I am thinking about purchasing this. Is it really the safest seat out there? And, it goes up to 65 lbs. Will my babies be able to use it up to 3 years of age? I don’t care about after that, we will be done with school and will actually have money then. We just need something really safe to last us through school.
Would you reccommend this?
Ok, I’ve always wondered this:
Why is it that when I’m in a sports car, and I slam on the gas from a stand still I get blasted back into my seat by the forward force, yet when I’m in an airplane, and as it accelerates down the runway, at a much faster acceleration rate and speed, I don’t get blasted back into my seat? I’m guessing it has to do with a pressurized cabin, or is it all in my head?
By plane I mean standard 747 passenger jet plane.
Great answers so far.
my son is turning five and it’s time to switch to a booster seat but I’m so use to the five point harness that the backless booter looks unsafe..could u tell me what brand of car seat u use and is it backless or high back and are you happy with your choice…Thank you..
i still havent received none of his documents such as social # or none of that, where can i call to ask them if he can go without it? and because its an emergency i need it a.s.a.p because the trip is this friday is it possible to take him with me and be okay coming back with out getting in trouble?
My 9 month old and 2 year old are going this year with us on our trip to Disneyworld. We have never taken babies only older kids so this will be new! Can they ride on laps on most rides? Or in the Snugli baby front carrier on the rides? Thanks!
I just wanted to know if they baby/infant car seat should be in the middle of the backseat. Because i drive an esclade 2010 and theres only two seats in the backseat, and three in the third row. Should i put it in the third row, or behind me in the back seat?
My son is 6 months old and we currently have the Graco SnugRide 32. I’m researching good rear-facing car seats for when we have to move up. He’s currently 26 inches tall and 18 1/2 pounds. I’d like to keep him rear-facing for as long as possible, as I’ve found this to be safest for children. I’ve looked at the Britax Click and Safe Convertible car seat but it says it’s only rear-facing up to 35lbs. Is this a standard weight for rear-facing? Right now price isn’t an issue, I’m more concerned for safety and longevity.
Any links you could provide are appreciated.
I am installing my new SnugRide Infant Car Seat by Graco… The owner’s manual shows how to use the Car seat with and without the base… both have areas to thread the car’s seat belt through them…
Maybe I am having a "blonde" moment here… but why would anyone want to use it without the base?
I mean if they give you the base, it seems logical to just strap it in and leave it there since the carrier part can be released and baby taken out without disturbing him.
Does anyone know why there is both options? Is one way better than the other? Does it make any difference? Does anyone own this type of carseat from Graco and what was your experience?
Thanks for alll answers.
I am a young mother only 19 and every place I go where there are other moms I get looked at funny. I know I am young but I provide well for my daughter. I go to the park and the older mothers ask how I can afford what I have. Which is rude. The truth is I am a savvy shopper.
I shop Craig’s list and Goodwill Outlet and got things like this:
Zooper Stroller:
Avent Bottles: 50 9oz
3 Baby Bjorns: for all
Peg Perego Stroller 2006: Freecycle.
Tons of Tiddo dolls: Freecycle.
& tons of Habba toys: Freecycle
2007 Britax Marathon:
They act like there jealous when there is nothing to be jealous of I dont have much money and I just want to give my daughter things that I may have not had. What can I say to them for them to stop giving me these dirty looks and rude comments.
What other reasons would they look at me?
How do you find out what seats are compatible with what stroller?
I’m trying to decide which convertible car seat would be best; my husband and i plan on using it from birth to whenever our daughter grows out of it. I’m just slightly concerned with the comfort of these very up right looking models. the Evenflo: triumph Vs. the Britax: roundabout…
i’m pretty positive the evenflo reclines in the rear facing position to make seating more comfortable for newborns, but does the roundabout recline as well?? like i said, it just looks so upright and uncomfortable… and of course being a new parent i want the best [but also most affordable] option.
If you are in a car going at a constant speed, turning at a constant rate, going round a roundabout or just driving in a circle, how come you can steel feel G forces pushing you outwards?
G force is all based on accelleration, you can feel being pushed back into your seat when setting off from traffic lights, but not when you’re going a constant speed, and if you sharply turn right, you can feel acceleration to the right and g forces push your body to the left, so surely when you’re going a a constant speed at a constant turning rate, you shouldn’t be able to feel them, as you are not accelerating in any direction?
We are planning to travel to San Diego to visit some relatives. We plan to drive over to SD since we live in SF. I just want to know from other moms who have traveled by car. Just want to be safe for my little one. Thanks
I’m a 26 year old mother of a one year old and I find myself thinking about how much things have changed since I was a kid! We never wore seatbelts (much less five point harnesses), no one had a bike helmet, we ate candy cigarettes, our "cell phone" came in a breifcase (and this was the height of technology), and although we had a computer (the comodor 64) no one even dreamed a computer could do what they are capable of now! How have things changed since you were a kid?
When I finally got around to fitting my car seat (which I thought would be easy!!) it turns out it wouldn’t sit properly in the middle seat. I have a HSV Clubsport and the seats are very contoured and leather and the car seat slid around horribly in the middle (even with towels and a slip mat!!). I ended up having to put it on the passenger side where it is a snug fit but is this ok? I always intended to put it in the middle. Thanks 
I just always assumed ppl put the car seat in the middle Pat but now that I have been reading about it I’ve heard a lot of ppl use the passenger side. Was just curiouse what other ppl thought and if they ever had trouble with their seat being too slippery
