Car safety?




I am just wondering why car companies claim they are all about car safety, then make your vehicle go 160 mph. No where in America, or Canada, is there a legal speed limit of even 100 mph. The speed limits are there because it is not safe to drive faster than them, so why are we allowed to drive 80 mph over the speed limit? Any thoughts?




I have a very nosy friend that always thinks she know what best for(MY) kids, she tells me that my daughter shouldn’t be in a booster seat because the are not safe. My daughter just turned 3 and meets all the requirements for a highback booster seat. Either way I think my friend should raise her kids how she wants and mind her own business but, is she right that I should keep her in the toddler car seat until she weights to much(50 lbs)




What sheet will fit a Evenflo pack n play?




I bought a Carters padded sheet for my sons Evenflo pack n play but it doesn’t fit well. It makes the pack n play pad fold up a little. I cant seem to find Evenflo sheets. Does anyone know what brand of sheets will fit an Evenflo pack n play?




i currently own a 2 seat convertible and im now 6 months pregnant, i know the laws on babies using the baby car seat and know they are ok up to 3 years in the front, but will she be ok (as long as i purchase the correct seat for her) to continue to travel in the front with me when she is older? as i heard somewhere once they are over 3 they must travel in the back?




I have a 2005 all terrain fisher price 4 wheeler that we paid 9. It has a detachable cart and is battery powered. My son used it for two summers so the tires are a little worn. Some friends said they would buy it but I don’t know how much to charge.

Question about Convertible Car Seats…?




So my daughter is just shy of 4 months, and 17 lbs, and her car seat is only rated for up to 22 lbs. I have been looking at getting a Convertible Car Seat, since she is holding her head up really good now, but I was just wondering when everyone here switched from the infant seat, to a convertible seat.

We have a jeep cherokee. -Cannot, repeat, cannot buy a new car right now. We’re dealing with layoffs and can barely get by as it is. A new booster law is going into effect in one month in our state requiring us to fit 2 boosters and an infant seat in the back of a jeep cherokee, (or a geo prizm). How the heck are we going to do this? We also can’t spend 0 plus dollars for new "radian" car seats. Do the "ride-safer-vests" do a good job? Would they even be legal and who would I ask that? Right now my oldest is using a harness system in the middle -it tethers to the back of the jeep and goes over his shoulders. Any ideas? I’m not comfortable squishing them in there so much that they are not positioned right.

Peg Perego Primo Viggio in Scion TC?




My mom and I are buying a carseat from my brother and his baby mama. They have the Peg Perego on their registry, but I’m skeptical that it won’t fit their teeny tiny two door car (Scion TC – I think that’s the model). I was trying to explain to her and them that I don’t think it will fit and even if by some miracle it does, it’s going to be too heavy to lift the carseat AND the baby over the seat if they want to leave the baby in the car seat. They’re dead set of this carseat.

My mom bought the car seat already so we want so bad for it to fit, but I’m just so worried that it won’t. Anyone have this car seat with a similiar car? They live out of town and this is a our gift to them so we can’t test it for ourselves. Thanks!




Did you have any problems? Do you have any tips? Do you need to use the base? Did you check the stroller?

Just purchased the Britax Chaperone car seat but don’t want to shell out the big bucks for the matching stroller. I would like to purchase a universal frame like the Kolcraft Universal or The Snap n Go but I want to make sure it would be compatible before I buy…. Can anyone tell me from first hand experience which strollers work. Sometimes the websites list compatibility but they aren’t always accurate.
