    Help with 2nd seat

    We need help finding a 2nd carseat to use for my almost 3 year old. He rides in a marathon in my car. I don't have current stats for him - sorry! We are looking for a 2nd seat to use forward facing in my husbands truck. It is a very narrow space (front to back) so the seat will have to allow...

    Help finding a seat ...

    My ds is 2.5 and is currently riding ffing in a britax marathon in my car. We need a second seat for him for my hubby's truck. The back seat of the truck is a bit weird. The center spot seat isn't very wide (I'll attach a picture of a similar seat). We need a car seat that will work...

    Need help finding a 2nd seat

    I need a 2nd seat for my 21 month old (He weighs 21 pounds and is still rear facing. I can't remember his height but he is only in the 25% for height so he's pretty small.) His primary seat is a britax marathon (which we LOVE), but I am tired of moving it back and forth from my car to our...

    GN as a highback booster

    I am going to switch my GN from harness mode into a high back booster for my ds. Should I use the top tether or latch when it is in high back booster mode? The headrest in the seat of my car sits too far forward for the carseat to be installed. Is it okay to take the headrest off of the seat...

    Latch and seat belt install

    I know you are not supposed to install a carseat using latch AND the seat belt. Can someone explain why that is please. (I told someone else not to install a carseat using both and she asked me why so I am looking for information that I can pass on to my friend.) THANK YOU!

    ISO Pliko lite seat cover

    This is a bit of a long shot - but I'm looking for someone who is selling a pliko lite stroller seat cover. My sister is giving me her stroller, but it is the pink cover and I have a little boy. Thanks so much!!! * I did write to peg perego to ask if the new pliko mini seat covers would fit...

    marathon 70-g3

    Can the marathon 70-g3 overhang at all when installed rear facing? I have about an inch (probably a bit less) of overhang. I haven't installed it yet, so hopefully it will be a bit less when it gets light so I can install it.

    Britax marathon base

    Is the classic marathon base the same size as the marathon 70-G3 base? I had the classic marathon (it expired) and it fit in my hubby's truck in the back seat. It's the only seat that fit on his very narrow middle back seat area. So Just wondering if the newer marathon 70-G3 base is bigger?

    Teaching others proper carseat stuff?

    I have a friend who just had her first baby. She doesn't drive so I went to pick her up to take her somewhere and I noticed a few things about the carseat. How do you politely tell someone they are doing lots of stuff wrong??? The carseat is an infant carrier - evenflo brand. Obviously there...

    Baby in a marathon

    I have a 4 month old who's main seat is a chicco keyfit. My hubby's truck seat is weird and the only seat I have found that fits 100% on the seat when rearfacing is a marathon. The problem is my little guy doesn't fit well in the seat. Our marathon expires this month :( I need to get a new...

    cosco scenera

    When installing the scenera RFing you don't use the top anchor strap? Do you need to use a pool noodle or rolled up towel to get the right angle of recline? Sorry it's been a while since I installed the scenera rfings so THANK YOU in advance!

    baby hates his seat

    My one month old baby boy hates his chicco keyfit. He CRIES once I buckle him in. When he's being carried in the seat he seems to be okay, but in the car he is miserable. My guess is that his head is a bit too far forward for his liking. He has a long torso so he is on the middle straps...

    My ds is currently riding in a marathon but just moved to the top slots. He has a cosco scenera as a 2nd seat but we need to replace that one because he is just about to outgrow it. (He weighs 36 pounds and is 40 inches tall).

    Nautilus in booster mode

    When I use our GN as a highback booster is it okay to install it using LATCH? If we don't install the seat with LATCH do we just keep it buckled with the seatbelt when not in use. Do you use the top anchor? My dd is currently harnessed and will be turning 6 in May. She has asked to use the...

    Mercury villager?

    I was just curious if anyone knew much about a 2001 mercury villager. How safe is it? Does it have latch for installing carseats? I would need to install an infant seat (chicco keyfit), a graco nautilus (probably in the back) and a marathon. Are those seats good in the villager?
