    Vent Another rant about my in-laws' car seat misuse...

    I dropped my oldest off at my in-laws' tonight. We have reached a mutual understanding that my kids go nowhere with them unless I install my kids' car seats in their vehicles myself. I was doing just that myself this evening. I was installing DD1's Frontier and noticed our nephew's seat next...

    Question Seat dilemma -- WWYD?

    I have a huge WWYD? question...My husband is in the Navy, and he is away at training. My 3 daughters and I traveled to visit family while he is gone and to attend my brother's wedding. I have more car seats than I know what to do with at my house in Maryland, but no spare seats with me due to...

    Question Would you re-RF for a long trip?

    My oldest has been FF since she was 3 (she's almost 4 now). We're going on a long road trip in about a week, and she can RF in her sisters seat, since I was going to put the younger 2 in CCOs to save space. Would you RF her for a long trip? About 12 hours over 2 days?

    GREAT Combi CS this morning!!

    In my quest to clean covers on all car seats, I noticed the foam was cracked on one of my CCOs. This on top of a Recaro getting a chunk of foam bitten out of it did not make me a happy camper. I called Combi CS, and they asked me to email pics. I did, and they contacted me back extremely...

    Question Rearranging again... I'm probably over-thinking this...

    So, I'm still trying to rearrange seats and kids to go on our 10+ hour road trip to TN. I have to fit myself, my 3 kids, our dog, and all of our luggage in a Mazda 5. I have an almost 4 year old FF in a Frontier, a 2.5 year old RF in a CCO, and a 5 month old RF in a CCO. I tried it today with...

    Question Swap question for admin...

    I know I don't have enough points to post in swap, and I'm not wanting to post anything for sale, but I am desperately searching for an item, so I wondered if there can be an exception made so I can ask if anyone has it available. I have had two successful swaps as a buyer if you need to ask...

    Question Big trip coming up... LOTS of questions!

    In about three weeks I am going on a 10+ hour trip to Tennessee to visit family while my husband is gone for training. I'll be taking my 3 children and our 30ish lb. dog. I drive a Mazda 5 and have a 3.5 year old FF in a Frontier, a 2.5 year old RF in a RECARO, and a 5 month old RF in a CCO...

    Question Maxi Cosi Mico expiration...

    Does it have a 5 year or 6 year life span? I'm wanting to give it to my cousin who is expecting, but I want to make sure I school her on expiration dates before I do. Thanks!

    Vent Seriously...?

    I think I've touched on this subject before, but here it goes again... I'm moving my 3 month old from a Maxi Cosi Mico to a CCO. I really don't care for the bucket, and wouldn't have used it at all except that my LO was a NICU baby, and had to pass all of their damnable car seat tests despite...

    Tech in my area...

    Since it doesn't look like I'll be able to get certified anytime soon with the nearest class being 2 hours and 5 months away, are there any techs in my area? We just moved, and I'd love to have my seats re-checked, and talk about some recommendations for when the middle one outgrows her RF...

    Question Why are people...

    ...so hung up on 2 things when it comes to ERF? 1) Leg room and 2) What if I get hit from behind? I've talked to many people about ERF at length, sometimes I'm asked for info, sometimes I'm asked why my 2 year old is still RF, and sometimes it's just to chat. These are the 2 major issues that...

    My new arrangement...

    So, I had to move things around in my 5 because our Neonatalogist wants Petra on the Apnea and Bradycardia monitor until she is 6 months old. In order for that to work in the car, I needed room for an adult to be able to sit next to her to check on her without unbuckling themselves if the...

    Question Harness v. HBB for special needs 6 year old

    My nephew is blind. He just turned 6 a few days ago, but is (and always has been) extremely tall for his age. He is currently harnessed in a Graco Nautilus. He fits all the requirements for being able to ride in his seat in booster mode, and since he started kindergarten this year, he ho...

    I think I rubbed off on my DH...

    DH was coming in from the hospital parking garage yesterday when he happened upon 2 people trying to get a Snugride out of their car. They couldn't figure out how to detach it from the base. He offered to help and showed them that big red handle that you pull to release it. The part that made...

    Vent I just hate this...

    :mad: A good friend of mine and I went to BRU this weekend to take advantage of the trade-in discount, as she was in the market for a good convertible seat for her 6 month old because she already has plans to ERF. :thumbsup: So proud! She ended up getting $80 off of a MA70 by trading in a...
