We need a "Missed Connections" thread, lol

I saw 2! cool things the past couple days. First, leaving my work, there was a sedan with 2 Recaro convertibles (not ProSports I don't think, maybe Signos?). One RF, and FF ( and I NEVER see RF convertibles).

THEN, in my own neighborhood, and older model Sentra? With an actual ProSport in it! No clue where all these Recaro seats are coming from, lol

hedgefun · Apr 29, 2012

I've been seeing more and more RF convertibles lately... kind of exciting!

emandbri · Apr 29, 2012

I've also noticed more and more rear-facing convertibles! Word is spreading!

I saw a mom put her daughter who appeared to be about 18 months and over 20 pounds RF in an Apt and that made me happy. I saw a lot of FF seats with the tether attached in the grocery store parking lot yesterday too

At DD's school, I've seen a ProSport (parents leave seats in the lobby for whoever is picking the kid up) and an Orbit infant seat. They have a rule that all parents must use a car seat when picking up otherwise they won't release the kid so I keep trying to be nosy, but I don't think I've seen any RF past 1ish. There are quite a few around town, though... my best friend (taking her CPST class in August) and I keep talking to girls we went to school with, so there are a bunch of 1-2 y/os that RF here

And I've run into so many random people (when picking up CL items, etc) that see DD's Radian and say, "I have that seat!"

I babysit a little one who is turning 2 next month. He's RF in both of their vehicles.

I'm not sure what their other seat is (mom has tinted windows) but dad has a MyRide in his Accord.

My son had a preschool classmate who rode in a harnessed Nautilus. That was nice to see! He was super tall too and 5 years old!

I haven't seen any super exciting seats though.

Haha! I'm glad I'm not the only one peeking into people's cars in WNY.

I can't help it! I have to say that I have been seeing some improvement in car seat usage around here.

crazycarseatjess · Apr 29, 2012

I always weave through the cars in the parking lot and look through to see the car seats

not in a creepy way, just look into the car from where I'm standing haha. I've seen a lot more RFing seats and Ffing seats with tethers lately

crazycarseatjess · Apr 29, 2012

Thankfully, the people I nanny care very much about car seat safety!! They have their 2 year old RFing in a Recaro proride and their 4 1/2 year old (5 in November) is in a sk radian idk what kind though. I don't think it's an XTSL though.

That's what I do too.

I just glance while I'm walking down the sidewalk or in a parking lot.

Haha! I'm going to my niece's first communion today and the kids are all around 7-8ish years old. I doubt that a lot of them will be incur seats but it's worth a shot?! Haha. I know my niece is in a NBB and has a great fit with it so that makes me happy. My brother doesn't know shit about my car seat brain but I'm glad to see his daughter safe without me nagging him

robbertbobbert · Apr 29, 2012

Seriously! I've seen a couple of RF convertibles lately, which I hardly EVER see at all.

I seriously thought I saw the T's yesterday and got really excited, but one of the kids was a girl. They had a frontier, two radians and a KF in the van. And yes, I apparently have memorized the T's set up. I was just shocked because I had never seen a radian in a car in real life, much less two, so I didn't understand how it COULDN'T be somebody from here.

Kac · Apr 29, 2012

I saw a Radian and RF MA70, a RF ProRide, a ProSport, and a Cowmoo Parkway recently.

hrice · Apr 29, 2012

I ran into a lady with a rear facing THREE year old a few weeks ago. I approached her because her install was horrid. She had 2 RF seats in the back next to each other and the outboard one was almost completely sideways. I talked to her about it and gave her my card. To my surprise she called me the next day to meet up! I was über excited and it felt so good when she drove away with her kiddos safe!

Phineasmama · Apr 29, 2012

I saw a toddler RFing in a Spring RXT the other day! Kid was at least 2-3. I always wonder if it's someone on here when I see RF toddlers

lovemybabies924 · Apr 29, 2012

I did a check a couple days ago for a 1.5 year old rf! That's amazing news for over in my area

You were loading your baby in his/her cow moo chaperone into your late model Sienna when I spotted the rear facing cowmoo BV and a cowmoo Frontier in the other Captians chair. I was the 28 year old female, in jeans and a pink shirt awkwardly staring into your vehicle. You didn't know at the time but I'm a car seat nerd, too. If you want to feel the spark I felt, meet me at the cafe by your pediatrician, this Saturday, at 10, with your carseats. You'll find me sitting next to an RA55. Can't wait.

Haha. Funny thing is, I have a pedi appointment for my son this Saturday at 10.. Oddly creepy.. And they have a cafe across the street...but I only have one son, no sienna, and no chaperone, BV or frontier in the minivan that I do have.. Sadness. Haha.
