Guest guest Posted August 10, 2001 Report Share Posted August 10, 2001 Hi All, Thought I'd add my 2 cents about car seats .... Last week I bought a seat for my husband's car. I have a Britax but didn't really want to spend that much for another one. While checking things out, I discovered a booster seat that goes from 20 - 80 pounds. I thought this was a great idea. The catch is, it's only forward facing. I'm pleased so far!

Guest guest Posted August 10, 2001 Report Share Posted August 10, 2001 A booster seat for 20 lbs...thats cool! When my son was 3 was when he got his first booster seat because back then I was told and had read that booster seats shouldn't be used until after 2 years old - we waited till he was 3 because we couldn't afford a good booster at the time. I am pleased to hear that they can be used at 20 pounds now. Thank you > Hi All, > Thought I'd add my 2 cents about car seats .... Last > week I bought a seat for my husband's car.

Guest guest Posted August 10, 2001 Report Share Posted August 10, 2001 What you do is remove the harness once they are 40 pounds and then use the seat belt.

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 I know there was a link a little while back about car seats. I know my sister-in-law has Alpha Omega Elite Convertible Car Seat found at http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2401317. She really likes it...she actually has 4 as she has 4 little ones (oldest 5). I'm not sure how that is different or the same from what you are looking at but may be worth looking into. lisa > > My 9 month old twins have almost out grown their infant car seats. Has anyone used an Alpha Sport NYC Convertible Care Seat? It is supposed to be usable for children 5 lbs all the way up to 80 lbs. From what I've read it converts from a car seat to a booster seat. I want to be able to find a car seat that I can use for a long time, since I have to buy them 2 at a time. Any recommendations on what type of care seat is good? > > Thanks for you help > > Lorie > Mom to Spencer 9 months > Left Side Plagio > DOC BAND GRAD 9/07-12/07 > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 That is the one that I was looking at. Since your sister in law has 4 of them, they most be pretty good.... Thank you It's always nice getting some one else's opinion before you go out and make a purchase.

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 And after you go to babies R us, buy somewhere else that you can find it cheaper. lol. We have a Britax Marathon and love it. It goes up to 65 lbs. My daughter has used it since she was 5 mo old. -christine > > I've always heard great things about Britax. > > We have an Alpha Omega http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2401317 > > It goes up to 100lbs.? It's very sturdy - washes up great. Worked well with her band - we took out the pillow and put puffy covers on the straps for her torticollis. > Take your babies to babies r us and have them sit in ALL of them - also try them IN your car - if you have a smaller car then it might be harder to get one of the bigger seats in there - especially if you have 2?seats to put in.? I use this in a minivan so it works well. > HTH! > > > Jen and Luli - 24 months > Left tort - Right Plagio - Hanger Band Grad - CA > http://www.babiesonline.com/babies/j/jens5th/ > > > Car Seats > > > > > . > > > > > ________________________________________________________________________ > More new features than ever.
