    Radian without top tether

    Just interested in people's thoughts on this issue. I have twin boys who are nearly 4 (but already bigger than an average 4yo - definitely tick all the boxes for fitting into boosters). We are about to buy a new car, and will need to use one of our Radians in the 3rd row, which doesn't have...

    R/f weight limit of 2006/2007 Radian 80?

    I can't find the instruction manual in a hurry, so thought someone might know off the top of their head what the r/f weight limit is on this seat. (Or a link to an online instruction manual would also be handy!) Thanks!

    Car seat laws for short-term visitors from overseas?

    Just wondering what the law is in this situation. Would an overseas visitor be better off bringing their own car seats to install in a taxi/rental car or taking pot luck with seats installed by the rental car company? What are the legalities? What would YOU do? Does the law vary from state...

    LATCH in third row of 2008 and later Chrysler T&C

    Could anyone tell me whether or not the newer shape T&C has anchor points in the rear 3-seat row? I can't find info in any of the technical specs on the Chrysler website except that the vehicle is LATCH-equipped! If it has the lower anchor points, does this automatically mean it has an anchor...

    Question Interested in feedback on a study I just read

    Doyle & Levitt car seat vs seatbelt study As a bit of background, Australian states are in the process of adopting new laws regarding child restraints. In particular, they will require compulsory use of booster seats for children aged 4 up to 7 years old. There has been uproar at the...

    Which seats next?

    Hi all. It's been a while since I visited this site, as I am no longer living in the USA. However, the time has come when I need to think about upgrading my car seats, and since DH is hoping for a family trip to HI next year, I was thinking of picking up some seats while we're there. My...

    Talk to me about shoulder strap heights

    I have just discovered that the rules on shoulder height are the opposite in Australia: at or above for r/f and up to 1" below for f/f. Now, if I wanted to be funny, I would just blame it on us, you know, being upside down here in the southern hemisphere... Seriously, why??? I totally get why...

    Travelling to states with different booster seat laws

    Just wondering what the situation is legally when you travel to a state that has different (stricter) laws regarding child restraint. I have a friend who is travelling to the US and purchasing boosters for 2 of her children when she arrives, but she said the laws in TN (they'll be there 3 days)...

    New shape Chrysler T&C - top tether anchors?

    Can anyone clarify how many anchors the latest model has? I heard somewhere that it only has them on the captain's chairs, and has none for the 3rd row. Is this correct?

    Question For those who have used the EasyFix base with the Maxi Cosi Cabriofix (Euro version)

    If there's anyone here who has used one, I need some help with the support leg. The manual says it should lock in the open position, but mine doesn't seem to lock. So, how does it lock?

    Renting a car seat with a rental car?

    I have a friend in Australia who is visiting the USA and wants to know what sort and quality of car seat she could expect to be given if she gets one with her car rental. She asked me but I had to confess that, although I lived there for 4 years, I was never without my own car seat (ah the joys...

    Question 2001 Chrysler T&C - fitting 3 seats in the back

    Long shot, but hoping someone has one of these and can help with car seat placement/selection. We have just found out we're expecting not one but 2 babies, which will mean 7 people in a 7-seater. Besides the adults, this will be: 6yo approx 45lb, not sure of height, currently in a Regent 4yo...

    Graco Platinum CarGo?

    I have one of these from when DD1 was younger, and I know it goes up to 40lb harnessed. I am just after an educated opinion as to whether you would consider it a reasonable option to use for my DD2, who is 3yo and 31lb, until she reaches 40lb? It is a 2006 manufacture date, so still a few...

    What are you current top picks?

    I've been out of the USA for nearly a year now, and am out of touch with what is new in car seats. When I left, the Radian and the Regent were popular. But I see there are a few new high-harnessed-weight seats around, and was wondering if anyone could provide some feedback on them. I am...

    Is there anyone who ships car seats internationally?

    I am after another Regent for my DD2 (DD1 is in one that we brought with us to Australia when we moved here last year), but apparently no-one ships them internationally (that I can find through Google, anyway). Has anyone found an online company who will ship them o/s?

    New considerations for Australian CRS standards

    http://www.ntc.gov.au/filemedia/Reports/ARRAmendments07DraftRISMay2007.pdf If anyone (esp techs etc) gets a chance to browse through this lengthy document, I would be very interested to hear your comments on several points made in it. I found especially interesting the fact that in Australia...

    Car seat Q for friend in Europe...

    I know a few of you have some knowledge of the European car seat market and laws, so I thought someone might be able to help my friend better than I can. She has a 2.5yo, 34lb, 38" DS, and is looking to upgrade his seat. He will be the last child in the seat, so no need to worry about passing...

    Infant seat length guidelines

    A friend has her 5mo DD in an Evenflo infant seat (not sure which one) that goes to 20lb/26in. Although her DD is only 14lb, she is 25.75" so theoretically will outgrow the seat heightwise soon. I was of the understanding that the height limits were "flexible" in that you could keep them in...

    Regent Classic in stock at Tinyride.com

    I got an e-mail last night as I had ordered a seat from them and cancelled the order since it wasn't going to come in time for us to take it back home with us. So head over to tinyride.com if you are ISO a Regent Classic!

    Why I love this website....

    I finally found a Regent in stock (Little Folks yahoo store, and I believe as of 8am this morning, they still had them), and installed it in DH's car (it doesn't fit in mine - I bought it so I could take it back to Australia with me in the vague hope they will approve them at some point in the...
