    Which is safer?

    Thank you for responding as well. I updated in a response to Darren, just so everyone knows the outcome, and to thank you both for responding. I had found similar to your ceiling belt response searching old forum posts, which helped my decision.

    Which is safer?

    Thank you for responding. I checked back in, but hadn’t seen replies before making a decision. I took my car, with the girls in the passenger and middle second row seats (where original belts were previously replaced). I thought these defects were very weird. Someone at the dealership suggested...

    Which is safer?

    It has been a long time since my last visit to the forums. Thank you to moderators and everyone who contributes, as always, for your help. My daughters are 9 (90% height/50% weight) and 7 (8 next month, 98% height/85 or 90% weight). They normally ride in Kiddy Cruiser 3 HBB in both my 2018...

    New seat? 4 1/2 year old

    My younger daughter is 4 1/2 years old, >97% for height and I just weighed her last week, she is 49.2 pounds in night gown and no shoes. She has been riding RF in Graco Extend2Fits in my 2018 Pilot and husbands 2018 CRV. I moved her forward facing when I saw her weight was so close to the...

    Kiddy Cruiser 3

    I have a Kiddy Cruiser 3 for my 5 year old that I love. Not nearly as happy with the couple of Evenflo Spectrums (the seatbelt sometimes gets stuck in the belt guide, they are wobble, and no latch, but they are inexpensive and tall, so good second seats). I'd planned to buy a second Cruiser as...

    New vehicle recommendations

    My husband is starting new vehicle research. We have 5 year old girl booster rider (Evenflo Spectrum in his car, also have Kiddy Cruiser 3 in my Honda Pilot) and 3y 9m Girl RF in Grace E2F. Planned to RF until 5ish (although with the new research, I'm wondering if that's the best decision)...

    2year old complaints? (Update in original post)

    My 2 year 8 month old daughter (38.5-39" tall 34 pounds) is full of complaints about her car seats. Both are installed RF. 1) CT Boulevard hurts her legs (it is definitely tight around her legs where the buckle strap is so short). BTW - any rumor that Britax will be offering a longer...

    Booster for tall 4-5 year old

    I have a plan for my 4y 2m DD1 and 2y 7m DD2 (Both trend 98+% height and 75-85% weight. When DD2 outgrows CT BV by weight RF, in my 2016 Honda Pilot and DH's 2012? Outback, she will take DD1's E2F (RF) in both cars.) DD will booster train in my car weekdays (6 miles each way), and use CT BV FF...

    Extend2Fit real life limits

    I've been looking at the E2F limits, researching next seats, and it seems it may last my (98+% height/75-80% weight) kids rear-facing as long as it will forward facing. Does this sound right?

    Convertible to booster

    I'm looking forward (1-1.5 years) to next step car seat-wise. DD1 is around 44" and 40#, turned 4 last month. RF in E2F in 2016 Honda Pilot and 2013? Subaru Outback. DD2 is 2.5 YO, approximately 38" 35#, RF in CT Boulevards. I'd assumed I would buy Frontiers when DD outgrew her...

    4 YO loosening harness

    My newly 4 YO daughter has been RF in E2F in both my 2016 Pilot and my husband's Subaru Outback (2012?). The last few days, she started loosening her harness while we are riding. Initially, it was as we were pulling in to the parking lot, and only after asking, but I caught her this morning when...

    Best Practice for booster versus extended harness

    I hope this is the correct forum for this question. I asked a question separately to keep my very tall 3 yo RF longer, and that got me thinking down the road. I originally thought I would eventually purchase a Frontier for my girls (because they are both so tall), but then read on various...

    Extend2fit? - 3 year old close to RF weight limit in Clicktight

    I'm back for another round of research and advice. Stats: 98+% height and 75ish% weight, 3y8m old daughter. I have a 2 year old (exactly) daughter that is following same growth pattern so far (last stats high on both height and weight, but starting to slim down and lengthen). This fits both...

    Possible to Rear Face longer???

    Thanks in advance for any help. I've used the blog and forums to research and purchase all car seats and our vehicles. My older daughter is 3 years 3 months, and weighed 38.4 pounds this morning. She was 40.5 inches and 35.4 pounds in May at her 3 year visit, so was hoping her weight would...

    Informedforlife question: outback and mazda Cx-5

    We are in the market for a second car seat-friendly vehicle. We are considering Subaru Outback and Mazda Cx-5. I'm trying to use informedforlife website (recommended on the blog) to narrow down our search, but because we are probably buying a year or more used, it is difficult. Even though the...

    Best placement for Aton and RF Peg convertible in '11 Odyssey

    My 18 month old DD is currently RF in the second row middle, small seat of our '11 Ody in a Peg convertible. It installs nicely there with latch. New baby expected in 4 weeks, will go in Aton with new Aton 2 base. I'm having a c-section, so lifting/reaching will be an issue for first several...

    Older Aton with new base?

    I have an Aton purchased in early 2012. I have another baby on the way in December. Is it compatible with the newer base with load leg? We only had 1 base originally, and would probably purchase a second, particularly is the newer base with the additional safety feature is an option.

    Peg Perego primo viaggio sip 5-70 Fit issues

    After much obsessing, I ordered and received the Peg Perego Convertible. I am having some issues getting a proper fit on my daughter in the seat. I plan to schedule installation check with a CPS next week, but with the new, corrected manual, it sounds very simple with LATCH. My daughter is 6...

    Cybex Aton - what is the "shell"

    My daughter will be 6 months old in 5 days. She is between 18 and 19 pounds and wearing 6-12 months sizes. I will have her height at her visit next week - likely tall for her age. I'm trying to figure out when she will outgrow her Aton. She has about 3 inches from the part of her seat that is...
