    Question Infant seat sugfestions for small space

    Hi, I have a friend looking for an infant seat. She has a 2000 Ford extended cab pick up. She has a son in an evenflo chase outboard and wants the baby in the middle. Which seats would take the least amount of room and allow for the handle to be left up? Thanks :)

    Question Favorite convertible?

    What is everyone's favorite convertible seat and why? I've ruled out the nextfit (I don't like how deep it is,) and the radian (had one a few years ago, not a fan of it forward facing and it was hard to tighten.) I've thought about the maxi cosi pria but not sure about the huge head wings. I...

    Question Snugride 30 fabric

    I'm trying to choose between the jaqueline cover and the zoey cover. The jaqueline fabric looks like its fuzzy so it looks like it'll be warm but idk if it'll be sweaty. The zoey looks like its the slick kind of fabric. I've never seen either IRL so I have no idea what they actually feel like...

    We are expecting dd #4 in October. Our other dds are 12, 10 and almost 7. The older 2 are in seat belts and B is in a HB TB. We just bought a 04 Pontiac Montana. It has 3 captains chairs in the middle row and a bench seat in the back. The middle seats in each row are lap belts only. We will prob...

    infant seat?

    Which infant seats do not require the handle to be down? I had picked the new evenflo embrace 35 but I don't like the 1.5 in rule or the handle having to be down or in the rebound position, I don't think dh will remember the rules. I would rather not spend a ton of money on the infant seat...

    baby trend infant seats

    Any opinions on them? I'm looking at their travel systems. Are the seats easy to use and install? What about the weird triangle handle? I'm having a really hard time figuring out what seat and stroller to get. I know I want to be able to put the seat on the stroller so I either need a travel...

    skinniest HB booster seat?

    What is the skinniest booster seat? Right now we have a hb TB and like it fine but we just got a 2004 Pontiac Montana and we are having an issue getting it to fit well. The van has 3 captains chairs in the middle row and they are skinnier than most seats. Her seat won't work in the middle (lap...

    Need help making a decision

    I'm not due until October, but I'm having a really hard time deciding what to do. I need an infant seat and a stroller. This is the last baby we are having. So far our other dd's have hated the car seat as babies, so idk how long I'll actually use the infant seat for before switching to a rf...

    fav seats?

    So, we just found out number 4 will be here in October. Of course I'm already looking at car seats :love: I don't know what we will be driving, right now we have a crew cab pickup, but we will be getting something new before the baby comes since we won't all fit, probably a minivan or suburban...

    gap behind HBTB

    So I just realized that there is a gap between the HBTB and the truck seat. I know the manual says there can't be a gap, but I'm wondering why? I can take a pic in a little bit to give you a better idea. Thanks.

    Flying with a booster

    I'm flying with my 6 yr old in 2 weeks. She's in a HBTB. We won't be checking any luggage, we are flying back the same day so no need for anything extra. Can I just carry both pieces on the plane and put them in the overhead storage?

    Booster question and flying question

    I have 2 questions. First, I'm looking to get a booster for my 6 yr old to start booster training. I really like the First Years Compass booster, but there are so many different ones and I'm not sure what the differences in the seats are. I like the b540 (?) mostly because it has the flower...

    Would you buy a FR85 for a 6 yr old?

    B will be 6 next week. She is 40-42lbs, not sure how tall, but she is almost at the next to top slots on the GN. We don't have any younger kids to pass the seat down to. I have a RNXT and the GN and dislike them both. I really want a FN85 (in Livia :love:) but idk if it's worth the money. How...

    Need help choosing a seat

    B is 6 (in a week and a half) and 41 lbs. Not sure how tall she is, she's on the next to top slot on the GN and only has about 1/4 in before I need to move them up. We have a GN and a RNXT and I hate them both. The RN's harness is horrible and I don't feel like I can ever get it as tight as it...

    Any one in my city with a FN85?

    Is there anyone in Fairbanks, AK who has a FR85? I'm thinking of buying one, but there are no stores here that sell them and I don't want to order one without trying it. I was hoping there was someone who lived here with one who would be willing to let me try the install in my truck. Thanks :)
