    Question May have to turn DD before 3...?

    Have a 5.5 yr old (FF harnessed in a Frontier 85) and a 2.5 yr old RFing in a Boulevard 65 CS that will expire in the spring. RFing weight limit on the Blvd is 35 lbs. and DD is 31.5 lbs...wearing a 4T or 5T. We also have 2 TrueFits (one expires next summer, one is newer). My plan was to turn...

    Frontier 85 in 3rd row of Ford Explorer?

    I have a 2014 Ford Explorer with the inflatable seat belts in the 2nd row. Right now, I have my 2.5 yr old RFing in an older Britax Blvd (2nd row passenger side) and my 5 yr old harnessed in a Frontier behind the driver. We removed the 2nd row console because the 2 yr old was kicking it to...

    Question 2014 Explorer: LATCH + Belt install?!

    We just bought a 2014 Ford Explorer with the inflatable seat belts. We are using Britax seats, so installing with a seat belt should be do-able. Here's what threw me: In the manual (page 34) it says, Combining Safety Belt and LATCH Lower Anchors for Attaching Child Safety Seats When used in...

    Seat for Grandparent's new Toyota Tacoma

    Looking for a recommendation for a seat for my parents to buy for my niece (6 months old, wearing size 6-9 mos) that one (or both) of my girls could also use very occasionally. My girls are 18 mos (25 lbs., 32", RFing) and 4.5 yrs (36 lbs., 42", FFing). They drive a new Toyota Tacoma, the kind...

    Question Which seat will install in a 2013 Toyota Tacoma Prerunner?

    Hello all. Another grandparent vehicle question. My dad has a 2013 Toyota Tacoma Prerunner (pre-runner?). Its the extended cab with the little doors in the back, and fold up-to-the-rear seats. He says it has two sets of LATCH anchors. We need to put a seat for my FF 4.5 yr old in it next...

    Help getting better recline: TF RFing in '09 Ford Edge

    My DD1 had a True Fit from birth, and we loved it--at the time I had an Escape. Enter DD2, born 12 days ago. We have a TF Premier for her in my '09 Ford Edge, and DH can't seem to get the recline right--her head slumps too much for my liking. DH says the car's seat is slanted back more than...

    Any combination seats with padding under the bum?

    DD will need a new seat when new baby arrives, so I'm thinking it is an appropriate time for a combination seat. Is there one with comfy padding under the bum, like her Boulevard has? The True Fit she's in now hurts her rear and turns it pretty red on longer car drives. She doesn't have any...

    True Fit Premier April 15 drop date?

    So set me straight--the TFPs that you can "pre-order" on Amazon to be shipped April 15, 2012 are just 2012 compliant? But the "sticks and stones" looks like a new cover too.... Would it be crazy to put my first-week-of-April baby-to-be in DD's used but unexpired TF until the new ones are...

    Narrowed it down to 3 --help me pick, please!

    So with DD (2/2009) we went with a convertible from birth, and it worked really well. For this baby (due 4/2012), I think we're going to try an infant seat. I went and played with as many as I could, and the ones I like best are: Britax Chaperone Lamaze Via--tag said 35 lbs max, but I...

    Question Toddler and newborn side by side in a 2010 F-150 SuperCrew?

    Its time to start thinking about what seat(s) to buy for baby #2 (due in Mar/Apr), and I need help with a seat for DH's truck, a 2010 F-150 SuperCrew. DD will be 3 years old, and is presently RFing in a TrueFit in DH's truck (passenger outboard) and a Britax Blvd 70 (driver outboard) in my...

    Help with a RFing convertible for Gma's car?

    It's time for a seat for Grandma's car, now that we're living closer to her, but she drives a little Rav4 (maybe a 2001?). ATM, DD is 2.5 years old, 27 lbs., and ~35''. I'm not sure about her torso length. We have her RFing in a True Fit and a Boulevard in our vehicles, and would like to keep...

    4 adults & RF TrueFit in a 2003 Rav4?

    We're flying across country in a couple of weeks with DD (23 mos.), taking her TrueFit with us to use on the airplane and in the Grandparents' car. I've done this before and had no problem (on the plane or in their 2003 Rav4) but from what I remember, there was not a lot of room with one adult...

    RF TrueFit position in '03 Rav4 (LATCH lookup?)

    We're flying to see my parents tomorrow, and I'm taking DD (16 mos.) in her TrueFit. At the airport, we'll need to install the seat in my mom's 2003 Rav4, which we've never done before. I would prefer that DD RFs in the center position, but I'm not sure if this will be an option, and I'd like...

    Another RF tether point question!

    Hi All, thanks in advance for your thoughts on this. I have my little one (13 mos) rear facing on the driver's side in a Britax Boulevard CS (not sure if that makes any difference) in a 2008 Ford Edge. There's only one car seat in the back but the center position is not an option due to the...
