My baby girl is currently 16 lbs 8 oz and 27 inches at 9 months old, so she is still well within the height/weight requirements of her infant seat. However, she is starting to fight, cry, and struggle every time I put her in her infant seat (or lay her down in the infant tub or changing table for that matter). A few friends told me that switching to the convertible seat will help because they can sit up (which is what she wants to do). I’m researching car seats, and it seems like the big kahuna on the market right now is the Britax Advocate. Does anyone have one? If so, what do you think? I drive a Toyota Corolla–do you think it would be too big? Is it really heavy to move between cars (my husband is deployed right now so I would have to move it myself if I choose to drive the other car). The price tag is steep, but I’m not basing my decision off of that because I saved money when I was pregnant for a convertible seat some day. I just want the best possible seat. Also, are the side cushion thingys on the Advocate effected by side curtain air bags on your car? Our Scion xB has side curtain air bags

-Used or New, as long as it fits the budget (see below)
-A budget of a price between k and k
-Small
-Four doors
-Side air bags
-Needs to have a high safety rating
-Air conditioning and radio
-Not leather seats

Beyond that I’m not sure of anything else I should want. I don’t expect anyone to research for a car based on these things but if you know of one off-hand that matches these or close to these I’d just like to know about it. Thanks!

So far I have become aware of the Honda Civic 2007 Sedan, the Honda Fit 2008, and the Toyota Corolla 2008. If you have any reasons why I should/should not get these three cars I’d love to hear them.

I am in the market to get a convertible car seat for My 13 months old daughter. She weighs 20 lbs and is 30 inches tall.

I want to keep her rear facing as long as possible and i am debating between Britax boulevard and Evenflo Symphony 65. Which one is better (Ignoring the price factor)?

Also, I have a 2004 Jeep Liberty and 1997 toyota corolla. Any idea whether these car seats will fit in?

I have a 26 mo old (approx 40 lbs and 3ft tall) and a 4 mo old, who is in an infant seat. My 4 mo old is getting too big for his seat and I want to put him in my other son’s car seat (Britax Marithon convertable carseat) and buy my older son a toddler/booster seat. Any suggestions/opinions as to the best ones out there? I definately want one with a 5 point harness, but there are so many to choose from and when I look it up on the internet, there are so many different opinions from different companies. Please let me know which ones you use and how you like them. THX!
Money is always an issue, but when it comes to my babies, I will spend what I need to as long as they are safe. That said, I was looking at the Britax Regent and that seat is huge. We have a Toyota Corolla and I am concerned about it fitting. Is there any seat as good as Britax but not so big?

Keeping in mind the size of the Toyota Corolla and that my one-year-old spends a fair amount of time in the car…… What Would You Choose?

there is just one problem with this. i am 6′2”, so the driver’s seat has to be really roomy.
it has to be really safe. good crash test rating
and it can’t be too old. it has to be a used car.
as a permit holder, i am driving a 2006 toyota corolla and it is so small… i have trouble getting in and out

The car is a toyota corolla 2007 and the seats have stains so I need to cover them up with a seat cover but I don’t know which color would go nicely with tan. I have an ornament for the rearview mirror that has black beads, red clay flowers, and a mini clay cow.
Thanks!
And the car does not have side airbags.

I am having trouble finding a mirror that will stay put in the backseat of my car so I can see my baby in her rear facing car seat.
I bought one but it has a strap that is supposed to keep it up-right, the problem is this strap is supposed to connect to something on the rear deck (under the rear window)and I don’t have anythig for it to connect to.
I have tried velcro hooks, but they don’t stay put because the rear deck is covered with carpet.
The car is a 1991 Toyota Corolla.
If anyone has had this same problem or has a suggestion it would be very much appreciated
the car has no headrests

We are planning a family and I am concerned about an infant seat fitting in my car. I have a 2006 Toyota Corolla LE. Will an infant seat fit safely (level and snug) in the backseat in this car? I really love the idea of the infant seat when they are younger, not the convertible at first.

Is there one seat that is better that another?

I need to replace the driver seat belt on my 1997 corolla. Are seat belts generic parts that fit on most cars, or does each car have its own type?

In other words, do I have to buy some kind of specific corolla seat belt made by Toyota, or can I get one anywhere?

My 2002 Corolla only has seat belt anchors for 2 passengers. I have a 2 year old and twins on the way. How to cary them all without buying a new car? It is against the law to carry one in front.
