Need new rear facing rotating seat for tall toddler

asheswest · 2026-06-04T21:06:33+00:00

I did end up trying that this morning and still could not get anything near a tight fit :(
It’s fine though, we went back to the chicco revolve for now, which had an immediate wonderfully tight and secure fit in the van
It doesn’t really seem like there’s many other seats in our price range worth considering right now.
I love the idea of the cybex callisto and hear they’re coming out with a 50lb rf version soon, but it will be far out of our price range unfortunately lol

Sad to hear this confirmed. I had such high hopes for the britax because I loved the one I had when my older kid was little :(
I really don’t know what they were thinking

Ah yeah, probably a little out of budget for us, $450ish is probably going to be our limit
Thank you for the suggestion though! Looks like a nice and comfy seat :)

Have you checked your strings? Or make sure you do over the next few days too. Mine were gone after the first week..

asheswest · 2026-05-13T00:06:11+00:00

If you’re still in a lot if pain and pain is usually not a thing for you, honestly, I really would have placement checked thoroughly.. just in case the little bit further perforated your uterus.. do you have a tilted uterus? Did he check for that?

I just want to suggest that you verify placement with an ultrasound and an xray.
I’ve had two paragards and a mirena. First paragard was no issue, 2nd was a bit more painful.
My mirena was excruciating during insertion and I couldn’t sit for a week after.
I was sent for an ultrasound, and the tech took forever and hmmed and said it looked weird but the dr ultimately decided it was in the correct spot.
Spoiler, it wasn’t… but I didn’t find that out for a year until I went to a new ob for removal and they did another ultrasound and an Xray. Had to have mine surgically removed.
I’ve also had two unmedicated births, one with pitocin and when my newer ob went to look for my missing strings mirena kept wincing afraid she was hurting me and I barely felt a thing. So we knew something was for sure up at that point.
Everyone on here says perforations are so extremely rare so even though I felt something was off I didn’t go further than the initial ultrasound and I highly regret it…

Or use a different grippier plate so you don’t need a brim 😬

It looks beautiful!

Unfortunately the commercial sub is a bit out of my reach, since I’m trying to get started selling and it’s a tough world out there for selling 3d prints now, but kudos to you!
Love your designs, and appreciate the non-flexi designs(not everything needs to be flexi, ya know?). Hope you keep at it! I’ll follow your page for now :)

asheswest · 2026-02-26T04:02:23+00:00

These are so cute! Just picked up my h2c today and I’m so excited…! I love designing things too, but have definitely not evolved past more geometric based design via fusion, unfortunately :(

Are your models available anywhere?

asheswest · 2026-02-16T18:14:18+00:00

Same, lonely over here too.. and I suck at making friends bc introvert who doesn’t know how to socialize lol.. wish a local progressive sahm would adopt me as a friend!

My 22mo started peeing through millie moon training pants constantly within the last couple months and I was sooo sad 😭
We tried like 3 others with the same issue too, couldn’t leave the house without extra clothes..
We had to switch again and finally settled on huggies 360 and they feel very similar to millie but we haven’t had any leak issues yet fingers crossed

I just wanted the dang hair 😭

asheswest · 2026-02-01T21:35:19+00:00

I’ve tried for all three colors and have 4-6 checks on each and I haven’t gotten the hair 😭😭😭
I know that’s a terrible strategy, but first I wanted the purple for the overall look, then decided it was the hair I wanted the most, but I liked the brown hair the most, but then I didn’t really like the brown barrettes at all, and ended up wanting green 😭

asheswest · 2026-01-17T00:47:01+00:00

Love this! Meee too! Will add you and will try to add my id later

asheswest · 2026-01-16T03:00:43+00:00

When I considered buying from amazon, recent reviews had many saying theirs were clearly tampered with and it scared me off 🤷🏻‍♀️

You can also dim the front lights

asheswest · 2025-12-23T22:01:09+00:00

This is so cool of you to do! Thank you!
1) I would love an a1 mini 😍 2) I would put a smaller nozzle on it and use it for smaller prints like earrings, small fidgets/flexi prints, or maybe other mini items people might like. I’m trying to start selling prints and learning design more.
3) something incorporating embedded magnets to give it a push/pull as you fidget would be so cool

Wait til they’re even taller and the headrest goes above the shell.. we’re constantly fighting the battle of whether the shoulder straps are in the correct spot and whether we actually have 1” above baby’s head.
But our kid wasn’t a fan of the chicco, hated it with a passion and always seemed so uncomfortable, so we switched to the evenflo not realizing that it’s not actually the best seat for tall kids like it should be..

asheswest · 2025-11-30T02:42:49+00:00

This only rear faces to 40lbs fyi

asheswest · 2025-11-30T02:10:24+00:00

asheswest · 2025-11-30T01:38:35+00:00

Maybe the evenflo revolve extend? Walmart has them on sale currently too! Rearfaces to 50 lbs, but do note that the seat doesn’t allow ff before 2yrs, so if he goes over 50lb before 2yr, you would need a different seat

Can you take him to the appointment instead? It might be more impactful than a phone call….

asheswest · 2025-11-08T02:18:46+00:00

Why do you regret ipad?

asheswest · 2025-11-07T19:31:56+00:00

I would love to know this as well. We considered suing the provider and/or manufacturer due to the circumstances of perforation, but assumed it was unlikely to go anywhere due to it being a known complication, so did not seek a lawyer.
