Okay so I have a 5 year old and I have a almost 2 year old.

What I want to know is how big or/and old do they have to be before using the booster seat in cars?

I know the law now is something to the effect of until they are 8 years old or something like that.

My daughter is in a booster seat now and I think I put her in it at 3 years old but I can’t remember for sure, and anyways I want to put my son in a booster seat soon because I hate his car seat!

I get 0 percent for 3 years or 1.9 for 5 years for Tundra. Ford’s sales over 25 years as an industry leader are not relevant to me regarding my decision for 2010. And while I don’t necessarily doubt Ford makes a better truck (and I have to admit, I even like the way the F150 looks compared to other trucks), how much better is it? If it "edges" the competition by a mile or so per gallon in fuel economy, or it offers some "convenience" feature like the flat back seat floor, is that really enough to pay more with a traditional 5 or 6 percent interest rate? Anyone have an opinion about the Tundras vs. the Ford F150? Oh, and the only rating that Tundra edges out F150 on most of these car rating sites is the "dependability". How can F150 get edged out in such an all-important category if it’s not as dependable according to experts who rate F150 as a better overall truck?

My son will turn 2 in September and due to health issues we won’t be able to have children for at least another 3 years…probably longer….my husband seems to think we should hold on to his crib and changing table forever, but I think we should be trying to find someone to take these things or buy these things once he’s in a toddler bed….curious to see what others did or are planning on doing…
Honestly my real thing with the crib is that they are constantly changing the standards as to what we need to meet so who is to say that in 5 years when we finally have another baby that we’ll even be able to use this crib safely when right now it could be helping someone else (well not right now, but in the near future)

I have an eight month old and everyday I walk with her but the stroller I have makes the ride really bumpy as the trails are semi-paved, but in spots there are potholes and loose gravel. I want to be able to jog lightly/moderately, but I won’t be using it for any marathon training or anything. I’d like my husband to be able to use it also, and he is more of a runner. I don’t want to spend more than 0 if possible, and we’d like to be able to use this stroller for our next child in 2 to 3 years. I’ve been looking around for one, but it is kind of overwhelming with all the different kinds, but I live in Texas, so I know I want a sunshade that can be moved to cover her entirely (without having to buy anything separate) and I want a snack tray on it b/c she really likes to slap her hands on it.

okay 3 years ago my dad bought a car for my sister. everything was fine till 2 years ago when my sister crash. (the reason they crash is because her ex boyfriend hit her and then pulled her hair all the way down the the seat) imagine driving around 60-70 MPH she lost control and crash the car flip a couple of times, she was pregnant fortunately the baby came out just perfect thanks to god. the guy was drunk. he did not had the seat belt on so he flew out the car through the window he he turned out fine. the police arrested him because he said he was the one driving and he was drunk. but my sister was so he was taking the fault for the accident. later my sister talk and said she was driving.
so they let him out but the police never knew that he hit her when driving. because my sister loved him so she didn’t said nothing either. the insurance gave 10k to the guy for the hospital and stuff. my sister since she was pregnant the baby covered her. but they still had to pay the car there were like 6k left by "k" i mean thousand. but the car was still under my dad’s name. they got separate. so there was a deal between my dad and him. by word. since it was hes fault he was gonna keep paying for the car. he pay a couple of months but then he stop paying it. but my did didn’t know. so now a letter came home saying my dad is in collection. my sister and her ex. are both illegal immigrants… what happens is that my dad doesn’t like the idea of being i collection. what could happen if my dad talks and say’s the truth? that the ex. hit her wile she was driving and was drunk and that with the 10 thousand dollars he bought a new truck for him self and didn’t used it for the hospital. and hes living the life to the fullest and my dad in a hole. for the collection.??? if my dad talks could they do anything at all ? and have Police ICE involved? even though they have nothing to do in this? or what could happen?

I have two daughters and after two child the cloth lining on the infant carrier car seat is a bit…well…GROSS! It has some stains, it’s not horrible or totally unusable but I was wondering if anyone knows if you can buy just the lining that covers the seat instead of purchasing a whole new infant carrier car car seat?
They do still make them, you can buy the new ones at Wal-Mart. It has only been 3 years since we initally purchased it.
Thanks Mama, you are right a new car seat is like , those things are like !
Doing some searching I came across this, very helpful!!

Someone is giving me a Infant (Graco) Car seat that does not snap into a base she said you buckle it in… Have you ever heard of this ? She said it goes into a stroller which she is giving me as well, but I have never heard of this ? Anyone ??
She said it snaps into a stroller so I am SURE it must have a base, maybe she doesnt have it. She said her daughter used it 3 years ago..

i usually wear my seat belt for those of you who seem to be getting testy (and besides the point) when i pulled out of the dentist after getting some fillings i was in pain, there was a cop at the light behind me, he followed me a block and pulled me over for the seat belt. so cut the petistal bull- no one is perfect.

This morning myself and my children were in a pretty bad wreck where the guy hit us coming off the interstate at full speed. We are all shaken up, but physically just sore. My kids ages 4 years & 10 months are all in one piece thanks to their Britax seats, thank goodness.

My van is a goner and I know I have to replace my kids’ seats as well. Will this guys insurance cover my kids Britax seats? I know by law they have to pay for other seats, but will they cover over 0.00 for Britax? I want my kids to be in the same seats. My infant daughter was in a roundabout and my 4 year old son was in a brand new (purchased last month) Marathon. I have receipts for neither, because the roundabout was my sons and was purchased 3 years ago so that recpt. is long gone. The Marathon was purchased NEW sealed in the box from a carseat seller on eBay. I have the payapl invoice for it from last month, but no "real" recpt.

My daughter was in the same car seat from 2 years old until 6. What made it safe the first 3 years, but not safe the last one?
I can see why people responded the way they did, but it’s not because of weight. If that were the case, I could pass it down to someone else for their child in that weight range. It is the fact that second hand stores, etc, will not purchase it because it’s over 3 years old. My daughter’s weight was always in the range for the seat, in fact, at 7, it STILL is. Yet I cannot give the seat to my sister for her 2 year old son. I wondered if anyone knew why that was. (And I have to say that I agree with the answers saying it’s just to get people buying new ones - but I don’t know that for a fact.) Keep up with the answers - I would really love to know this one! THANKS!

It was my daughters and it was never in any wrecks and still in great condition. My new baby will be born in Feb 2010, so the car seat will be 3 years old by then. It’s been stored in a hall closet since last year. Is it still safe to use or do I have to puchase a newer one?

With our first he went to a toddler bed when he was almost 3 years old. We moved in to a new house and decided -new house, new bed-

Our LO is 18 months old and tonight was VERY close to jumping ship out of his crib. I never had this problem with our first.

I am up for tips and suggestions. He has a 4 step convertible crib right now.

I’m looking for a double stroller … Phil and Ted’s looks great, but I read somewhere that it’s best for kids about 3 years apart and mine will be 18 mos apart. I saw Maclaren, but I don’t know that I like the width (side by side model). Anyone have any experience with any other models?? Graco? Peg Perego?

i got a ticket a little over 2 months ago mostly because i had loud music playing and the cop stopped me mostly for that. he saw that my child was in the back seat, now i know i shouldnt play loud music while my son is in the vehicle but he loves it he has my taste he’s 3 years old and tells me to turn up the volume, but anyways the officer started to yell at me and said i was a bad parent so i told him to stop telling me about parenting and told him that that wasnt his job and we argued for a good minute and a half when he just got fed up and wrote me a ticket for not having my child seated the proper way just because he saw my son wiggling and moving back there, well anyways i knew he was gonna give me a ticket even if i had not argued with him thats why i did it. the court ordered me to take a class on child seat safety so my question is for anyone who has taken this class, how long is it and whats the average price. just courious thanks.
