    What SUV should I look at?

    I currently have a 2006 Jeep Commander. I love it but DH thinks that the transmission might be bad in it. It's going to the dealership this week but we've sent it to them once before and they sent it back to me saying that there's nothing wrong with it and they can't replicate the problem...

    Next seat for 20 pound 5 month old

    I'm trying to help my brother & SIL decide on my nephews next seat. He's currently in a Keyfit30 but is getting heavy for SIL to carry in the seat so they want to move him as soon as the weather straightens up (which could be anywhere from 2 weeks to 6 weeks from now with the weather we're...

    Trick to Maestro harness?

    I bought a Maestro for Titan today because the Frontier is overkill for him. It's so deep from front to back that it really cuts into his leg room in the second row of my Jeep Commander. I'm not loving the harness on the Maestro so far as it seems to tighten more on one side than the other...

    Does the Nauti have to be 100% on the seat?

    I think I remember reading this on here somewhere but since we didn't have one, I didn't pay that much attention. I'm trying to decide what to get Titan because DH is tired of how high he has to lift him to get him into the Marathons in both vehicles (Silverado Crew & Commander). I'm...

    RF Scenera in 2003 Tahoe

    I'm trying to help my sister install a RF Scenera in a captain's chair of her 2003 Tahoe. I cannot for the life of me get a tight install using LATCH and when I use the seatbelt the seat tips to the buckle side. I've installed it 3 times now and it continues to tip to the middle. Any...

    What seat should I recommend?

    My mom is a preschool teacher and transports a preschool student (B) to his daycare (my sister) after school. She currently has a Graco Nautilus that B rides in. The problem that she's having is that between the Tahoe sitting up so high and the high arm rests on the Nauti, B can't get into the...

    Question Is my Frontier broken?

    I installed my Frontier a few weeks ago in the second row passenger position of my 2006 Jeep Commander. I've never had an issue with it since I bought it in July 2009. This week I've noticed that it was hard to tighten all the way. It tightened enough for the child that was riding in it but I...

    What convertible would you put Titan in?

    Titan is 21 months, 25 pounds, 12 inch torso We currently have 2 Marathons, 1 Radian65, and a Scenera. We love the Marathons and they are his primary seat in both vehicles. However, he is pretty tall and most of his height is in his legs so he looks so crowded in them. The Radian & I don't...

    RF Radian in 2006 Jeep Commander

    I'm struggling with getting Titan's RF Radian65 installed in my Commander. I want him on the passenger side because if he's in the middle he kicks Parker in the face. Using an app on my phone, I get 35 degrees with it braced with the passenger seat (I can't find anywhere in my manual...

    Keeping vehicle seats clean

    Is there a safe way to keep the vehicle seat clean from rear facing shoes? Last winter I carried Titan to and from the car so it wasn't a big deal. This year he's a big boy and doesn't like to be carried. He's leaving footprints on the seat back and driving DH nuts. I know that we can take...

    RF Marathon in 3rd row of Traverse

    We're leaving on vacation with my family in about a week and riding with my brother & SIL in their Traverse. Has anyone tried to put a RF Marathon in the 3rd row of a Traverse? I know I can't get it to fit in the 3rd row of my mom's Tahoe but am hoping to put Titan in the 3rd row with me and...

    RF Radian Install in a 2006 Impala

    I installed the Radian in my car today. Center seat install with LATCH in a 2006 Chevrolet Impala. How's the angle look? I've taken it out once and attempted to get it more upright and did manage to get it up a little bit but not much. Titan is 16 months old, 31 inches, and 24 pounds...

    3 Across Help

    I drive a 2006 Chevrolet Impala with 3 sets of LATCH and 3 top tethers. I currently have an almost 5 y/o, 63 pounds in a HBTB and a 15 month old RF in a Classic Marathon. Right now I have the HBTB behind the drivers seat and the Marathon RF in the center. Occasionally I have to take my...

    Not ideal but need suggestions...

    Parker will be 4 at the end of September and is in Britax Frontiers in our 2 vehicles and in a GN in my mom's Tahoe. We stopped out at the doctor's office to talk to MIL last night (she's a nurse) and Parker was playing on the scale so she turned it on so that he could see how much he...

    Marathon Angle look okay for infant

    Titan is almost 4 months old...I've never used our Marathons RF'ing since Parker was 18 months old when we got them and he weighed 34 pounds at his first birthday. My 2006 Impala Is this okay to tether too? I think that it's the "leg" of the passenger seat DH's 2004 Silverado Crew

    Installing Frontier with Seat Belt

    I just realized that DS1 outweighs the LATCH limits in our vehicles so I unhooked his Frontier to put it in with the seat belt but I can't get a tight installation at all. The belt is not long enough to do the long belt path (are there vehicles that have long enough belts to get that far?) and...

    Frontier & Marathon Side by Side

    Has anyone successfully gotten a Frontier side by side with a RF Marathon? I don't think that I'll have an issue in our 2004 Chevy Silverado Crew Cab but don't know if I can do it in my 2006 Chevy Impala. I'd like to put the MA in the center & the Frontier on the passenger side.

    LATCH weight limit

    We have a 2006 Chevy Impala & a 2004 Chevy Silverado Crew Cab. DS1 is in Frontiers installed with LATCH as I didn't know that there was a weight limit on the LATCH installation. Where do I look for this limit? Also, he's in a GN in my mom's 2007 Chevy Tahoe. Does this have the same limit as...
