Any Requests?

Defrost · Jan 26, 2008

Me and Gypsy have a carseat playdate tomorrow.

Anyone have any picture/install requests?

We'll have six vehicles available:
Kia Sedona
'01 VW Golf
'97 Chevy Astro
'07 Mazda 5
'88 Ford Taurus
Dodge Ram w/rear bench (but you better need it BAD because I'll have to clean all his tools out!)
80's-era Econoline van, front seat only

Can possibly get access to these vehicles, if requested (year is an estimate):
'06 Chrysler Town & Country
'05 Ford F150 w/rear bench
'03 Mercury Grand Marquis
'01 Honda Civic

We'll have the following carseats available:
Radian
Husky w/recline bar
AirBooster
Turbobooster
FPSV Booster
Britax Laptop
86Y harness
Ride Safer Travel Vest
Britax Blvd

Is the husky similar to the Regent? If so I am going to be attempting to put a new regent into my 2006 sedona in the 3rd row.

Defrost · Jan 26, 2008

Yep, the Husky is nearly identical to the Regent. We've had it in that vehicle in that row before, but we can do it again and get pics and I can make notes in case you need them.

It'll have to go outboard, btw - no TA in the center.

You are wonderful! I would love to see the Husky (espcially) and the Radian installed in any second row captain's chair.

Thank you again!!!

:yeahthat:
short belt path w/ recline bar

If you don't get to that's fine of course but that would be my number one request. Thanks for taking request.

I want to see everybody in every seat, in every position, in every car. K?

amyg530 · Jan 26, 2008

what year is the dodge ram? i have a 99. i would like to see a radian in it, but i dont need to. not a huge deal b/c i should have access to one when i move in a month

cdncasper · Jan 26, 2008

I would love to see Airbooster, turbobooster and Radian FF in the Civic if possible. If not than no big deal

I have pic of a radian installed in a 2006 Ram and other car seats as well in my Flickr account.

amyg530 · Jan 26, 2008

thanks, although mine is quite different, i have the annoying doors that open like \ / instead of \ \ and theres not as much room behind the frond seats, and i have a flat bench and no headrests. so i'm not sure how that would affect it but it should work:thumbsup: have you tried a regent on both sides of the MA?

HAHAHA, DH just said this (D and Gs playdate) must be like p0rn for us

:ROTFLMAO: I say "Carseats feed the OCD monster and keep her quiet!"

The Dodge is considerably newer than '99; not sure the exact date but not more than 3 years old. I've had the Radian RF in it already, behind the driver's seat - did you want me to try it FF?

As long as my sister's home tomorrow afternoon we should be able to do the AB/TB/RF RN.

*makes list, checks twice*

mcomommy · Jan 27, 2008

Can you try the Husky in the back of the Mazda 5 with the recline bar. I have heard some people can do it but other can't. I really need that seat to fit back there though. TIA

azgirl71 · Jan 27, 2008

I would like to see a Husky in a Honda Civic if you are able to gain access to the car.

Defrost · Jan 27, 2008

Any last-minute requests?

Gypsy will be here in about an hour - Amy, I'm probably going to skip the Dodge since the one we have is the huge one with normal seats, not like the one you described, so I don't think it would help you.

Everything else looks good - my sister said we could play with her Civic, too.

I'm so excited! I'm such a geek!!

azgirl71 · Jan 27, 2008

I did post my Flicker folder a few posts up for her to see on my 06 Ram

It will be interesting to see what happens in the Civic.

You all have fun!!!

LOL, yeah, but make it 'the most protected child in the least protected spot'... just to add an element of challenge

4 kids, 2 adults, Honda Civic: "Sorry honey, you'll have to ride in the trunk..."

I'll get you some pictures of a Regent in a Civic too. My Civic is a new body-style, though, so maybe that isn't all that challenging?

Any Requests?
