Safety 1st Car Seat Selector

BabyKaykes · Oct 2, 2010

How long has this been around?

I just went there via a link from their facebook page. I put in DS's info and got a bunch of convertibles and combos (he fits in them all) and NOT ONE booster recc. I was mildly impressed.

Hmm. I'm unimpressed. For my 2yo, 25 lb, 36 inch child, it recommended only the AOE and Avenue. No Complete Air, no Rumi, no Apex, no onSide, no Vantage or Summit. Not that I would FF my daughter, but they don't even list them as options.

Playing more, if I leave my child's age off, only entering height and weight, all those choices come up.

For my DS(33in, 23lbs, 2yrs) I get an AOE, All-in-one and Avenue.

Without his age I get added(I also get this if I put just his height in): CALX, CA65, CALX65, OnSide Air, Go Hybrid Booster

No age, no height, just weight I get: AOE, CALX, CALX65, Rumi, OnBoard 35, Go Hybrid Booster, Apex 65, All-in-one

I'm not really impressed since the only one with all his states gave me two crappy 3-in-1s and the Avenue.

I don't think they have any bpb's in the selector. Just entered a hypothetical 54" 70# child and the only seat that came up is the Apex.

They must have updated it. The old selector came up with boosters for any kid over 36 inches tall.

I entered my dd's stats (2 yrs 20lbs 34in) and all i get are aoe and avenues.

I tried my 7 year old and got all the combo seats. My 5 year old got a couple more combo seat options. I guess they don't have the new air boost in the selector.

wierd..My 2yr old (just turned 2) when I put his age in, all it gives me is the AOE, avenue, and all in one. He is 36" and 30#s.
When I take out his age it lists alot of different options....Rumi, CA, AOE, GO Hybrid booster

, Vantage

, Summit

, Apex, All in one, And so on!

That upset me. Being they recommend those seats w/o knowing a childs age. That and he is under 40#s..Just my personal opinion. So, If he is 2yrs old he should not have a Rumi or a CA, but if the age is unknown with those measurements, it is ok?? WOW, That is messed up! I can see some ppl putting their LOs in a booster early if they don't have any clue and just go by that!
Lets see what it says for my 6mth old...
It did the same thing...with the age, it listed the same seats it recommended for my 2yr old. But w/o the age, it recommended the CA, Rumi. Glad it did not list the boosters for her..

ETA: For my 47" 5yr old it listed the same seats again...Which I KNOW he does not fit into. His torso is too long. But it did list harnessed seats for him.

It tells me I should spend $80 on a 22 lb bucket for my 18 lb 6 month old

great value there.
The other seats it gives me are the AOE, Avenue, and the All in One. If I leave his age out it adds the On Board Air, Complete Air models, and the Onside Air.

How does that make sense? A 22 lb bucket for an 18 lb child but not the On Board that he might actually get some use out of before it is outgrown.

Weird it gave me the booster as well as the convertibles, apex, go hybrid, vantage. I entered 31lb/37" and all ages.
