So, I’m crazy late for my camping trip to PA with the kids and I’m sure that I’ll be pitching our tent in the dark tonight but who cares! The Britax Marathon 70 is here and there was no way I could leave after I saw the UPS truck pull up as I was literally backing the van out [...]
I feel I need to start this review with a disclaimer. I am not a huge infant seat user. I didn’t have one for my older daughter, and I didn’t purchase one with my baby. I was looking forward to the onBoard 35 Air road test as a way to try out something I’m not used to at all.
And if I may echo Darren, WOW.
No, it’s not you. It’s them. Really. It’s almost as bad as their 6 names and counting for the Alpha Omega Elite but it’s still relatively early in the onBoard game so who knows how many more versions of this seat they can come up with. Anyway, in an effort to cut down on some of the inevitable confusion – we [...]
This isn’t a full review, but I wanted to share our experience with the original Britax Frontier model in booster mode. In short, we love it . This is Karsten last summer, he was almost 12, about 90 pounds, and about 60 inches tall. That’s the top listed height limit for the original Frontier [...]
I bought my first child safety seat made by Dorel back around 1999, before I became involved in child passenger safety. It was the original Cosco High Back combo booster. Consumer Reports had given it a top rating. Who was I to disagree? While it was a good value, it was difficult to use, from the tricky installation [...]
Last Friday I posted the first part of my Sienna review, 2011 Toyota Sienna Review Part 1–Mommy Like?, and it included some of the safety features and kid-specific features that you’ll find on the new Sienna minivan. Today’s part of the review focuses on the fun stuff!
What can I say? Every now and then here at CarseatBlog.com, we get something really awesome thrown our way. Well, this wasn’t thrown our way, more driven our way. Semantics aside, I was the lucky one who got the chance to drive the 2011 Toyota Sienna for a week to see if it’s really all [...]
The Cybex Solution X-Fix is a brand new booster seat to the American market with unique European features, like rigid LATCH and fashion-forward design.
Vehicle seat belts are designed to fit an average 160 lbs. man, not your average 4-10 year old child. That’s why we have booster seats. A booster seat raises the child up so [...]
I’ve decided to document how various combination (harness/booster) seats fit my youngest son in booster mode. In these photos he is 5 ½ years-old, 48 lbs and 46″ tall. Our full Maestro review has been delayed for some time as we were unable to procure a sample from Evenflo. So, for a quick review of this CR in booster [...]
This is a quick review of the newest Dreamtime Deluxe highback booster from Harmony Juvenile Products. This revised model (#0303002JGY, DOM 01/2010 ) has modified shoulder belt guides that should improve compatibility with most vehicle lap/shoulder seatbelts. This particular model has a grey mesh and soft microfiber suede cover. FYI – there may still be some original models in stock online or on store shelves but if you find a model with [...]
