convinced

I have no idea if I am supposed to put this here... but I wanted to let you guys know that you are doing your jobs and you are doing it well!
I just turned my 15 month old girl (22lbs) RF again after being FF for 3 months now.
All the info, articles, videos you have convinced me bigtime. I have to admit, I did fight it for a long time... but in the end, how can you argue when the safety of your child is at risk?

you have all been such a great help with finding car seats for my other kids.

Right before I found this website I realized that all 4 of my girls were not in good carseats. My 1 year old and 3 1/2 y.o were both FF in Cosco Touriva's that had the indentation in the sides of the carseat (that studies have shown causes skull fractures in side impact crashes). Then my 9 and 6 1/2 y.o.'s were not safe because my 9 year old was in a backless booster in the 3rd row of our SUV that has VERY low seat backs (like at her shoulders) and my small 6 year old (37lbs) is in a high back booster (the turbo).
Although I am not putting my 6 year old back in a 5 point -- although I know you all recommend it -- I did purchase her a better booster (IMO).. I got her the Recaro vivo light... it looks so much more sturdy and it looks like it will fit her tiny frame better. If she was any younger I would put her in a 5 point again.. but I do believe that she is mature enough for the booster... Maybe I am making a big mistake.

Either way... you have helped tremendously already... my baby is RF.. and my other kids are getting new carseats.. except for the 9 year old, she is getting the turbo booster.

Thanks so much.

Gald to hear that you got the best advice for your children

Thank you for taking the time to research! Congrats on turning her back around
Feel free to stick around and watch for new information!

Awesome... Feels good to know everyone is as safe as you can make them, huh? :thumbsup:

Wow - sounds like you have made some great changes! It's not always easy (or cheap for that matter) but it certainly is great knowing that your kids are as safe as they can be.

Woo hoo!!

I've played with that Vivo. Man, it's a nice seat. I agree, very solid and sturdy and perfect for a six year old. Piper kept sitting in the Recaro boosters asking me to buy them for her (she was just five at the time). I wouldn't, but secretly I wanted one for myself.
