has been a long time and two moves ago since it was used RFing. I'm ready to use it RFing again for my next child. I can't find a boot for it now. Am I remembering correctly that it is supposed to have a piece you snap on the bottom to install RFing?

    Best deal on Keyfit? or Graco?

    I am expecting number 4 in September and our Keyfit expires in August. My husband wants to use it anyway, but I won't. Our BIL offered us his Keyfit and I thought we were all set but he can't find it. He gave us 2 bases but can't find the actual car seat. His didn't expire until August '14 so it...

    Booster or FF w/o tether?

    If you had a 46 pound 5 year old who already has shown she rides well in a booster in another vehicle and had to install her seat in a spot that does not have tether anchors would you choose to put her in a harnessed Nautilus untethered or remove the harness and use the Nautilus as a booster?

    Nautilus seat belt install in Sienna

    I generally consider myself pretty good at installing seats, but this one is driving me crazy. I have installed my daughter's Nautilus in the rear seat of our '08 Sienna with LATCH with no issues. I've installed it in my husband's Elantra with the seat belt with no issues. I didn't think I would...

    Evenflo Maestro as a booster

    Does the Evenflo Maestro make a decent booster? I bought one for my son last year when we were visitng my in-laws. He had just turned 3 and I thought we would only use it one week a year and he was well within the limits. I figured next we flew up to visit I'd just bring the right seat we needed...

    Wow! I knew the lowest slot on MA was high, but shocked

    I have a MA that I used with my oldest two. I didn't put them in there until they were about a year, but I also didn't think to check if it fit them, it was before I knew better. My youngest is 9 months now and has been using a Keyfit. He is starting to look squished in there, he's a big boy...

    How big is a Maestro?

    I've never seen one in person. I will need to do a 3 across in an Accord and I have a Radian and will be using a RF Comfortsport. I can bring our Nautilus with me, but my MIL has offered to go out and buy a Maestro. Is it comparable in width to a Nautilus or is it narrower? If it's a smaller...

    3 across in an Accord or Prius?

    We're traveling in a few months and will be borrowing a relative's car when we arrive. We will have a choice of either an Accord or Prius. We have 3 children. The car seats they will be in are a Radian FF, Maestro (harnessed), and Comfortsport (RF). We also have a Nautilus which we don't plan to...

    Nautilus Elite back at Costco

    My Costco had the Nautilus Elite for $130 about 2 months ago. I picked one up then and posted about it, but many people commented that their Costco didn't have it. Mine ran out in just a week and hasn't had any since. I just noticed that it's back. So if you're looking for a good deal on the...

    Can you get a tether installed in 08 Sienna?

    I would like to install a Nautilus or FF Radian in the passenger side of the rear row, but it does not have a tether anchor. Can you add a tether anchor to that spot? I won't use a FF seat in that spot if I can't, I do have other options, it just seems to be the ideal layout for our family if I...

    Need a tech near Tempe, AZ

    Someone my sister knows through a homeschool group has asked me to install 3 seats for her. I feel uncomfortable doing this since I don't know her myself and I'm not a tech. I can normally do good solid installs, but I still have issues with some seats. I know there are a few techs in the...

    5 Clicks rule with Toyota Sienna

    Somehow I never noticed this rule before today. I went back and reclined the 2 captain's chairs to 5 clicks for my LATCH installs. It basically makes the back row unusable. There is no way I could fit a RF seat or an adult in the back row with the middle seats reclined that far. As it is I think...
