I'm familiar with SOME of the abbreviations for car seat names, but not all. Is there a list that I can refer too? If not, can we build one here?

MR- My Ride
NE-Nautilus Elite
CA-
GN-
TF-
TFR-
TFP-
RA-
RN-
TB-
BK-


etc...

BK is either Big Kid (Evenflo booster) or Burger King, depending on the context

Sadly, I popped into this thread getting a little excited. I was thinking - cool a new seat called "Lingo". Must be made by Chicco or Combi.

Kinda of a cute name if you ask me.

There's a link in Lovinwaves's siggy to common forum abbreviations. It should have carseat abbreviations as well as more common internet ones, such as DH, DD, ISO. Put lovinwaves in the search box, find any post by her, and check her signature.

Tara, the Elite version has a slightly plusher cover, adjustable headwings, and a seatbelt lockoff.

By the by, how old is your daughter? She looks so little in that Nautilus - are you familiar with extended rearfacing?

The lingo that really got me when I first came to the board was "EFTA." BRU was having a sale and people kept talking about a great price for the "EFTA." I searched and searched but could never find it referred to by name... Took me WEEKS before I found out it was Evenflo Triumph Advance. Of course it's been replaced by the EFT65... but I still don't understand why it's EFTA/EFT65 instead of ETA, lol...

Probably because ETA already means "edited to add".

There *is* a complete list, it can always be found in lovinwaves (the author, and moderator)'s signature.

She also has included a list of common forum abbreviations, not car seat related.

Edit: Oops, I missed the previous posters who linked this, too.

Huh? 2 Nautilus car seats. Nautilus ends in s so it gets an ES for plural..

I think.....

Just like Cactus ends in "S" and is Cacti when plural.

Some of us call it Nautili.

It looks like we are both right.

Thanks for making me look it up. I figured since it is the Name of something.. It would be plural with ES as opposed to just making it an I.
