    Help with 3 across for Volvo

    Hi there, I need 3 across in my Volvo XC90. I'm thinking of RXT, Blvd click tight, and Maxi cosi rodifix. Would that work? I'm not sure if the RXT would fit next to the click tight. I'd prefer the booster to be LATCH'ed and high back. Kids are 1 yr, 6, and 8yrs. Seats I have: MT and RXT. The...

    Question Multimac 4 across car seat consensus?

    What is the final consensus on this car seat bench? There have been several threads but no real safety concerns listed. Am I the only one that is skeptical? A mom I Nanny for is curious about the legality and safety of this, as am I. For those who don't know what this is, it replaces your...

    Question Britax Frontier adjustable while installed?

    I'm looking for a good combination seat for my car and various sized children. Most of my kids are now too large to RF (sad!!) and will need to be in a FF situation. Does the Frontier allow the headrest to be adjusted while it's installed or is it still on the back? What about the Argos or...

    Question Do you use your RXT in booster mode? (need seat rec)

    I'm considering buying an RXT or older XTSL as a once-size-fits-all car seat for all the different sized/aged kids I Nanny for. Since most of my kiddos are not booster aged (or they are just not in my car), I find myself rarely needing a booster or a seat that can convert. However, I've needed...

    Question Chicco Nextfit uses Euro RF height guideline?

    Came across this blog post from a CPST who attended the ABC kids Expo last week. "While the general US rule is top of the head 1 inch from the top of the shell… the European rule (and what the NextFit uses) is TOP OF THE EARS 1 inch from the top of the shell. Which means a child’s head CAN...

    News Chicco Nextfit Video

    Found this introduction video by Chicco about the new Nextfit coming out. I liked how they showed older toddlers (approaching 2 or just turned) rear facing and all of the children were properly harnessed! (Except the little girl with the teddy bear the harness could be a tad tighter) Some of...

    Custom Radian covers...bad?

    I came across this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Custom-Cover-set-for-Sunshine-Kids-Radian-XT-/160428366737 When I was looking for this: http://carseatblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/radiandots.jpg The first one looks like it fits very well and the harness slots line up perfectly. Which brings...

    Awesome Rear Facing Video from Cybex!

    This is a great resource for parents and car seat fanatics/tech alike. It explains the importance of rear facing (in English!) in very simple terms, without difficult terminology that new parents or car seat newbies wouldn't know. The only thing I can think of that is negative is that they...

    Question Rear leg room measurements

    I've asked this before without a conclusive answer... If the interior specifications of a car state "55 inches" rear leg room, does that mean the measure from the seat back in the second row to the seat back in the front row? Are the front seats all the way back or all the way forward? Any...

    OMG today I was playing with my momentum and I noticed that when I pull up on the harness from the legs, IT RELEASES SLACK!!! I thought at first it was coming from the other side but it's not a continuous strap. Does anyone else have this issue?? I'm going to file a thingy on nhtsa and call...

    Question MA not compatible? 07 jeep

    One of my nanny fams has a 2007 jeep grand Cherokee. R is 3.5, 40lbs and ff in MA. A is 1, 25lbs and ff in RB (yes I know I told mom and she said he is happier that way). The head rests seem to be immovable, am I right? The MA base does not sit right and the back is not even touching the seat...

    Question crash, rental car, plane and car seat logistics

    Ok so, One of my nanny families is going to Hawaii in Feb! They will be renting a mid-sized or full sized sedan. Today the mom got into an accident on her way to get the 3 yr old. Everyone is ok, but mom is frazzled. Only the baby was in the car and she was safely buckled in. :) Now we are...
