    Vent I am quite frustrated! Why can't we find a tech in Montreal?

    I am doing a field placement for school (internship type deal) at a CLSC in Montreal. I help out at the post natal group for families. One of the nurses asked me for my opinion on what topics should be covered and I suggested car seats. We work in an area of the city that has a dense immigrant...

    AOE and TF Installation Pics

    Sorry to be a hog and start yet another new thread. I tried to just edit my title of my other thread but it didn't change how it looks in the forum. The AOE is for my 23lb, 35inch 2 yr old. And the TF for my 17.5lb, 27 inch 6 month old. The TF is slightly more reclined than the AOE. But not...

    Question Pool Noodle Question

    DH went and got some pool noodles to install the seats so that I could have the towels back. But to get the 30 degree angle for DD (28m old) one noodle is not enough and two is too much. Can I cut one in half? Lengthwise? If not we'll put it more angled but I had DH try sitting in the...

    Question 30 degrees for a 2 yr old?

    Is that ok? in an AOE? I had been reading here and on another board that once a baby can hold their head up well the car seat can be at a 30 degree recline rather than 45 degrees. We transfered DD to the AOE at around 8 months and have never had it at a 45 degree angle due to this. So today I...

    Question Does this look frayed to you?

    I have already contacted the company of the car seat and they asked me to email pictures. I'm just waiting on the response as to whether or not they feel the seat needs to be replaced. I guess I'm just looking for second opinions. It worries me, so if they say it's fine I need to know if I...

    I can't get the latch belt tight enough. We have an alpha omega elite deluxe rf in a 2003 grand am. The seats of the grand am are extremely slanted and we have TWO towels rolled underneath.
