Well..do you have a specific carseat question? IF so, you can post it and we'll try to answer. OR, you can just read through threads and learn if you want.
Welcome.

It can be confusing at first. When I first found this site I was --> :dizzy:
But, the more you poke around, the more it will make sense. I promise.
I kind of think of it like the way you would takes notes in school. The main page lists the "headings" (or forums) and then underneath are the "bullet points" (or sub forums).
Stick around, we love new faces!
Looking forward to your questions!

:yeahthat:
be forewarned - hanging around here can get a bit addictive - but you'll be speaking fluent "carseat as a second language" in no time
One of the regulars here has a list of frequently used acronyms that can be very helpful when you're getting familiar with the forum
edited to add: since you're new here, don't worry if you're not sure whether your question belongs in the "general car seat question", "installation question", "carseat chat" or other sub-board - there are some very helpful moderators/admins here who will move questions to the appropriate sub-boards as needed

That would be Lovinwaves... Click Here :thumbsup:
If you post in the wrong place the mods will/should redirect it.
I was lost at first too, but I promise the ladies (and gents) around here are great We bicker like family even! Its quite funny.
If you're wondering what the site is about, we're about child passenger safety. Many of us are Child Passenger Safety Technicians (US) or Child Restraint Systems Technicians (Canada), and what ever they happen to call it in other countries too! Lots of good vibes, and I hope you stick around!

Hello... I'm new here and REALLY dont understand this site AT all... Can some one plz help me? This is the only place it seems to let me post... What do I do next? Thanks!!!
Welcome! Please also check out the sticky posts in each forum for a great deal of information. In addition, our user guidelines can be found in our announcements forum http://www.car-seat.org/announcement.php?f=6 . If you have any questions, please let us know. Thanks!
Thank you all for your warm welcome. I actually dont have any questions right now, as I am VERY car-seat friendly and do everything top notch. The reason I'm really here is because I was told to come here from a few different people. I'm in need of a 2nd cover for my DD's car seat so I can wash the one we are using. Its a {deleted}. Do I have to have a certain amount of posts or something before I can Post or Reply to anything in the FSOT section? And if so, how many? Thanks!

There are requirements, but I don't know what they are off the top of my head. I think there's a Sticky in Swap that lists them. If not, I know it's buried in a post from Admin in the Announcements forum.

Here you go http://www.car-seat.org/announcement.php?f=16
Thank you. I read that earlier and was wondering about that. It says Senior Community Members , Technical Professionals and any member with a paid subscription may submit new threads, So does that mean I would have to pay someone to be able to post there?
And then it also says this, Senior Community Members are Community Members who have been registered for 1 year, have 100 posts and 50 reputation points. So does that mean I have to be a Senior Community Member or Community Member before I can post too? Thanks!

You dont have to be a Senior community member or community member to post in the general areas but you do if you want to post in the swap folder..in addition to the other criteria (number of posts, reputation points, etc) OR get a paid subscription.
OH, so since I dont have enough posts I COULD pay to post in the FSOT part, just not the SWAP part? I thought that whole thing (FSOT) was the SWAP?

You can post new posts in Swap or Swap-o-rama when you pay for a subscription OR get enough posts and reputation points. You can always offer to buy something in someone else's FS thread without subscribing. This is so we all 'know' each other and feel we can trust that the person offering to sell things will be a good, reliable seller. Obviously just being a buyer means you send your money and the seller sends you the item, so that's why it's ok to just respond to another person's for sale thread.
Posting your reputations (itrader, ebay) from other sites is a good way for us to know if newbies are trustworthy, so that even if you subscribe soon after joining, people won't be afraid to buy from you

Generally, you will not be able to create a new thread if you do not have access. This includes the swap forums, the technician forum, the articles/reviews forums and various community forums.
If you have child passenger safety related questions, you may post them in the Car Seats forum and subforums.
As mentioned, the sticky posts in each forum contain a great deal of information.

Thanks, Julie, that's a great idea for anyone new to swap here.
