let's play car seat roll call

[AnnieW625]

DD1 is in Graco High back turbo booster in both of our cars.

DD2 is still rear facing in a BLVD70, and a RA55. She is in the BLVD in the Pilot, and the RA in the Corolla.

[wellyes]

DD is in a ra55 in my car, a maestro in DH's and a Radian in MIL's. All FF.
DS is in a blvd in my car, something random in DH`s (alpha omega?) and a scenera in MIL's. All RF.

If I had to do it all again, I'd do similar. Britax for under 3. I really like the Maestro for 3+.
Not sure how my favorite seat ended up with MIL, but she does drive the kids a lot, so it's is fine.

[larig]

DS FF in frontier 85 and for travel a maestro.

gotta say, that maestro is great. I think it fits DS's legs from knee to hip better. DS never has said if he likes one or the other better, but he was happy to travel with it last month, as was I.

[hillview]

DS1 is in a HBB in both cars
DS2 is in a RN and FR

DS1 is 6.5 years old and 60 lbs and ~53" tall (or so)
DS2 is 4.5 years ols and 53 lbs and ~46" tall (or so)

DD - 2yr5mos 34lbs 38in

TrueFit Premier in my car
TrueFit Orginal in Exs car
Tribute in my GMs car (soon to be replaced with a Natilius)
Scenera as a spare

[wencit]

DS1 is harnessed in a Frontier 85 in my car. He has a Graco Nautilus and Ride Safer Travel Vest for travel/backup seats.

DS2 is in a MA in my car, and has a Scenera for travel.

[trcy]

DD is RF in a Blvd 70

[crl]

DS is eight and a half and I just switched him to a low back booster in both cars. Mine (the primary car) is a lite rider. DH's is a bubblebum to double for travel. I made the switch mostly to improve visibility out of the rear of the car. I was tired of trying to see around ds' huge high back booster and I figured at this age we were good to switch to the low back booter.

Dd is two next month and is rear facing in a Britax Roundabout in my car and an old style radian in Dh's. No plans to turn her around anytime soon. :)

[MontrealMum]

DS is 4.5 and over 45"/41lbs (those stats are from last Aug.)

He's in a MA in my car, a RN XTSL in DH's car, and a Frontier (harnessed) in my mom's car. He'll be moving out of the MA soon...probably into another Frontier. :heartbeat: that seat.

[mjs64]

DS (13 mo) is RFing in a Blvd and in a RA. Kind of wish we had gone for the MA instead of the RA in the 2nd car because the Blvd is so much nicer...but at least he is RFing. Would never have known about ERFing if not for this board.

[AnnieW625]

I wish the Maestro would have come out a year sooner. I still kind of feel like I wasted some $ on my Frontiers as DD1 can't buckle herself into it yet so it isn't being used right now. I keep debating about selling it but just haven't done so yet.

DD1 is 46" and 43lbs. DD2 is about 34" and 26lbs. DD2 will continue to rear face in my car for the unforeseen future, however DH is pushing to turn her around in his car because the back seat doesn't recline and he has a hard time getting her in and out of the car. I told him I won't even discuss until she turns 2.

[megs4413]

[mommylamb]

[WatchingThemGrow]

DS1 is 4 in a Marathon and a Radian65
DS2 is 2.75 in a Marathon and a Marathon

[legaleagle]

DS1 is rf'ing in my mazda5 in an XTSL, ff'ing in frontier 85s in DH sentra 's and my mom's altima
DS2 is rf'ing in XTSL in mine, true fit in DH's and marathon 70 in my mom's (also frequently used by my 1 year old niece)

Soon to be reconfigured with new baby in CCO and DS1 in the frontier in my car, and XTSL ff'ing in DH's car.

I also have an unused blvd 65 (DS's 1st seat) sitting around, I may end up switching the seats around in DH's car. It's a PITA to install seats in and I'm not 100% sure I can get a good ff'ing install of the radian.

Honest snapshot, right now? :tongue5: (tongue out because you guys might be shocked, lol)

Frontier 80 Driver's side in the van, but mostly for my daycare kiddo (he likes pink...)
Cosco Topside backless (Brand new at Target, 12.99)in the center of the van for Leah (who only rides there to Tae Kwon Do, now that she's on the school bus daily...)

Harmony LiteRider (Youth Booster, the $13.50 one at Walmart) in DH's car.

My *ideal* seat situation? I want to put the Safeguard Go back in DH's car, or at least the First Years Pathway B570 highback, and harness her back in the FR more.

My super mega ideal situation would involve at least 1 purple Kiddy booster... http://www.wayfair.com/Kiddy-USA-Kiddy-World-Plus-Car-Seat-51-100-WP-YID1008.html?refid=GPA49-YID1008&gclid=CIbqsaLG8a4CFQfe4Aod11pjLA

(What's my count, Annie? I think I'm pushing 75 seats now...need to find the spreadsheet :ROTFLMAO:)

DD2 is 19 months and ~32''.....RF in a diplomat in DH's car and RF in a Blvd in my car.

[fumofu]

DS is RFing in a Diono Radian RXT.
I just purchased a Evenflo Maestro for grandparents' car and for travel.

DC2 will be RFing in a Graco Snugride 35 that DS finally outgrew back in December.

[Ms B]

DS, almost 7 months, over 28 inches and 20 pounds

RF in DS's Toyota Avalon in a RA55.

RF in my Jeep Grand Cherokee in a Keyfit 30 . . . for about another six weeks top.

I need a good deal on a Britax Blvd or a Diono Radian . . . and fast!! Anyone think there will be any good Easter sales?

[mom2khj]

DD1 (9) - no seat or a LBB (either Literider or bottom of Monterey) depending on the car. 70lbs and close to (if not over) 60 inches.

DD2 (6) - Britax Parkway SGL in all cars she rides in. Not sure on her stats, probably between 45-55 lbs and no clue on height.

DS (18 months) - RF in a Marathon 70. I need to check his height next time he's in the car though and make sure he's not too tall for RF. He's 32lbs, so he's got a little time on the weight. But he's also 36 inches tall and is longer in the torso.

[Melaine]

DDs are both 5.5, appro. 42" and 42#. They have just moved to Britax Parkways.

New baby will be in a Snugride.

[TwoBees]

DD (29 months, almost 20 lbs) RF in RA55s in both cars.

[stillplayswithbarbies]

2004 Toyota Sienna
9 year old, 56 lb, 55" - Britax Frontier, harnessed
3.5 year old, 28 lb, Radian XTSL, rear facing

2004 Honda Accord
9 year old, 56 lb, 55" - Britax Parkway
3.5 year old, 28 lb, Combi Coccoro, rear facing

Extras for the 9 year old for travel or carpool:
Graco Turbobooster high back
Harmony LiteRider low back

Recently outgrown:
my beloved SafeGuard child seat. The big ugly monster. not the Go. It's in storage now waiting for Little Sister to need it, but it doesn't look like she will outgrow her Coccoro any time soon since she still fits in it rear-facing.

[peanut520]

FR85 in harness mode in all cars including my parents car and a Maestro for travel for dd who just turned 30lbs and 38"

[KHF]

[newg]

DS, almost 7 months, over 28 inches and 20 pounds

RF in DS's Toyota Avalon in a RA55.

RF in my Jeep Grand Cherokee in a Keyfit 30 . . . for about another six weeks top.

I need a good deal on a Britax Blvd or a Diono Radian . . . and fast!! Anyone think there will be any good Easter sales?

check www.albeebaby.com. I just got a blvd 70 cs from them, and it was cheaper by $20-30 than any other place I looked.

[lizzywednesday]

DD is 2, RF-ing in Cowmooflage Britax Blvd (new in 2010) and Riviera MA (new in 2010)

We also still have her KeyFit30 at the ILs' (I think; they'd asked if we would loan it to a friend of theirs) with three bases. Color scheme is Adventure (Light green with brown accents.)

I'm the only person I know with an over-1 DC who's still RF-ing, but I don't care. (Neither does DD, as long as the sun's not in her face.)

[Joolsplus2]

Well, I'm posting again... I cleaned out the cars and took out the backless boosters (I did leave one in the third row of the van for an extra). Leah's pretty peeved with me doing that, but oh well, too bad, so sad. Except she's almost at the top of the Frontier! Darn her tall genes :tongue5: I think she's got a few months left while I wait for the CruiserFix Pro to come out... http://www.kiddyusa.com/kiddy-seats/kiddy-cruiserfix-pro.html (or I can use the FR as a booster with the secure guard clip...which has been my plan since I bought the seat in 2008, anyway...)

[babychi]

DD is FF in her Britax Boulevard (x2 in both our cars). She is 27 months and we just switched her to FF last month (cry!) because she was really starting to complain about her legs being uncomfortable.

[YouAreTheFocus]

DS is 2.5, 28lbs, 35 in. He is rf in a Blvd70 with 2-3 inches over his head. We also have an Evenflo Tribute for air travel, which is used rf as well.

[tmahanes]

B is 25 months 36" and 34lbs RF in:

My truck in a Radian XTSL
DH's car in a Marathon Classic (until Saturday when his new RXT comes:yay:)
FIL's truck in a Complete Air


And FF :( in:

My mom's car in Roundabout Classic (just turned tonight but is going to be sold when the RXT comes and she will get the MA Classic). He only rides with her maybe once a month or so.

[twowhat?]

Our girls are 36-38 inches and 29-30 pounds, and sit RF in Radian65s in our minivan (primary car) and FF in Safety 1st Avenues in our Subaru Forester (we kept them RF for 3 years in this car before we couldn't stand it anymore).
