    Supernatural Carseat Use

    I'm a geek. I watch a television show called Supernatural wherein two brothers fight the powers of evil, simply because they were raised to do it and now they're sort of addicted to the lifestyle and all its vices. SPOILERS FOR LAST WEEK'S EPISODE! STOP READING NOW TO AVOID SPOILERS! . . ...

    Stroller canopy removal?

    My friend picked up a second-hand stroller for her son. It hadn't been washed. It's not SO bad--there are a few stains I won't be able to get out, but it's not so bad and for ten bucks, it's pretty good. It's a safety 1st 06 model. Is there any way to get the canopy off? I've gotten the...

    Replacement parts for Canadian snugride

    My friend washed the straps for her Canadian snugride. It's a 22 lb snugride. Her son is, I suspect, too heavy for it. She's using public transit right now, so it's not a big deal but it does need to be replaced at some point. Aside from having washed the harness (in the shower, due to...

    May be an idiot...

    Evidently I'm an idiot. I'm looking for the gallery that was closed to new admissions a couple years back that has pics of older kids rear-facing. I know Wendy's Piper is in it. I want to show it to a friend of mine. Can anyone link me?

    Eddie Bauer 3-in-1 recline

    I went out with my friend's nephews recently and the older boy's EB3in1 is forward facing at what appears to be a 45 degree angle (the younger boy's is at a MUCH more reasonable angle). Is the seat ALLOWED to be that reclined in the forward facing position? I didn't get a good look at it, but...

    Hypothetical situation--WWYD?

    Note: The situation presented in the following post is PURELY hypothetical. I am not saying this just to say it, but because it is true. It popped into my head today while I was making a bagel. Please realize that it represents an IMPROPER USE situation and one should NOT take any answers as...

    Wind up swings

    I've looked around for some of my friends who were having babies. Does NO ONE make a wind up swing for babies anymore? I remember when my sister was a baby, we had this swing that you wound up this handle and then gave it a little push and it swung for awhile and then you wound it up again...

    Happy BRU moment

    So I went to BRU to get some supplies to have on hand for my very young houseguest this weekend, in case of emergency. As always, I checked out the carseats to see if anything new had come in. No new carseats, but there was a pregnant woman looking over the Eddie Bauer 3-in-1. She was trying...

    Successful rescue mission! (MY FIRST!)

    Successful rescue mission! (MY FIRST!) (and now announcing my second!) So my roommate had a job interview and got me from work after (he got the job, yay!). He mentioned that, on his way, he'd seen a carseat on the side of the road. I said "Oh dear... let's go see if the owners will let me...

    What would you suggest?

    My friends have just discovered they are pregnant. Ages ago, they both agreed that, since I was a carseat nerd, I would be deciding on the carseat for their firstborn. So now I get to do it. They drive a 2006 Honda Civic LX. He's 5'7, she's 5'6, so they don't need the seats WAY back. I...

    Toronto Metro Article about Carseats

    I was reading the Metro today and found this article: http://www.metronews.ca/toronto/live/article/507477--steps-to-ensure-child-seat-safety I was sad that they didn't use it to tell that rear-facing is safer, but I was REALLY upset by this line about booster use: I was bothered by the...

    Vent The Radian has a 22 lb rear face limit??? (Went to a store)

    UPDATE POST #55 So I went to a store in Toronto to see if they had the new Frontier (they did) and the "SL" Radians (they did), just to look because I was interested (and I'm considering getting the Frontier for me). I was all excited, one of the sales people came over. I was checking things...

    Tempted by the Frontier 85... for me!

    So I was just looking through the stats for the Frontier 85. Have to say, I'm tempted to track one down and try sitting in it to see if I'd fit in booster mode--I'm within the weight limits and am actually shorter than the maximum height requirements (though I know that's just a guideline and...

    Wooo--cheese shops + carseats!

    So I was talking to a woman about her Ergo today as I was cutting her cheese (I work in a cheese shop). Her ten month old was sound asleep in one, so we got onto the topic of how her baby gets more new stuff than she does. I said, excitedly "Yeah, there are all kinds of new carseats that just...

    Nursery University and carseats (Cabs and carseats)

    I was watching a documentary on parents in New York City getting their kids into the 'best' preschools last night, called Nursery University. Most of the families featured were quite wealthy, but used public transit and cabs for the most part. Each family had a 2-3 year old child. I didn't...

    Question Aftermarket Car Seat covers vs. 'showercaps' for infant Car Seats

    Okay, so we regularly talk about how aftermarket car seat covers are bad because, even if they fit correctly, they aren't flame-retardant like the 'real' covers, correct? We talk about how cuddle bags and stuff are bad and that you should use a shower cap style covering for your baby in the...

    How upright can these seats be installed?

    My friend's nephew is 20 lbs at six months, so they're in the market for a 40 or 45 lb rear-face seat. We're Canadian, so our options are, as I know them, the Radian (Premier or XT--have they REALLY gone to 45 lbs in Canada?), the Safety First Complete Air and the Graco MyRide 65. Right now...

    Would you, could you booster in the driver's seat?

    I've been thinking of this more and more lately, as I read things about 'proper belt fit' and so on. I know that there are many adults in many cars that the seat belt simply doesn't fit--I'm one of them. I'm okay in back seats a lot of the time, but if a seat has a longer rigid belt stalk...

    I've convinced a friend to keep rear-facing but...

    This little guy's a pretty heavy dude. He's either 18 or 20 lbs (I can't remember if his current carseat is 20 or 22 lb limit, but he's 2 lbs away from the limit!). My friend is going to 'look into' extended rear facing. Which means I need to get her a list of good seats while she's...
