    Mazda MPV?

    I tried to change my title on another thread to get this particular vehicle in there but I guess it didn't work, so forgive me for starting another thread. Any opinions on the Mazda MPV? I don't see too much about it when I do a search. I test-drove a 2004 today and liked it. I'm concerned...

    Safe, reliable, used vehicle that seats 6 around $10,000?

    Any recommendations? I'm looking for something that seats 6, with some cargo room left over, reliable and safe, decent gas mileage. I'd really prefer something smaller than a full-size minivan. Will test drive a Honda Odyssey but it seems so big to me. I really liked the sound of the Mazda5...

    Input on my brakes please?

    I feel stupid even writing this ... (bad brakes on a car safety board) ... but it's kind of on topic because it's related to the choice between trying to fix this car and buying a vehicle I feel is safer. (Or doing nothing, which is what dh wants to do!!) My 1999 Mercury Sable wagon has been...

    Anyone have 3 kids and a Mazda5?

    Where do you put the kids, and is it easy to get them in and out? (First time on this forum -- I've posted on the carseat forum before.) I just discovered the Mazda5 and love the concept, but I'm wondering how hard it would be to get 3 kids in it every day. Just from the pictures, it looks...

    My kids in our Radian :)

    Let's see if I can get this to work. Ds, who turns 4 in April: <a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v283/dahlias/radian004.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"></a> <a href="http://photobucket.com"...

    Why does Britax ...

    ... make the MA shell curve backward a little as it goes up? When I tried my kids in it, their heads were back at an angle that struck me as odd. Just now, I was browsing Roundabouts (just for fun :D ) and their shell design looks more comfortable to me, like it would put bigger children in a...

    Just want to say thank you

    Thanks to all of you for helping other parents and kids to be safer. Thanks especially to the regulars who patiently answer the same questions over and over as each new visitor like myself arrives here in a panic. :) You are making a difference in a lot of lives.

    Pros and cons of MA vs. Radian, please help me decide once and for all :)

    OK, now that we know it is possible to install our new Radian outboard as well as center in my car, I need to decide which seat to get for the other kid (since both of their seats needed replacing). It's down to a MA vs. another Radian. (Can't get the Apex because of our seats; don't want the...

    Odd question -- do you tip a tech?

    I found a certified tech in my area on a list online and she's going to meet me in a store parking lot today to check/help with our Radian. I don't know if she does this often or not but she's doing me a favor. What's the protocol for this (aside from a big thank you :) )?

    Is there likely to be another version of the Radian65 before too long?

    Ie., do carseat manufacturers make improvements to established styles? I do like our new Radian, and ds gave it the ultimate seal of approval (he fell asleep in it almost instantly the first time he rode in it, and when he woke up, he said, "That was comfortable!" lol!) But it's got a few...

    Everything Baby an authorized Britax dealer?

    I looked on the Britax web site and can't find them, but they say they are. I'll call tomorrow if nobody knows ...

    Has anyone ordered from Dreamtime Baby?

    They're the only site I can find that still has sales on Britaxes. (Silly me, I should have succumbed to temptation last week.) Anyway, are they OK?

    Plan B -- looks like only 1 Radian will work

    I had planned to get two Radians for almost-4-year-old ds and 5.5-year-old dd. Ordered one to try, it came today, and we can't install it outboard, only center in our Mercury Sable wagon. There's a chance a tech may be able to install it outboard. But now here's what I'm thinking. We plan to...

    Radian shipped! :) More advice needed on backup seats

    I'm so excited, Amazon.com (the only place I was able to find it in stock last week) shipped my Radian yesterday and it should arrive tomorrow! Now, about the rest of the seat situation. If the Radian works in our car, I'll order a second one. Then I'll need two seats for my husband's car, as...

    Techs with LATCH manual, need part numbers please

    Hi! This is what the wonderful posters in another thread said I need (I won't even reword it 'cuz I might mess it up :) ) : the number and locations where top tether anchors can be installed in the '99 Sable wagon, and the retrofit part numbers. Thanks!

    Getting LATCH anchor installed -- what do I need to know?

    Someone on this board mentioned that Mercury/Ford do this free, so I just made an appointment for Thursday. :) Is there anything I should know about this? Like where they should put it, or whether they can/do install more than one, or type of equipment? I have a 1999 Mercury Sable wagon...

    Radian in a Mercury Sable wagon or Ford Taurus wagon? (Or Thunderbird?)

    Has anyone tried this? How is the installation? My Sable is a 1999. We rarely use dh's Thunderbird with the kids, but it would be good to know about that too just in case. It's a 1996. (Someday maybe we can get newer cars, lol!) If nobody has tried these combos, is there any site that...

    Regent, Radian, Marathon or FPSVD?

    I got a ton of wonderful information on my other thread about harness vs. booster, but thought I should start one geared more to any final advice on seat choice. I just got dh to bring his car home so I could take the kids to BRU. The only one of these choices the store had was a Marathon...
