LVDell, did you use the seatbelt to secure it or does it have LATCH? (What years have LATCH? Has it become standard? Looking for 02--3 C2 or C4S)

Also, is the roundabout pretty close in size to the Marathon? Edit: I noticed the Roundabout is a bit smaller

Anyone use the Marathon or Decathalon? I saw one poster used a Marathon without the base. Using seatbelt or LATCH??

Thanks very much

seatbelt as there is no latch system in the car. I don't know about the dimensions of the marathon, sorry.

Any thoughts about the Chico KeyFit 22 - reviews say it's rated better for infants than the Chico...easier to secure baby to, etc etc... Cons are that it's more expensive but I am basically price insensitive on this matter!

LVDell - I think we'll go with the Snugride as you recommended.
I just discovered a whole new world of strollers etc and because I am pretty sure my wife will want a Bugaboo stroller - and there's a snugride adapter for it...

Good call. One of the reasons we went with the Graco and then the Peg Perego seats is they have adapters for the Bugaboo.

My almost 3 year old is about to outgrow her Britax seat (same as Dell's) and looking for a way to keep her in the back so the two don't fight over the front seat. May give it a try. Is cheap and looks to be NHST approved. Have to look in more depth.

Dell, maybe at coffee this Saturday, you can go over to the Mommy's group that sits next to us and bring up a new topic. I know you are dying to go over there and talk about baby stuff.

Picks of the girls in the P-car as set up now.

Ok, the wife is on a mission to get several car seats. I might as well get something that will fit my cars. Anyone out here know if the Britax Boulevard will fit due to the "narrow requirements" of the 911's back seat?

http://www.britaxusa.com/car-seats/boulevard

Ok, I answered my own question. We bought the Britax Boulevard and it fits fine. I removed the rear back seat rest so that the child seat would fit better. At first, I removed the seat cushion but ended up putting it back since the child seat fit better with it.

By the way, the middle bolt is a 4mm hex head. The plastic cover slides FORWARDS towards the front of the car. If you don't slide it forward and just pull up, it will break the plastic piece underneath that fits against the bolt. Ask me how I know. The side bolt looks like a Torx, but a 6mm hex head fit perfectly to remove it. The plastic cover pops out towards the center of the car.

Default another carseat for the 911 (997)

I just tried two of the cosco seats and found one that fits. There is a very inexpensive toddler seat. Its the cosco High-back booster seat, at target under $50. It has a 5 point harness and fits snug. using the OEM seat belt to attach the car seat keeps it a bit loose side to side, but is still secure. I just took my baby girl for a ride and she loved the car.

Now all you guys need to do is watch some of the kids cartoons and try wearing an outfit like their stars wear when driving cars. Go Speed Racer Daddy!!!

NC911 I really like those teddy bear gloves your little girl has. Kids love that stuff.
