    3 Across in 2004 Pilot

    I’m looking for help with 3 across in a 2004 Pilot for my coworker...she asked me to post. DD1 is 4yo. She is FF in the middle in a Chico Nextfit, but is complaining about her legs hurting. Looking to change this seat if possible. I think a more “upright” harnessed seat may help with the...

    Booster Recommendation

    With Black Friday deals, I am looking for high back booster ideas for DS1. He is 52 inches and 55lbs, 7yo. Currently in a Frontier Clicktight, but one of the ones that got a CheckFit rating so not sure I will use as a booster. It will be in a 2005 Rogue, outboard passenger side. I need...

    We go to Disney next week! We are flying Southwest (nonstop). The seat will not be used at the destination (we are using the buses). Ds2 is almost 3, but tiny. He is ~24.5lbs and ~35 inches. I plan to FF in the plane even though he RF in the car. I have a Scenera Next, Radian R120 and a...

    Britax Parkway?

    I was at Target and they have a bunch of Parkway SGL on clearance for $97. I was with DH so I didnt buy it...but I might tomorrow lol. I haven't had a lot of time to research, but this is a tall booster, right? Does it need headrest support? DS1 is still harnessed, but a booster would be...

    Target Carseat Aisle Redesign

    I was at Target last week and they redid the carseat aisle. Half the seats are on display like 10 feet in the air! It is a lot of the rarer seats, too. (I.e ones I want to look at and try). They have a lot more seats, but man I hate the redesign. I don't know how you can try the seats other...

    Easy to remove covers/machine washable?

    Which convertible seats have covers that you feel are eady to remove? Perusing new seats for DS2 and he has puked a few times in the car (sick, but not car sick) so I kinda want something easy to remove and machine washable for that reason. Any RF (non bucket) seat is fair game ;-). Thanks...

    Kidfit?

    I was at Target today and came across an unopened Kidfit for $49. I bought it on impulse. Whike I am not sold on booster training ds1, my dad has asked for a seat for his car. He has a Mazda suv with leather seats and belt stalks in the seat and even I have a terrible time installing seats...

    Difficulty tightening MyRide

    I installed our old MyRide65 last night for ds2 to try (trying all my old seats, lol) I put him In it this morning and I couldn't get the straps to tighten! He has the insert in and is on the lowest slot, though he might be okay on the second lowest. I even tried pushing the harness adjust...

    Coccoro Infant Insert

    I'm trying ds2 in our coccoro. The infant insert is driving me nuts. It seems like it makes him sit wonky and he really hates it. The manual says 25lbs (at this rate he will be 3 before he hits that weight), but I thought I saw here Combi said a different weight was okay? 15lbs is sticking...

    Do harnesses expire?

    My neighbors are getting rid of a classic marathon. It's the same one we have, just made 2 years earlier (now expired). I'm going to take the cover as a spare, but do the harnesses expire? I don't even know if you can take it off, lol. I'm assuming they do. I figured I'd take what I could...

    Replacing Seats

    Anyone had Ameriprise Insurance and did they replace seats? DH was in a minor accident almost two months ago. He's been too lazy to take his car in. He keeps forgetting to switch the uncrashed seats in and out of his car. He's damn lucky I'm already staying home with a sick ds2 today. Now...

    Keyfit infant insert...teetering at 11lbs

    DS2 is in a Keyfit 30. The infant insert should be removed at 11lbs. He won't have another doc appt until December 9, so I'm stuck doing unofficial weights with me stepping on the scale holding him and not holding him. The past few days he has been 11.6lbs, 11.1lbs, 11.4lbs. Should I remove...

    Help! DS2 hates the car/car seat

    Okay, I'm losing my mind. DS2 haaaaaates the car/car seat. Total opposite of DS1. He was a preemie, but no NICU. He is 8 weeks today and is probably around 8lbs. 19 inches, probably a little longer now. He is in a Keyfit30. I tried removing the shoulder pads, the headrest, put soft dangly...

    Keyfit padding?

    My noob arrived five weeks early, which threw us all for a loop. He is just under 5lbs and in a Keyfit 30. Passed his car seat test fine and went home with me, no NICU. Are the shoulder pads mandatory? They practically swallow him. I didnt see anything in the manual, but then again, I'm...

    Internal FF Debate

    Yesterday at my brothers wedding, I turned DS FF (because I'm pregnant and can't install a RF Radian worth crap). He thought it was silly to face the other way. DS will have to turn FF soon since DS2 will be coming along. However, I feel really guilty. Like now that I turned him (temporarily...

    MyRide body support?

    My friend just got a MyRide65 for her six month old DS. I think he's around 17lbs. Does she have to use the body support or head support? She says it seems like its messing with fit. I read the manual online, but it says to use with bottom two slots? Is there a weight guide? Is that right?

    What's up with the MySize65?

    Are they replacing the MySize70 with it? Have I just never noticed them, lol? I saw a few at BRU last week and still I think 1 or 2 MySize70s. They're the same price. Why'd they lower the harnessed weight?
