I believe that it's a 6 yr expiry on the harness and high back booster with a 9 yr expiry on it as a low back booster. Make sure you get one with the most recent date of manufacture as possible to get the most useful life out of it.
I recently read a newspaper article about an infant dying while sleeping in their carseat. Baby fell asleep in the car, Mom transferred baby into the house. Placed the carseat in the crib. She checked on the baby when she woke in the...
The graco nautilus is a very reasonably priced combo seat. You need to switch to booster mode until you get a different harnessed seat if he has outgrown the seat.
I would suggest that you look at a FF harnessed seat that converts to a good booster when you're done with the harness. The Graco Nautilus and the Britax Frontier are great choices. I'm guessing that you have a 3 in 1 seat which makes a...
the 2 piece ones last longer because you don't really outgrow them by height. I agree though, the MEC ones are great (we bought super duper big last year and should get at least part of this summer - hopefully all summer out of it) The...

LATCH has been around for awhile and your car manual will tell you if what you have your seat hooked up to is LATCH or not! If it's not you need to do seatbelt installs but your car manual will tell you what you need to do. As for the...
our frontier straps drive me nuts. I wish it had the same thick harness as our marathon. I'm sad to hear that the nautilus is the same. I make sure the straps aren't twisted every time and untwist them if they are. It's not too bad if...
if your eldest is almost 4 I would personally skip the true-fit and go with a FF harness/ booster seat like the graco Nautilus. It FF with harness a good long time and is a good booster afterwards. That way you can tell your DH that...
As a teacher it drives me bonkers to see what kids bring from home to eat as well. I had a student in grade 2 try to tell me that a Bearpaw wasn't a cookie... it was a Bearpaw. Hmmm - interesting because the package says 'soft cookie' on...
