    Nauti and top tether

    I'm getting ready to switch the seats around in my van and because of the darn integrated child seat (should have never gotten a van with that stupid thing---though it HAS come in handy a time or two when I had someone elses kdis with me!) I only have one set of lower LATCH hooks. Which leaves...

    Chevy Uplander & seat configuration

    We drive a 2005 Chevy Uplander with an integrated child seat in the passenger captains chair. Come January I'm going to need to figure out where to put a six year old in a Graco Affix, a four year old in a Graco Nauti and an infant in a Graco SnugRide. Sounds easy but here's the catch...the...

    I'm dreaming of downsizing...

    Except our family size is increasing!! We currently drive an '05 Chevorlet Uplander. I have a love-hate relationship with it. A few reasons for wanting a car... -if right car is purchased we will save on gas (currently just under $100/week in gas!) -the trunk space is terrible -we hardly...

    Chevy Uplander and three car seats

    I am pregnant with our third and when this baby gets here the older two will still be in car seats. The three year old currently rides rear facing in his Evenflo Triumph Advance, the five year old rides forward facing in his Graco Nautalis, still harnessed. I have three top tethers but one is in...

    We don't NEED a new seat but I'd like one...!

    Currently we have the 4 year old (five next month!) in a Graco Nauti and the 4 year old in an Evenflo Triumph Advance...I've loved the seat for quite some time, and there really is nothing wrong with it but I just don't like how tall the base is and how it seems to always lean one or or another...

    Nauti and EFTA install questions

    I have one of each and instead of posting two different thread I figured I would just do it on one! First up the EFTA...for some reason no matter how good a fit I get with it the top always seems to be off center according to the headrest and slowly tips. The seat itself is mega tight but for...

    Dodge Caliber questions

    A friend of mine has a Dodge Caliber and wants to move up to something bigger with the third baby on the way. We have a Chevy Uplander and do not plan to need any more than the two seats that we are already using. I've been looking at other cars and the Caliber never crossed my mind till she...

    Just got the Graco Nautilus

    And I really love it. I haven't installed it yet but my son fits in it great. My only concern is the crotch strap. I have it on the setting farthest from him but it still seems he is sitting on it. Not by much but a little. It doesn't seem to bother him but I just wonder how long it will last...

    First gripe about my van

    We have an '05 Chevy Uplander and I just realized that the only place I can put a car seat back there is in the middle. Only the middle seat has the top tether. What totally bums me out is that every seat we have or have tried is super tall and it blocks my view out the back window. So sad. :(

    Am I the only one using an ETA

    It just seems I don't see anyone on here using them anymore! When we first got Riley's about a year and a half ago everyone loved them. Has something changed? Are they not considered as good as they once were?

    No tether for forward facing in captains chairs

    We have an '05 Chevy Uplander and I can't find tether spots for a forward facing seat. The only ones I can find are all the way in the back and I would prefer not to put one of the kiddos back there if I didn't have to. Do you think there would be any way I could get some retrofitted? The back...

    Need a spare seat!

    On a daily basis we use the Evenflo Triumph Advance seats for both boys. Both still rear facing. One is two and 28lbs and the other is 1 and 18lbs. My husband and I share one vehicle so sometime he has it at work with him and when a friend comes to get me I don't have the seats so I have to take...

    Does anyone have a Chevy Uplander?

    We DESPERATELY need to trade our car in within the next couple months before baby number two comes. We currently have a PT Cruiser and will soon have three kids (my sister is the extra) to haul around. Today we went looking at vans and stumbled across an 05 Chevorlet Uplander and I am in LOVE...

    Alpha Sport

    A friend of mine just went out and bought this seat for her 4 year old who weighs 36 lbs. I am not sure how great of a seat this one is so I promised I would ask some of the pros over here! This is the link to the seat she just bought...any thoughts...

    Two RF seats in a 2006 PT Cruiser

    Someone please tell me that this can be done comfortably and safely. We currently have a Pt Cruiser and while I would love to trade it in for a minivan it doesn't look like we will be able to. We haven't even had the car for two years so I know we wouldn't get the best deal. Not to mention in...

    EFTA LX vs DLX

    I was at toys r us today and I saw the EFTA DLX with the sandbox cover and it looks soooo much more cushier and the inserts that come with it are so much better than the ones for the LX! But here is my question...I saw on the side of the seat sewn onto the fabric (where the side EPS foam is) a...

    A generic "what would you recomend"

    I have some friends wanting to get new seats for their kiddos. All are ERF. Money is tight for some, and for others money is not a problem. Lets just say all kids are between 6 months to 15 months and all weigh 25lbs and under. I have suggested a few seats to some but I just do not feel that...

    Does this look like a good fit?

    PLEASE ignore the fact that it is FF. I had my nephew in the seat and he is 42lbs. I just put ds in so I could snap a couple pictures. I'm just not liking the way he fits in there. Is it just me or does it look funky? Sorry about the picture size, photobucket wont let me resize for some reason.

    Uh oh! I'm starting to like the Scenera better than the EFTA

    It just seems that I can get better fit for my ds in the Scenera than I can the EFTA. I just don't get it. I am trying to upload pictures of him sitting in the EFTA...it just doesn't look right! Does anyone else just love the Scenera!?
