    Challenger: Can one harness a big kid?

    Is there a seat that will harness a 49" 73# (tall torso) 6yo? She's in a high back booster that fits very well, but she does not sit still in her seat (frequently leaning over her little brother next to her, reaching for things, etc.). Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Suggestions for combo seat for 4 yo?

    So, it's looking like I will need to get my 4.5 yr old a new seat as his torso is too tall for the highest slots on his Radian (drat). Looking for suggestions for appropriate restraints that are relatively narrow (I have 3 in a second row, with the other two being a high back booster and a RF...

    4yo too tall for Diono Radian?

    I've recently noticed that the straps on my 4.5 yo's Radian seem to be below his shoulders. Something similar happened with his older sister, who also has a long torso (I was never able to use her Radian as a booster because she was too tall for the seatbelt to fit properly). What do you...

    Question BV child size limits (Canada)

    So, I thought I had my problem solved. We have a BV and a Radian XT. My 3 yo is at the weight limit for RF in the Radian (seriously, yes.) Thought I would just turn her around except then I realized my 15 month old is too tall to RF in the BV! Sooo....I'll just keep the younger one RF in the...

    Macklem's

    I think I've seen another thread venting about staff at Macklem's.....apparently it wasn't just a one-off. I went there to try to figure out what our next car seat purchase should be. (Found out our 6 week old does fit in his sister's BV.) However, the woman told me that my 22 month old (>32"...

    positioning 2 seats in Chevy Equinox

    Is there any information/logic to go by when deciding where to put 2 seats (apart from where they fit)? DD (19 m) is currently in the middle of the backseat in a RF BV. We'll be adding a little one in about 2 months in a Graco infant seat. Any rhyme or reason as to who should go where? I'm...

    Question Newbie and Q about BV height limit

    Hi all, I look forward to learning lots in these forums. I've been learning more and more about car seats since DD was born 18 months ago, but feel like there's a whole lot I still don't know. I've been poking around looking for info and did read the transcript of the Britax chat. Still need...
