    Question Maclaren Triumph or other??

    Found a Triumph on CL for $50. I'm needing something smaller than our Chicco Cortina travel system b/c we are surprising our 4.5 yr old with a trip to WDW in Nov. We took it on his Wish trip last yr and it was fine but we'd like something that's easier to fit on transit, etc. Is this a good...

    Question Disney in November..Stroller question...

    We have our stroller from our travel system (Chicco Cortina). DS will be 4 in December. Presently, he is 37" tall and 28#. Have any of you rented from WDW? Are the strollers hard-plastic jogger types? Those seem to be the pix I am pulling up. On our trip (which we are taking mid-Nov or...

    Question Harness straps too high?

    Here's a little better pic: It's close but I don't think parallel. I have an appt to check the install but it isn't til the 20th.

    Question Harness straps too high?

    Ok. Here is the popsicle stick pic: I guess I can uninstall & move them down again. Ugh.

    Question Harness straps too high?

    I know this might not be the best angle, but do they look too high? The next slots down seem to be right at or maybe just a little bit above his shoulders. Should I move them back down & keep a steady eye on them?

    DS sleeping in the Maestro

    First time sleeping FF, too. I have been anxious to see what it would be like since we have a long road trip next month (but he may be in the GN then). He complained that he wanted out a little before I turned around & saw this: Looks uncomfy to me but he didn't wake up til we got home (at...

    Question HELP! Installing a Maestro in a Passat

    I'm thinking I need a locking clip, but I wanted to check here to be sure. I've only done 2 seat belt installs in my life and never with a locking clip. The Passat's seat belts are lap/shoulder and do not "click/lock" as you pull them out. I just discovered this as I'm moving my son's seat to...

    Question Continuous harness on the Maestro??

    Is that the correct terminology? (I'm sorry if I posted in the wrong area) I'm having a hard time getting them adjusted equally. One side seems to pull tighter than the other lately. I used to have the same issue with his MA every now and again, but I'd just loosen them all the way out and...

    DS "christened" his new GN tonight..

    Poor kid. He kept coughing (like one of those "got a tickle in the back of the throat" coughs) on the way home from church tonight. Right as we pulled thru an intersection, he vomited. He hasn't done that (in his car seat) since he was a little guy. Poor thing- he HATES throwing up and I...

    Great customer service- Evenflo

    Just wanted to give kudos to Evenflo. :love: I just received a followup letter in the mail regarding my call to them earlier this week. My issue was minor (harness straps rubbing DS's neck) but the fact that they took such care with my call and then followed up with a letter- that says a lot...

    Pics of ds3 in the FR85 and a question

    Thx!! I actually tried a set of covers from a Nauti I had to return (b/c armrests were loose & the lady emailing with me from Graco said it was dangerous- later was told, on the phone, it was normal). Strap covers & that black strap w/red plastic on the end were accidentally left out of the box...

    Maestro install- 2012 Passat??

    Does this look good for the harness height? It's so hard to tell. I think the next slot down might be a smidge below his shoulders.

    Question Does this look ok?

    Maestro install- 2012 Passat??

    Wanted to do a center install- no latch, but has a top tether so I figured I'd do a seat belt install (DS is still within the weight limits). Found out the headrests don't move much. The center is set lower than the outboard headrests. I didn't try installing b/c the Maestro's "headrest"...

    Question Chest clip and a kid who has had open heart surgery..

    Ok. We got DS a Maestro (on clearance!) and a GN. He has previously ridden in a now-considered-crashed MA (b/c I checked it as luggage). The Maestro is meant for a 2nd seat for DH's car but I've had it in the van since it was available b4 the GN. I loved the MA for its ease of use and DS...

    Armrest wobbly on GN? :-/

    Armrest wobbly on GN? :-/ (and Graco's response) Just unpacked our new GN in Beckett :love: and one of the armrests is looser than the other (both have some play in them). Is that normal? If it's not, can they be tightened or do I need to call Graco? We're about to install in our van but I...

    Question Urgent: Need help with a seat for the in-laws- 2000 Explorer

    It's me again.. So, my MIL is gung-ho about a new seat for DS since I told her y'all's advice about checked car seats being as good as crashed. :D I need a seat for them that is easy to install and buckle. We just bought DS a Maestro and a Nautilus for our cars. I haven't used the GN yet. We...

    Question Maestro Install- thought I had a snug one but..

    So, DS has ridden in the Maestro 4x. It's LATCHED in the middle position of our 2nd row ("8th seat") of our '10 Sienna. On the first ride, it seemed to be ROCK SOLID but when I took him to school yesterday morning, I was having trouble tightening the harness straps. I later figured out I was...

    Question Who gets what seat?

    We have a new Maestro, GN and then the MA (classic) that we've been using since DS was out of his KeyFit. I also picked up a $24 Scenera that we'll probably return tomorrow (bought it b4 I snagged the Maestro on clearance). Trying to decide which seat to give to the in-laws (they will buy it...
