    Britax Marathon Latch in 2014 Grand Caravan?

    I'm installing a regular (not ClickTight) Marathon rear facing in my 2014 Grand Caravan. The latch buckles end up underneath the seat, so the frame of the seat is resting on the red part of the latch buckle. I've tried everything I can think of, but due to the placement of the latch hooks, in...

    Graco TurboBooster for Broad-Shouldered Kids

    I have 2 boys (8yo & 5yo) that are currently riding in Graco Nautilus' used as high back boosters. We tried to put them in a Graco TurboBooster last year and their shoulders were too wide to fit properly? It was so odd and they were so uncomfortable that we just returned the seats and went...

    2014 Grand Caravan- Reviews?

    We've driven a 2007 Kia Sedona to the end of its useful life and we are looking at a new Dodge Grand Caravan. We have driven them several times as rentals on vacations, but have never owned one. Does anyone have any opinions, reviews, information for me? We have 2 kids in HBB & 1 teen who rides...

    Sit n Stand?

    Thinking about the Sit n Stand for my 2 yo & 5 yo. We have a BJCMD but it is really big to carry on and off buses at Disney, and for me to carry around every day. (yes my 5 yo still rides in a stroller) Thoughts? Will it be easier for me to use? We are leaving in 24 hours... Nothing like...

    Built-In Car Seats after wreck?

    My father-in-law hit a deer last night and severely damaged his van, but not enough to total it. He drives an '03 or '04 Chrysler Voyager. My son used the built in car seats occasionally. How are those impacted in a crash? They were not occupied at the time and were folded into the seat, but...

    Should I re-harness?

    My 5 yo DS is riding FF in a Graco Nautilus used as a HBB. He is roughly 47" tall and 55 lbs. He fits in it perfectly and does very well sitting still. I am more than comfortable with this set-up normally. However... we are going on a long trip (IN-FL-SC-IN) and I wonder if he would be better...

    Should I get a Snugride?

    My son is 5 months old, 20 lbs :eek:, and roughly 26 inches. I also have a 3 year old who is with us all day. We are very active and spend most of the day "out and about". We currently have a Keyfit for my 5 month old, which only goes to 22 lbs. By now, I'm guessing he is over 20 lbs with...

    Chicco Trevi Twin vs. Maclaren Twin Triumph?

    Anyone have/had one or both? I can't decide between the two, and it's starting to make me crazy!! LOL :eek: Any thoughts on the weight limits on either? My son is 35lbs, but fits better in the Trevi (40lb limit) than the Maclaren (limit 55lbs). I don't want to buy it though if I'm just...

    Chicco Keyfit Cover Removable?

    I hope this isn't as stupid of a question as I think it is, but I can't find the manual and can't find the answer online! I have the Chicco Keyfit (it is about 2 1/2 years old) carseat and can't figure out if the cover is removable? I keep seeing that the infant insert is removable, but this...

    Kia Sedona

    I think I've seen some of you here recommending the Kia Sedona. We are looking at an '07 and I'm mainly concerned with the reliability. I know they have a great warranty, but we would have to drive an hour to get to Kia to get it fixed. So, have you had a lot of issues with things going wrong...

    05 Nissan Quest?

    We are currently looking at an almost new 05 Quest. I have no experience with Nissans or the Quests and I'm wondering if there's anything I should be looking out for? I like the latch positions but I'm wondering if there is more than one tether in the back seat? Thanks so much for any hints...

    Installing Evenflo Triumph Advance- Gap?

    Hi all. I'm trying to install an ETA forward facing, and there is a gap between the back of the carseat and the actual seat. The gap is about 1/2"-1". If I take the headrest off, it does help some, narrows the gap to about 1/4", but then the top of the carseat isn't supported. What do I...

    Clarification on Locking Seatbelt

    I feel like every question I ask here is so stupid, so here's another one to add to the mix! :) I've never installed with a seatbelt (always used latch) so when installing a Triumph in my husband's car the other day, I wasn't sure how the seatbelt is supposed to be. What does a locking...

    Safer options than Scenera?

    I will be starting a new job, and the kids will be riding with my husband frequently. He drives a '00 Malibu, and my son, 12 months, 28 lbs, is currently riding in a Scenera in Dh's car. Is there a safer, offering more head protection option? Or maybe I'm wrongly assuming that higher prices...

    How much to ask for a Keyfit?

    I have an almost-new Chicco Keyfit infant seat that I would like to sell. It has been used, but it has never been in an accident of any kind. It is in excellent used condition. Is there some kind of formula to follow for how to price it? Thanks! :)

    Hugs on Marathon- problems and question

    Are the Hugs strap covers on a Marathon really necessary? I'm guessing they are or else they wouldn't be included, but does anyone know WHY? And has anyone had trouble with them. My son has been SCREAMING in the car lately, and finally after looking into it, the Hugs are so tight on his chest...

    Graco Safeseat 2?

    Opinions, comments, suggestions? I would love to hear what you all think of it! I know the Safeseat 1 gets good comments, but I don't recall hearing (reading) anything about the Safeseat 2. :)

    Any new Regent covers?

    Does anyone know? Will there be any new Regent covers coming soon that aren't girly? I won't be needing a Regent until later this fall (probably) but I don't really love the patterns they come in. (very shallow, I know) I'd like to buy one soon to have it ready, but I will wait if there's any...

    What covers fit a Marathon?

    Are the only covers that fit a Marathon the ones actually made for a Marathon? Would a Decathalon cover fit? Thanks in advance!

    Regents on sale?

    Does anyone know of any good Regent deals currently? Also, do big stores like Target, BRU, etc. sell them in the store or is online usually the best option? Thanks in advance! :)
