i am not sure if i put this in the right spot but any help would be great, the driver was drunk and it was a hit and run..so please help

I have a Britax infant carrier that my child is out growing, 20 pounds it also a lot to carry in that thing. I have two Britax car-seats that my older son used that are only two years old. I have tried to use the convertible car seats backwards which I never did before my first son fit in the carrier for a year. I can not make them tight to the seat, I use the latch system and have called Britax and they are still able to push forward hardly any force. I tried a 2003 taurus(my car), 2004 Chevy cavalier(husbands) and a 2006 Jeep commander(winter car). I can’t get them to tighten down, any one have another brand that will or maybe a new Britax that fits?
I don’t think I worded it right… The car seats fit in so tight forward facing that when you shake it, it will move the car. When turned around I can no longer use a top latch, so I have only the bottom latch system to use. With the angle of the seat when you are just pulling the carseat down by the front of it with nothing to have the back aginst it will not stay. Is it tight yes.. you can’t move it side to side but if you push on the back which is normally aginst the seat of the car it rocks forward. Lets hope that you understand better, fyi my husband is a cop and in our state they are certified to install car seats, but thanks for trying to tell me I am stupid.
Okay Ford has no recommended latch point for the top latch chevy no recommendation and jeep same there, I already called all of them. And FYI again 2006 was the first model year for a commander. yikes. I had a 2005 dodge minivan like in the video and yes they come with a bottom latch points from the factory. I have no bottom latch points from the factory and I don’t much care for the rebound.
AS I said before he is they go to a class once a year. But, that’s all fine. I still can’t see how the rebounding is safe, just really makes me scared. I don’t see latching the top teather if the manufactures told me they had no safe point.
Maybe I am but these are my children. Can’t help it.

My daughter is 4 1/2 months old and weighs 14 lbs- really heavy once you add the infant carrier. How old was your baby when you moved them to a regular carseat (I know it still has to be rear-facing)

Anyone else have an issue with this? My issue is that to have a rear facing infant carrier in our back seat, we need to push the passenger seat all the way to the front and then no one can sit in the front seat.
Have we done something incorrectly for this to happen? Is there no way that the seat can fit rear facing so we don’t have to buy a new vehicle to accomadate our 2 car seats?

My niece is a big girl and will obviously need a rear facing car seat (she’s only 8 months) but she’s pushing 22 pounds- does she need to move up to the convertible car seat? I’ve searched but I can’t find a website to verify what I learned in my baby basics class and my sister-in-law doesn’t believe me.

They are using the Eddie Bauer Travel System with the infant carrier car seat and stroller.
She doesn’t necessarily think I "made it up" so much as it probably bothers her that she made a mistake in purchasing an other one instead of moving her up to a convertible. She told me that the car seat goes up to 50-55 pounds which can ABSOLUTELY not be true, that child looks stuffed in there to begin with adding 30 pounds would just be CRAZINESS. lol

Thanks you guys, I sent them a couple of links.

…chest…
so the kitty can be "watched?" Kind of like an infant carrier, but for cats.

I’m installing an infant carrier seat in my 06 Toyota Camry…I read the manual and i’m still sorta confused about using latch or just the seat belt or both.My car has acceptable seatbelts. I was just wondering which do you use in your sedan and what’s the benefits of using LATCH? 10 pts for the most helpful. Thanks!!

I was just wondering bc I am interested in using the sling/carrier, however I am scared that it might hurt the baby bc newborns are fragile. In your opinion, is this particular carrier dangerous for a newborn baby? How long would you wait to use it. http://www.walmart.com/ip/Evenflo-BabyGo-Dash-Infant-Carrier-Black/12960878

Looking for an infant car seat (the kind with a base that will stay in the car and a removable infant carrier) that will work in our 2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse. We have done a lot of research with absolutely no legitimate answers, only people stating "this should work" and "try this seat it’s small," so please do not bother answering this question unless you have an answer based on actual experience such as owning this car and having a car seat that works in it. We do NOT want a convertible car seat, I need a seat that I can lift out of the car and carry around with my baby sleeping in it being that I have a 2 year old’s car seat (The Britax Marathon) already installed on one side of the Eclipse so I need to be able to have the carrier I can remove as needed. Anyone that has this car knows that the back seats dip down in the center which so far has made it impossible to find a base that will work back there without sliding all over the place. Every seat we have tried so far will not work. Also there is no latch so it has to be a seat that will work using belts only. We do not have the time or money to keep buying seats that don’t work and the new baby will be here in a few short months. Again, please only answer this question if you have a definite answer of what WILL work (not what might work or what could possibly work but only what WILL work) based on your own personal use or if you have a friend or family member with this car who has an infant seat installed rear facing.

Thank you in advance for your help
Once again- size is not the main issue- the main problem is that the seats DIP IN in the center therefore a care seat base that is straight on the bottom does not fit flat on the seat which causes it to slide around. If you have this car please let us know which seat you use- not an answer based on size of a seat. Thank you

We may be taking a business trip to Denver, Colorado this summer. If my son is born the week of his due date, he’ll be about 4 and a half months, but we all know how babies are!

So, what would I need to plan on him being able to and/or wanting "do"? Would he still be in his infant carrier?

We are trying for our 2nd, so we’d have a toddler and an infant. I was looking at the sit and stand strollers with the front seat, and the rear facing/stand up part for the older child in the back. My older son would be just over 2 to 2 1/2 when the baby’s born. Is this a good one to buy or should I get a regular double stroller? And which brand would be the best? Oh yeah my infant carrier is Evenflo, so I don’t know if that would fit in another brand of stroller.

We have just about outgrown our infant carrier plus her legs are hanging way over the edge.
Give me some ideas(names of them)and pics if you can.
Georgia’s mama-where did you get yours at?

I have a three month old and I am trying to move her from her infant carrier to the convertible Evenflo Triumph Advance carseat. I installed it according to the directions, in the rear-facing position, of course, and in the most reclined position possible. The line on the carseat is parallel with the ground, but I still feel like my daughter sits up too much and ends up slumping. She is good at holding her head up, but she still seems really uncomfortable in this seat. I can’t imagine how it would work with a newborn. If anyone has experiences with this or advice, I’d love to hear it. Thanks in advance!
My baby hasn’t reached the height or weight limits of her carrier, but her body is shaped in such a way that it is almost impossible to buckle her, even with the straps out as far as they can go. With winter coming and thicker clothing on her, I don’t think it’s going to last more than a few weeks.

I have a Graco travel system. I have looked through the manual and can’t seem to find when you can take the infant carrier out of the stroller and just use the stroller portion without the carrier (ex. by weight, when they can sit up, etc). I couldn’t find the recommendations for how long to use the carrier in the stroller. Does anyone know?

Do you have any good tips to travel with an infant (9 mo)? I have traveled with him at 2 mo only for 1 hour and it was a nightmare with the stroller, carseat (infant carrier) diaper bag, purse trying to make bottles with him on my lap. it was just me and the baby and i was so overwhelmed with everything. Should i get 2 seats (i dont really want to because its cheaper) i will not be alone this time, i will have the father with me but i want to make this trip to germany enjoyable for myself and my son. I would like to know everythin as far as how to keep the baby occupied to how i should pack to make it simpler!! thanks!!
