- by duncanHello- For any of you that have had the Britax Marathon carseat, when did your child grow out of it? We have a 3 1/2 year old that weighs 35 pounds and we are struggling to get her belted in with her winter coat on. The belt is as long as it'll go and I […]

- by mariahmnIm just wondering how to know when Im supposed to get a different carseat for my really tall 2yo daughter. The one she's in now is one of those that the backrest comes out, then the whole back somehow comes off to make a booster, like stages. At this point I just want a whole […]

- by christiecuWe have a Chevrolet Impala and a third child on the way. I want to get a minivan or something with a third row of seats that will comfortably and safely fit 3 carseats. (We have a 3 year old, a one year old, and a newborn in April.) My husband wants to keep the […]
- by janleidHello, I'm looking for a carseat/stroller combination that will accomodate an infant only carseat. Does the stroller fit the car seat, and then later the child in a regular seat. I've been looking at the safety first acella sport stroller. 2 posts – 1 participant Read full topic
- by Mama_GThis winter, my almost 3 yr old daughter has been fussing about getting into her car seat because her coat or pants would roll up or wrinkle behind or under her and it's impossible to get it nice and flat and comfortable for her. We have patiently stood in the cold to adjust it but […]
- by tparm0We are in the market for a booster seat for our 4 year old. He is roughly 42 inches tall and 40 lbs. There are so many seats to choose from – with backs, without backs, with seat anchors, etc. We tend to travel alot in the car and he frequently sleeps in his current […]
- by twogirlsmomI have a two year old now in a forward facing seat in the middle. Next year, we will have baby #2 and the infant seat will have to go in the middle (the only way I can fit a rear facing seat in my Jetta), so I can't decide which side is best to […]
- by bjss05It is about time to move my almost 5 year old to a booster seat. I am very nervous about it, but she is about one inch from exceeding the shoulder height on her britax marathon. I was looking at the Graco turbobooster, the britax booster or the sunshine kids monterey booster. Any thoughts? We […]
- by Audrey_M1my three year old is 30 pounds and in a high back car seat (i think thats what its called). I'd like to move her to a booster. What kind should I get and is she the right age/size yet? My 9 month old is 20 pounds and I would like to put him in […]
- by elisesteffeMy husband and I share a car and once in awhile I have to get myself and baby home from downtown to Lakeview without access to our car. He is now one and we've moved to Britax car seat which does not seem that portable. When he was an infant I would strap his infant […]
- by anissa_wheelerSo this is a really tough one. I have a sister-in-law that doesn't always put her toddler in a car seat. most of the time she does, but I just found out that there are times she doesn't. Apparently it's been this way since she was just a newborn. I'm sick about it. My husband […]
- by workinmomHas anyone had experience with Britax carseats over a number of years? I have had a Britax Boulevard CS for about 10 months. My sister has had one for about 3 years. We put them next to each other weekend and the difference was amazing. The base of ours (installed by the fire department) hangs […]
- by pattisue4uHi moms! As winter turns its brutal cold self upon us, I have already dug out those bulky winter jackets for myself and my 2yr old son. He is currently in a forward facing 5pt car seat but with his winter jacket I can barely get it to close at the bottom(I have to put […]

- by Jaycee_LWe were in a car accident yesterday on our way home from thanksgiving away. Everyone is fine. No injuries thank goodness. Thats more than I can say for the 400 pound buck we hit. Anyway as soon as we finally got home safe I went to the stores to buy my kids new car seats. […]
- by mrgannonMy son is 3, and weighs 45 lbs. Because we just downsized vehicles, it left us with less space in the back seat, and I am wondering if he is ready for a booster seat instead of the full sized car seat. If not, no biggie, just a thought. 20 posts – 1 participant Read […]
- by Jennifer_K3We are about to buy a new carseat as our baby will be taking over the britax marathon we have for our daughter. We are considering the Radian 65 but I have heard that it is hard to install for children under 40 pounds – does anyone have a radian who can tell me their […]
