    Regent top tether question

    I was hoping to install my 2 regents in the 3rd row of my 04 Toyota Sienna. I wanted one on the passenger side and one on the driver side. Unfortunately, it appears that there is only a top tether hook on the middle and passenger side. Can I put the seat on the drivers side and tether it to the...

    Graco Turbobooster

    So I am thinking of keeping DD in a booster (I posted about my almost 7 year old - 45lber riding in a booster instead of her Regent now). We have a Graco Turbobooster. Is that a good choice for a full time booster or should I go with something else? What would you recommend?

    Are you comfortable with...

    an almost 7 year old (45lbs) riding in a booster? My DD will be 7 in January she finally put some meat on her bones and hit the 45lbs mark. She is bugging me to go back into her booster. We do a carpool thing and she hates for her friends to see her in a "baby seat". I know safety is...

    Britax CS ARGH!!!

    My son's HUGS broke on one strap. I called over 2 weeks ago and was on hold for over 1/2 hour. I finally get through and the lady asks if she can put me on hold for a second. I said "Sure". Well, she disconnected me. :mad: So I call back, hold for ANOTHER 30 minutes only to get an incredibly...

    Regent LATCH Install question (new straps)

    I finally got around to installing the new LATCH straps on one of the Regents. I had both of them installed SBP but DS only weighs 34lbs and I get a better install with LATCH. So I opened up the latch extender kit I got in the mail. I am doing it step by step (like any good car seat owner-...

Can i have the links...

    Is this OK re: Regent...

    I just got my LATCH kit in the mail from Britax. I have DD's seat installed with the short belt path (she is a tad over 40lbs). I have DS#1 installed wtih the LATCH that came with the seat. I havent done a thing with the new LATCH belts that I got. Since DS#1 only weighs 34lbs-ish is he OK using...

    Regent Question- LATCH??

    What is the difference between "long belt-routing method of installation with LATCH" and "short belt-routing method installation with LATCH". I have an 04 Sienna, 2 regents- one kid weighing 34lbs and one kid weighing 41lbs. Both seats installed with LATCH, recline bar and top tether. Now what...

    Is anyone going to stop using the Regent?

    Just curious with this whole advisory thing...is anyone not trusting the Regent now? Is anyone uncomfortable putting their child in it or am I just being a bit sensitive to this whole thing?

    LATCH Weight Limits

    I just pulled the manual out (04 Sienna) and read through it AGAIN and I cant find a mention of what my vehicle's latch weight is. Given the new "advisory" crap (sorry for the language) w/the Regent...I installed DD's with LATCH and its in good (she is 41lbs)- however, I am unsure if i can only...

    "Enhanced Performance" Regent BS

    :mad: What the heck is "enhanced performance"???? I just called to get my kit sent to me and I am soo irritated. The lady was great (she is new didnt catch her name). Anyways, she said the seat didnt fail any tests its all about "ehanced performance". Apparently for bigger kids it just works...

    Question- want opinions on FF seat

    So when I decide to turn DS#2 FF I am curious if I should keep him in the scenera or buy the Fisher Price Voyage seat OR put him in the Regent and put DD back in her Booster (Graco highback turbo).

    Scenera question (RF limit)

    I took my kids to the doctor yesterday and I plopped the baby on the scale to see how much he weighs. He is 17 1/2 months and 32lbs in just a onesie. Its very warm here so he wont be wearing much more than a onesie until the fall. How close to that limit (35lbs) are you comfortable going in a...

    Do I need new seats???

    I was driving home yesterday and hit something in the road. I couldnt avoid it because I was on a 2 lane road with oncoming traffic. It hit hard enough to cause a bit of front end damage- but I didnt stop and continued on. It felt like a hard thump. When I got home I saw the damage to my car. Is...

    Is this OK?

    My DS#2 (16 months and 30lbs RF in a Scenera) was "dancing" in his seat today. We were waiting to pick up DD and I turned around and the top of the scenera was moving from side to side. I have it installed with LATCH and at the base it doesnt move. But I guess since DS is so large the top part...

    Opinion regarding RF or FF

    I posted this in response to someone else's post and I wanted to get some opinions. I read that FF w/a tether is not ideal but OK....wanted more opinions, if you all dont mind. To follow up on this...my 15 1/2 month baby (who weighed almost 29lbs- naked) is RF in his scenera in the middle. I...

    OMG...cant believe what i just heard!

    I just picked up DD and saw one of the teachers visibly upset. So I ask if she is OK and she said that yesterday one of the students' Dad's was driving home from work and saw a 2 or 3 year old hanging out of the window of the vehicle. Apparently the child fell out and died!!! She said the child...

    Regent top tether question?

    We are taking my DH's F150 next weekend for a trip out of town. It has those funky truck top tether that I just cant figure out. I thought i had it but the tether was very loose when I unhooked it. For the Regents, if I use the recline bar and the long belt path is the top tether necessary? My...
