    Time to swap out some seats again need some opinions

    ODS is 6yo 47.5lbs and has a 15 inch seated height. He is currently harnessed in a Frontier 85. DD is 4yo and about 38 pounds. She has a 14 inch seated height (13.5 and a smidge rounded up actually). She is FF in a True Fit Premier. I would like to move ODS to a HBB but am unsure which route...

    Broken foam on headrest of TrueFit SI

    We got YDS a True Fit SI about 6mos ago, so it's still very new. DH leaned on the headrest of it while digging for something at a gas station on our trip to my parents' house for Christmas. He snapped the foam in the headrest. YDS is still under 22lbs and short enough to technically be able to...

    Need an inexpensive HBB with good fit.

    I need a HBB for DS for my MIL's van. He currently uses an Evenflo Maestro in that vehicle. It's on the top slots and his shoulders are right even with them. DD has outgrown the Scenera she was using in MIL's van, so I'd like to move her to the Maestro and get a HBB for DS (he's almost 5). I'm...

    Britax FR85 in 2nd row '08 Odyssey

    Is it possible to get an acceptable install on a Frontier 85 using a seatbelt in the captain's chair of an '08 Odyssey? I tried the short and long belt paths and couldn't get it tight enough. DS is 40 lbs (that is Honda's LATCH limit correct?) so I need to do a seatbelt install. With LATCH I can...

    Suggest a convertible for me to go next to FR85 or TFP

    DS2 is only 3mos old right now and in a Graco SS1. He's getting ridiculously huge, and I'm starting to look at convertibles for him. I drive an '08 Odyssey and this is our current set up: 4yo DS1 in a FR85 in the passenger side captain's chair DS2 on the Plus One seat right next to him in the...

    TrueFit Premier and SafeSeat in '08 Odyssey

    Baby number 3 is due in about 5 weeks. We have an '08 Odyssey. Currently the two captains chairs are pushed together and the jump seat removed, leaving a narrow access on passenger side for extra adults to ride in the 3rd row. 4yo DS is in a FR85 in the captains chair behind the driver. 2yo DD...

    Removing handle on seat back of '08 Odyssey?

    DD's RF TFP is on the passenger side in the second row of our '08 Odyssey. In general, it doesn't touch the passenger seat unless DH is riding there (rarely). If we were to remove the handle on the back of the passenger seat, it would give an extra two inches of space (DD's second row seat is...

    Evenflo Maestro vs Evenflo Secure Kid (300 or 400)

    We're looking at seats for traveling and to use as a back-up seat for 3yo DS. He is currently in a FR85. I've looked into a Maestro, but I'm curious how it compares to the Secure Kid. I've been trying to google but must not be wording correctly because I can't find the info I'm looking for. How...

    Flying w/ 3.5yo and 18mo (Delta)

    We will be flying to California this summer. DS currently rides harnessed in a FR85 and DD is in a RF TFP. I've already decided that I'm not bringing her TFP- it's way too big/heavy. I'm either going to use her SafeSeat (she should still fit) or borrow my sister's Scenera and FF her on the...

    FR 85, TFP questions '02 and '05 Escapes and ?? for a T&C minivan?

    Rolling a few questions into one post, so sorry for the book :o .3yo DS is currently RF in a TFP. He's 32lbs and about 36 inches. Since he's due for a growth spurt I'm not expecting he'll last much longer RF in the TFP. I don't really like how it fits FF in my '02 Escape (a total oversight when...

    harnessed booster with highest harness height?

    Asking this for a friend. My friend's DD is 8 and has CP. Had my friend known what she does now, she would have kept her DD in a harnessed seat much longer. She has a special needs booster seat in her main car. It has a neoprene harness that is strictly for positioning and the vehicle seatbelt...

    Fabric options for TFP and year seat was manufactured

    How/Where do you find what year specific fabric options relate to the year a seat was manufactured? I found a pink and brown TFP on sale at diapers.com, but on The First Years website that option is not shown in their fabrics for the TFP. Is this an older seat? Is there a limit to how old a seat...

    Help me make up my mind! New convertible seat for DD

    Decided to finally register here... I've lurked and learned a lot in the past two and half years since DS was born. :) It's close to time to get my 8mo DD a new seat. She's currently in a Graco SafeSeat and not even close to outgrowing it by weight or height. It's just gotten to be a pain (in...
