    Hoping to help someone out who really needs a booster

    I have a graco airbooster with a date of manufacture of 06/08/2007 and a britax monarch with a date of manufacture that was in 2008, but the sticker was on the bottom and the writing has completely rubbed off and I don't remember the exact date. I really want these to go to someone who has a...

    This is in the 09 Mercury Milan owners manual, is it now acceptable?

    Combining safety belt and LATCH lower anchors for attaching child safety seats When used in combination, either the safety belt or the LATCH lower anchors may be attached first, provided a proper installation is achieved. Attach the tether strap afterward, if included with the child seat. Refer...

    2009 Mercury Milan opinions

    Does anyone here have any opinions on the 09 milan. I'm looking at downsizing from my expedition and have found one that I really like.

    Looking to downsize from expedition to car, what fits all of us and is safest?

    I have an 05 Expedition and I'm tired of spending $75 a week on gas. I want a car that can fit us, and is safe. I'm hoping to trade the expedition in. Trade in value at kbb.com is 12,200 for fair condition. It has fairly new tires, just had tie rods on one tire, and brake pads and rotors on...

    How long do you think she has left in her radian?

    I know I'm going to need a frontier, but I want to get the best deal I can find on one, so I'm wondering how long you all think I have to look around. She's been in the seat for about 20 minutes here, so she's had time to settle in. And this is from Sept, just for comparison. Most of her...

    Which seats have a taller harness than the radian?

    The nauti doesn't install well and I didn't care for it when we tried it for Isaiah. It was tight side to side but if I pulled on the front the whole seat just slid forward. Is the frontier my only choice? Just wondering what else is out there. Kaitlin is 3.5 years old and even with or just...

    Latch question, 2010 or 2011 Ford Taurus

    My truck is in the shop, probably for a week or so. My rental is a Taurus. I think it's an '11 because it only has 6k miles on it, but it may be a '10 for all I know. There is no manual in the car. I need to fit all 3 kids in the back. Can I use Latch in the center for Kaitlin's RN? And...

    ford seatbelt failure on cbs evening news

    The seatbelt didn't unbuckle but apparently it locked then loosened enough to eject him. Any thoughts? http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2010/11/19/eveningnews/main7071762.shtml?tag=cbsnewsTwoColUpperPromoArea

    Our rear facing days are officially over

    I just wanted to share with people who understand! I wanted to get to at least 4. I bought a rn 65 when Kaitlin was 31lbs and had just turned 2 because we had a 33lb marathon. I thought the 40lb rf'ing limit would be enough to get to 4. We had some install issues with the rn as she got...

    So I fought and fought with the RN and managed to get a good, upright, rfing install then......

    I took Kaitlin in for her checkup and she weighs 37lbs without shoes or a sweatshirt.:eek: I don't even have a working scale here so weighing her a few times a week isn't an option (we have a 65sl, so it rf's to 40lbs). Now I get to go back outside and reinstall it ffing. :(

    Please tell me there's a hope of making it to 5 or 6 in the radian!

    I really want to make it to 6 harnessed, but when we got the rn I agreed it would be the last harnessed seat we bought. So, is there any chance of making to to 6, or at least 5? Sorry for the size, I resized it in photobucket but the image code for the resized pic still gives me this?!

    Anyone else have trouble getting the RN sl models tight with latch?

    I had the RN65 and had trouble with the adjuster sticking in the up position. Russ was kind enough to send me a new one, but it's the 65sl. I went to put it in with latch ffing and noticed that the release is different (as well as the connectors but I've already seen a post on that!). I did...

    tried my tall 3yr old in ma70 today.....pic included

    I really really wanted her to have some room in this rfing. I tried it on the test bench first and took one pic. It wasn't worth a trip outside to try it in the car. Kaitlin hasn't been measured in a while but I would say she's somewhere around 41 inches tall. I knew she was long in the...

    would you get a new seat to rear face?

    Kaitlin is now ffing in her radian. It kept over reclining with her in it and was a PITA to reinstall all the time to try to keep it from happening. I tried every trick I could find in here, but it kept happening. We finally turned her a few weeks before she turned 3. I would like to have...

    what would you do if neither option was safe?

    A little background: my friend's son is 6 and almost Isaiah's size. He went into a turbobooster that I wasn't using when he was 4 (it was that or a backless). The turbo expires June next year, child will be 7. He is already in a backless in dads car. If I tell them the turbo expires in June...

    anyone else had this problem with a radian?

    When I put Kaitlin in and tighten the straps the metal lever thing that the pull strap runs through (I'm sure it has a name but I can't think of it!) stays up. This has only been happening in the last few days that I've noticed and I have remembered to push it back down. Yesterday dh put her...

    tallest booster that isn't the frontier

    I haven't posted in a while, and to be honest I'm way out of the loop on what's current since we bought the radian for Kaitlin. Michael has been in a backless airbooster for some time now, and usually I'm comfortable with that. However, both boys are going on a long (10+ hours) trip with dh's...

    recaro date of manufacture/expiration question

    Does recaro have a 6 year expiration? I went to Big Lots to check out the vivo and they all had manufacture dates of 09/27/2007, so they are 2 years old. If they expire in 4 years are they worth $65? Are the ones I'm seeing new online for $89.99 going to have the same dates? I assume they...

    recaro vivo compared to monarch or airbooster

    Big Lots has the vivo for $65 and I was considering it for Isaiah. That would let me put Michael in the monarch in the 3rd row. He just fits in it in the 3rd row, and normally I'm comfortable with him in a backless in the 2nd row, but we are planning a road trip next month and he still sleeps...

    Question with pictures about locking clip and radian rear facing foot/boot damage

    I have emailed Russ with pictures about the damage, but wanted to know what you guys think as well. The damage is from a latch connector that was used to install the seat. I moved the seat over and made sure it wasn't near a latch connector when I re-installed it. Also, can the locking clip...
