    Got a slightly used Chicco Cortina for under $80 at BRU.

    It was an already assembled one (Cubes pattern to go with a matching Keyfit 30) that looked like it might have been taken out on pavement for less than a day. The guy at checkout said it was likely a returned item. The price was about $136 on the label (I think it's $169 regular price) with...

    Repost: Just got our replacement KeyFit 30 Miro cover

    Apologies for reposting this. I posted it accidentally to the installation and technical questions forum when it really was a more general comment. I wasn't sure how to report it to the board moderators (other than flagging as inappropriate) to perhaps move it, so I reposted here. So on with...

    Just got our replacement KeyFit 30 Miro cover

    Recall that in the "Keyfit vs. Snugride" thread a couple of weeks ago, I mentioned that I had gotten a Miro pattern KeyFit 30 and noticed a few things. http://www.car-seat.org/showthread.php?p=1288069 First of all, I found that they yellow color on the cover (but not the canopy edge) was an...

    Anyone here taken a child car seat to Yosemite?

    It's my favorite place in the world, but they've got black bears that know how to break into cars. It's one of the few places in North America where that happens. I haven't gotten to the point yet where I've taken a child car seat there, but I remember the National Park Service would recommend...

    Infant Seat Fabrics

    Well, it's been interesting getting up to speed on the variety of different car seat brands/models, features, price ranges, etc when it comes to protecting an infant. I've done a lot of research before and after I bought my final (I hope) infant seat for this go-round and the one thing that...

    Bottom tether for infant seats/bases?

    I know it isn't a feature present in US spec'ed infant seats. However - I was playing around with a few infant seat bases and realized that they could fly backwards since it's not locked down. I realized that it's rear-facing in case of a head-on crash, but I've been in vehicle collisions...

    Question Why do infant car seat bases have brand names on the inside?

    I can't quite figure out why every single infant car seat base I've seen has the brand name displayed on the inside edge. I would think that the brand name would generally be visible, but every one I've seen (Chicco, Safety 1st, Graco, Combi, etc) have the brand name where it would be hidden...

    Safety 1st OnBoard 35 - return it for a Chicco KeyFit 30?

    OK - my wife is going to read this to help us decide. I had my eye on the onBoard 35 Air for a while, but initially bought and returned the basic onBoard 35 after buying it from Target on sale. Then I ordered the onBoard 35 Air from diapers.com, which arrived in less than 24 hours from their...

    Question SafeGuard used to make child seats?

    Again - I'm new to all this, but I searched the archive for "SafeGuard" and found a whole lot of hits for car seats that seemed to cost a small fortune and don't seem to be on the market any more. I was under the impression that a big part of their business was car seat parts like harness...

    Infant seat options for small car

    I started out by getting the Safety 1st OnBoard 35 $80 special (22375) at Target yesterday, but returned it after trying it out. I wasn't happy with the fabric materials and base. The fit was iffy, and I realize that I was trying to use the LATCH system in the center even though it wasn't...
