    Question Clek Oobr Booster and Caravan

    Anyone tried a Clek Oobr booster in the third row of a caravan or Town & Country? So far only the Monterey has been mildly successful for me back there, but still not great.

    Question Locking shoulder belt with booster

    I am trying to find a booster to fit the third row of my 2012 Chrysler Town and Country. I had read the Turbobooster, and the TB with Safety Surround were both good options, but I find the belt doesn't retract properly with either of these seats. I noticed someone else said they had success...

    Long Crotch Buckle with Keyfit

    Wondering if anyone has any experience with the Keyfit Magic? I am using the Magic for my 5 week old infant, and with the infant insert in place, the harness now is too low for her and needs to be moved to the second level. The manual says to use the insert only when the harness is in the...

    How to get toddler into RF seat in the back bench of a van?

    So we are having baby #3 and drive a 2012 Town and Country. I just rearranged the car seats for our 2 and 4 year olds (2 yr old 31 lbs RF, 4 yr old 41 lbs FF) to make room for the new infant seat and we chose to put the two older kids in the back row to allow us to keep one captain seat stowed...

    Buckling Seat in 3rd Row of SUV

    We are expecting our 3rd baby in a few months, and are starting to consider a larger vehicle. I know a van would be ideal for convenience, but I really like the ride in an SUV much better, as well as for driving in winter conditions, etc. I think the space in a Chevy Traverse is great...

    3 across? - Graco Snugride or Snugride 35

    Just wondering if the Snugride 35 is wider than the Snugride? We will be needing to fit 3 across in our Acura MDX (with the other seats being a Radian XT and a True Fit, or possibly 2 Radians). I like the height limits on the 35 since both my other kids outgrew the Snugride quickly, but if...

    Radian XT in Santa Fe: touching front seats?

    I know that the Radian is okay to touch/brace against the front passenger seats in a vehicle as long as the vehicle allows for it, but does anyone know if 2010 model Hyundai Santa Fe is one that it is okay in? I have installed the XT RF outboard, driver's side, and had to move the driver's seat...

    Advice for choosing new convertibles

    I'm planning to purchase 2 new convertibles for my 5 month old who is currently in a Snug Ride. I keep flip-flopping over what seats to get, so I could use a little help to steer me in the right direction. Info: We have a 2010 Hyundai Santa Fe and a 2010 Acura MDX. DS1 is 2 1/2 years and...

    Installation of Radian XT in Santa Fe and MDX?

    Does anyone have any experience with both RF and FF installs of the Radian XT in a 2010 Santa Fe and a 2010 Acura MDX? I've read lots of things about difficulties installing the Radian in some model cars, but haven't tried it. It would be outboard in the Santa Fe, and centre or outboard in the...

    Kia Sorento?

    Does anyone have any comments on the 2011 Kia Sorento? I know the first version of it didn't do well in side-impact testing, but apparently that problem has been resolved. Also wondering if anyone knows how many top tether anchors there are (2nd and 3rd rows), and if there are any seat install...

    Rear Side Air Bags

    What are people's thoughts on rear side air bags now-a-days? Have there been design changes to make them safe to use with child passengers? I know there is a Side Air Bag Out-of-Position Injury Technical Working Group, but I don't know what their recommendations are, or if all side air bags...

    Acura MDX, VW Touareg, Mercedes MLK

    Can anyone offer any info on these vehicles as far as overall satisfaction, as well as ease of install of car seats? We currently have one rear-facing True Fit, and soon will also have a Graco Snug Ride to install too. Looking at buying a new model of either of these 3 vehicles in the next...

    All-time Favorite Booster??

    Just wondering what everyone's first pick for their ultimate forward-facing/booster combo or standard booster would be if there are no other conflicting factors (i.e puzzling other seats, car type, price)? Just based on ease of use, comfort, safety, etc. Just getting ideas ahead of time.

    Headrest and shoulder belt retrofit?

    Just wondering if anyone knows if a retro fit for headrests and shoulder belts can be done on a 2000 Chevy 1/2 Ton Silverado truck? A friend has one that needs both, but says the dealer told her it can't be done. If the dealer is correct, are there any options for them? They have several...

    Need Opinions

    Hi everyone, I'm looking for opinions on what to do about this situation: I saw some pics recently of a friend's kids in their car (we know each other well, but don't stay in touch often). In the pictures, the kids (ages from about 6-12) are all asleep, and they are all leaning off to the...

    Rear facing weight limit in Canada?

    I thought I read somewhere that there is a 35lb rear-facing weight limit for all seats in Canada? Just wondering, because I know that ToysRUs is now selling the Safety First Complete Air which has a 40lb rear-facing limit (and it says that on their Canadian website, too). Is this incorrect...
