Didn't get exactly what you wanted this holiday season? Don't sweat it! We'll be here with gear recommendations all year long. Led by Tinyhood Gear Specialist, Natalie Gentile.
I'm traveling to California with my lo in the coming weeks, and I'm torn—should I invest in a new carseat or just buy a caddy to put our current seat in?

Hi Martina, |
Hi! At what age would you recommend making the switch to a booster seat? I have a feeling that my 9-month-old will be ready to make the transition soon.

If you’re currently using an infant car seat, you’ll upgrade to a convertible car seat next. It is recommended that all children ride rear-facing until their 2nd birthday or when they reach the highest weight and height capacity of their car seat, at which time you can turn the seat to face forward. Most children transition to a booster seat when they reach 40 lbs and are at least 35 inches tall, depending on the booster seat manufacture's stipulations. This is usually around the age of 4. |
We are taking a trip from CA to FL and my baby will be 10mo at the time. Any essentials for the trip? I saw the baby hammock you can attach to the seat in the airplane but I think my boy will be too large for that by that time... are you familiar with that item? Sadly we have to take a connecting flight because there aren’t any direct flights that go to SW FL, anything to make it easier on me? Do I check the pack n play?

Hi Megan, |
Hi - we are planning to take a flight soon with our two young sons. We will have two of the Radian RXT convertible carseats with us. We have used the Radian travel bags with it in the past, but its not very easy to use - no wheels or shoulder straps on ours. Is there a better product out there that we can use for a travel bag? Ideally it has wheels and is easy to carry because we will have our hands full!
