I have to buy my son a new car seat ASAP!!! He is 7 months old. I have a very small car a Kia Spectra. I cant decide between a Britax Decathalon, Brutax Roundabout, Racaro, or a Radian80. Please give me some advice.They are all very good car seats. I need the smaller of the 4, my car is VERY small, and he will be rear facing for along time yet. Which would fit better??
Because my son is almost past the weight limit of his infant seat

Has anyone else had this problem?? I thought it was odd when it happened with the first one and now that it’s happened to a second, it just seems crazy. I do live in Texas where it’s very hot, but still. Am I alone here?

Is there any way to mend it? They are in excellent condition otherwise and would be a good car seat for someone, if not for this problem. They are usable but the handle is sticky, almost as if it melted. All I can think of is tape. Any other ideas?? Thanks
I doubt they are under warranty. Vallie has a new one that this hasn’t happend to (yet). The boys are 2 and 5 years old, it seemed to start happening when they were (both) about 2 years old.

I can’t see how I can be the only person who’s experienced this (twice!). I think I will call Graco. Thanks everyone!

I have a preemie that will be getting out of the NICU soon. I was told now I need to purchase a car seat just for preemies. Anyone who has had this experience please suggest a good car seat that I can look for. I am trying to keep it under 0.00 if possible. Thanks!

We are getting the Britax B-Ready stroller, but I can’t decide between 2 infant car seats. The Peg Perego Primo Viaggio SIP 30/30 vs. the Britax Chaperone! I know Graco, and the Chicco have good car seats as well, but these are just the 2 we feel are going to be the safest and most comfortable for our baby! Please Give me your opinion on which of the 2 you have had an experience with or heard about!! Thank you!!

I was wondering if this car seat would be a good seat for a new born baby, a baby coming home from the hospital… I am going to have it installed by the fire department because it does seem too complicated to do it myself. But it will be installed [rear facing] and all though the car seat is told to fit babies starting at 5 ibs. i’ve read reviews & some people beg to differ…

Is the Safety 1st complete Air convertible car seat a good car seat for a new born?
Will it work fine in a 95 honda accord?
PROS & CONS?

we were drivin and i saw the little maroon 85 buick century in my hometown. had been detassling, obsessed with cars, wantin to buy EVERY car. this one was in my price range (500) and we test drove it.

2 owners: young man (who drove it back and forth to tennessee, rating it as a "pretty good car") and his father (everyday driving) sold it due to their "upgrade"- the fairly new car in the driveway. they had many cars there

anyways, im about to confront the guy who sold it to me. im not scared of it honestly but its gettin creepy a little.

its my first car. had it since aug, 09. younger owner said he bought it off an old woman whod gotten too old to go to church. it was her church car.

the guy put some MAJOR mileage on it (216000 when i bought it) still ran good but has its problems from age.
first, i drove underage. i stole my moms car when i was 5 outa the drive. born to drive !
so, i had no strange occurances with the car til we were livin outside ( i had it about 2 weeks at this time) and i went to go to sleep in the car cuz i didnt wana sleep in the tent. a small snake fell out of it between the door and engine compartment.

freaked me OUT. but we WERE in the middle of nowhere. and my stepdads uncle had died there too. this ALSO freaked me out.

anyhow, so were livin at an actual house about 6mo later. i drive it regularly to my bfs house. about a month into this, i hit a BIGG puddle (enough to completely get the tires.) wet the brakes and gave me a quick alert they needed work. they started to fail. i (dumbly) continue drivin it.

brakes get worse (dont forget im on a permit, 15 yrs old, no license, INSURANCE, registration, plates, no proper brakes, seat belt, etc) so im squarin off a hill and it appears a drunk driver is behind me.

turns out its a cop and i get pulled over and ticketed on all the offences. i later get the car put in my name. insured. everything good again and they took it off my record and im about to get my license now.
after the drivin underage thing, my stepdad helped me to take care of the brakes. got hit on the head by the hood (hood cylinder was goin out too.. couldnt hold it up at all anymore. i replaced it and now i feel much saver and am able to work w/o bein hit). i test drove it after we fixed the brakes and he let me be the 1st to drive. NO BRAKES. i go round and round sayin (stop stop stop stop please stop) freakin out. so then i put it in low gear, then in neutral, then park. it stopped easily then. my stepdad drives it around, goes round the curve, presses the brakes, and then what do u know- IT GOT BETTER. then we put it in park and tightened the bleed bolt. 1 brake came back after this.

TURNS OUT- the drivers side brake line had a flow comin from it (it had RUSTED COMPLETELY OUT). so now we got a new one but i aint put it on yet.

things been scarin me recently.

NOW HERES THE MOST CREEPY PARTS.
i feel like someones watching me the whole time im workin on my car, as if evaluating me.
im spendin a lota money on this car (cuttin a little bit of the budget now tho..) cuz i want it as our family car when im able to drive (my bf and i plan to move in together when were 18 and if possible start a family)

so i destroy the car. tore it down completely. sandin, findin new seat fabric (old seats fallin apart), new engine parts, new brakes (still workin on that one), new paint job.

thats where it started, tearin it down- i took out one of the seats, and found 2 things:
firstly, i found a bolt. a random bolt, under the seatbelt windy thing INSIDE the body. a messup bolt from manufacture time- 26 years ago! i was amazed at the bolt and kept it.

HERES A THING TO WONDER ABOUT- second thing i found- a bunch of hair…. reddish hair, that almost fell apart when i picked it up.

THATS WHEN IT STARTED
THIS IS WHERE TO REALLY PAY ATTENTION TO THE STORY-
so i find this hair and im wondering if it must be the womans hair, the woman who used to own it (who could currently have died)

a couple/few weeks later i have a dream im workin on my car, and its dark and theres a presence. its not happy. its there, maybe even threatening. (this is a dream, remember).
i stopped workin on it and just worked on somethin else cuz it scared me, in the dream.

A LITTLE WHILE LATER i have a dream that my car somehow started rolling, and i chased it, mainly concerned about it ruinin someones stuff or it gettin ruined. i was able to stop it with my own strength, and then it was little or somethin.

NEXT DREAM-
a woman with blonde/blonde red hair lookin like she was from the 50s.
she was around my car. she greeted me, showed me some kids she had…. was unhappy. i dont know her at all. never seen her before.

recently i went out to the garage (i have antifreeze, FREON, oil, paint dust, primer dust, and etc on the floor where this was) and somethin was frozen on the floor and it looked really weird.

think someone co
could have died in that car? the front and rear windshields have been broken. shattered. i found the glass by the inside of the body. front windshields been improperly resealed. leaked for a while there, according to the inside of the top of the car. rusted a little.

there are dents by the front passenger side right up from the windshield, on the very top of the car. i discovered this while sanding. then i discovered some on the back on the opposite side. they look like someone pressed 4 or 5 fingers hard into the top of the car (or rocks suddenly and harshly hit it or were pressed into it) like…. as if it had rolled before

My daughter is almost 11 months old. She’s growing out of her carseat. The weight limit is 22lbs and she’s getting close. I’ve been looking online for carseats and there are just so many its hard to pick. Also I dont want a piece of junk but I also don’t want to pay a whole lot of money for one. I’ve seen some for 0,0, 0 so the price range is all over. I’ve also seen some 3in1 seats. Can some other moms give me advice on a good car seat that’s not over priced?

My daughter has a graco carrier car seat right now, but a month ago at her 6 month check up she was 28.5 in and 19 lbs. Her car seat only goes to 29 in and 22 lbs. So I know it is now time for a new car seat! I am interested in the convertible car seats since she has still face backwards for 5 more months. If anyone has any suggestions for a good car seat I would gladly appreciate it because I am not sure what to get! Thanks

My son is three months old and weighs 17 lbs. His current car seat has a limit of 22 lbs. I am trying to find a good car seat for when he reaches the 22 lb mark.(He seems to be gaining about 1lb a week!)

Should he be in a forward facing or rear facing? Should it be a convertable seat or a toddler seat? I am totally lost on this one.

Thanks!

I’m in the ,000 and less area. I was looking at the new Scion XB. I heard it was a pretty good car. Any other ideas? I preferably want something with pretty good gas mileage. What do you people think? Links too if you can!
