    Car seat for really squishy seats

    I need a convertible car seat for my one year old. The seats in my van have a hard part towards the back where the back of the seat meets the bottom of the seat but the seat part is rather squishy which makes getting a good angle on a car seat very difficult. Is there a convertible car seat that...

    2008 Ford E350 tether question

    I just bought a Ford E350 that was built as a shuttle style (captains chairs running down the passenger side, then an aisle, then captain's chairs running down the driver's side - three across the back and two in the second row). It currently has three tether locations (driver's side row 2...

    Ford latch and sinking seat question

    I just bought a Ford E350 van with captain's chairs type of things. I am having some trouble with the seatbelts because they aren't locking so we have had to do a locking clip for all of the car seats where there isn't latch and there are only two latch positions. Question 1: my 5.5 year old...

    Custom E350 and tethers?

    I am looking at getting a used E350 15 passenger that has been converted to a shuttle style with high back seats for 12 and seat integrated seatbelts. The seats are really high. I am wondering about tethers. We have four Radians that really do better with that top tether and I am wondering if...

    Toyota Sienna latch limit?

    I am borrowing a 2004 Toyota Sienna from my friend for the next week while mine is in the shop. I have 4 Radians and one HB booster. My one daughter really wanted to ride in the back row, but I could not get a tight install on the passenger side seat (the only one available for her back...

    car recommendation for large family

    I just found out we are expecting baby number 6 which means we will have outgrown our 2007 Toyota Sienna. I am leaning towards an 8 passenger minivan to buy me some more time with greater gas mileage before we need a bigger vehicle that guzzles gas. I have been doing some reading on the 2011...

    Cybex Aton 2 question

    My daughter is just about 22 pounds and according to my measurements, 31 inches. She has 1.5 inches above her head in the Cybex Aton infant car seat. I just read that the rule is 30 inches, but wasn't sure if anyone knew if Cybex went by the 1 inch rule as well? I know I need to get a new car...

    Diono Radian RXT cover question

    I am wondering what the material is like in the plum version of this. I hate the fact that my daughter is outgrowing her infant seat and won't make it to second quarter 2014 when some patterns are coming out that I like for Radian, but oh well. This is the one that I am okay with, but I need...

    5 kiddos and need a next size vehicle rec...

    I currently have a Toyota Sienna 7 seater (2007) and it if full. I have five kiddos (ages 6, 4, 3, 2, 8 months). My 6 year old is in a HBB in the third row passenger side next to the two RF radians for the 3 and 2 year old. The 4 year old is in a Radian on the driver's side and the baby is in...

    Toyota Sienna/Radian question

    I have two rear facing radians in the 3rd row of my 2007 Sienna. They are all installed nice and tight and with the angle adjuster, but one of them will probably touch the seat in front of it when my son is in it. Is that allowed? If not, any suggestions??? TIA

    Radian safe stop use?

    My daughter is FF with a seatbelt install and no tether (wrong car position for a tether). I am not certain if the Safe Stop has to be used or shouldn't be used (she is about 33lbs). Anyone know? I wish I had noticed this before I installed her as part of a three across situation... ;)

    What is the thing that can hold the buckle?

    Does anyone know the name of the device that I think velcros the buckle to the outside of the booster making it easier for the child to buckle themselves? Is it allowed and if so, where can I get one? Thanks!

    Kiddy Cruiserfix Pro install question

    I just got the seat today and it fits my 5.5 year old like a dream (though I am still nervous about not being harnessed - I feel like a bad parent somehow - even though she is definitely mature enough for it, but I digress). However, in order to fit the three across and still have her able to...

    Cybex Aton handle question

    I was reading through the manual for my new Aton and it looks like the handle should be up in position A when it is installed without the base, but with the base, the manual seemed to indicate position B. However, I have read elsewhere that the handle is supposed to always be up. How can I...

    3 across with Kiddy CruiserFix?

    I have a radian, Cybex Aton infant seat and am wondering if I can fit the Kiddy Cruiser in the third space in the third row of my Sienna? Anyone fit three across with the Kiddy Cruiser? Anyone know how wide it is and if it would puzzle well with the infant seat next to it? TIA

    HELP!! Just when I had it figured out...

    I bought the Cybex Aton today to fit between my dd Radian and my other dd nautilus. The base does fit, but the car seat does not because of the nautilus arm rests and cup holder :( So, I was thinking of buying a Radian to fit where the nautilus was - figuring DD could ride in that until she...

    After market products Diono?

    I know that after market products are generally a no-no with carseats, but I noticed that Diono sells a bunch of those types of products. Does that mean they are okay with their seats? A little confused on this one...

    My Ride or Radian

    Anyone know which installs easier in a 2007 Toyota Sienna? I am needing seats in the captain's chairs as well as eventually the center of the third row/driver's side third row. All five positions will have carseats by this time next year - if that makes any difference. I am thinking of...

    Low profile erf convertible recs?

    I am thinking of replacing my son's soon to be outgrown Britax roundabout with a radian, but I am not a huge fan of how it tightens rf. Is there another, skinny low-profile seat out there? I like the Britax bigger seats, but I hate how high up they are. It is too hard for my toddler to climb...

    Which would be the safer choice?

    Currently, due to sibling issues (hitting and whatnot distracting the driver), my DD's are on opposite sides of the third row in my Sienna. DD2 is 3.5 and FF in a Radian on the passenger's side (so there is a tether and latch). DD1 is 5.5 and is on the driver's side, seatbelt install in a...
