Do you think he Cosco Convertible Scenera or the Cosco Convertible Apt 40RF are a decent choice for a carseat in my husbands car which we only use 10-20% of the time? He will be getting a Ford Edge or a Ford Escape.

I have a Britax Marathon in my car Grand Jeep Cherokee and my daughter is still rear facing. The other option is to move the Britax back and forth between cars.



Go with the Evenflo Tribute - same price range and will fit either Ford better. For both cars you may most likely install on the passenger side as opposed to the center. When the time comes we can help yo with the install.

Has anyone used the Graco Headwise 70 in a Nissan Rogue? Just installed today for our 10 month old but I am worried its not secure enough....

TIA!



Not an easy seat in your car, but need additional information. Where in the car did you place the seat and did you use LATCH or the seat belt?

Re: Car Seat Chris is Back

Hi Chris--

I have two Diono Radian RXT Car Seats- that convert to high back boosters, then backless boosters. My DD is 4.5 and about 41/42 lbs and I am still using 5pt harness-- is there a weight limit for LATCH installation in a Toyota Venza, or what about a Nissan Pathfinder (we are considering getting this as a new car in future). My son is almost 20 months, but am curious also as I expect him to use this seat for a long time too..

Thanks!

The seats need to be changed over to using the seat belt for installation.

I have a Britax marathon convertible car seat in my crv. Ds turned 2 a few weeks ago & we are going to turn the seat face forward. He is 29 lbs & 34 inches. Is the passenger side ok to place it or is the middle better?

Passenger side on the CRV works better
