Can all cars be good cars....?




Xzyle


if taken care of properly or is it with some cars no matter what they will give up on you


Answer
If all cars made around the world were designed and built by the same manufacturer and all cost the same amount of money, you could assume that the same things would happen to all of the cars within a similar period of time......depending on where and how they are driven.

Regularly maintaining a car with services, correct tire pressures, correct fuel octane rating and NOT modifying the engine, will result in the vehicle being more reliable.

Obviously, if you drive any car as though you're a Nascar driver, it won't last as long.

The bad news is: Some cheap cars are designed to last for a short period of time - no matter how well you take care of them........they're like disposable cigarette lighters. When they give up on you - throw them away.

Toyota 4runner question...car seats?




Mark H


Does anyone know if you can fit three car seats in the middle bench of a 2007 Toyota 4runner?


Answer
Almost ANY car can fit 3 child seats across. It matters more what child seat you have or are willing to buy. Sunshine Kids Radian65 is the narrowest car seat you can buy and touts getting 3 across even in tiny vechicles like Honda Civic and Chevy Cavalier. Here's thread with tons of different combinations in different vehicles, some including pics. http://www.car-seat.org/showthread.php?t=33226 You can even searcht the thread for your vehicle to see what other people may have tried. Its not a list of everything possible, just what other people (mostly car seat techs) have gotten. HEre's an equally informative thread with people posting whether they got the Radian65 to work in their cars: http://www.car-seat.org/showthread.php?t=18235 b/c the Radian65 can be difficult to install. Here's important thigs to remember (via a smart Tech on the forums1) for doing 3 across:
1. don't assume.

A big car seat may fit in a 3 across in a small car. Even in a space where a smaller seat did not fit.

A combination of seats that seems impossible may work if you change what goes where. Or what child uses which seat.

Driver and passenger outboard positions are not necessarily identical.

2. Don't be afraid to try something someone else found impossible.

3. Don't measure. The numbers NEVER add up to enough space, but that doesn't mean squat.

4. You may end up with a car seat brand you said you would never buy. (I may have to buy another d@mn Radian in the near future)

5. Don't attempt a 3 across when you are really hungry/tired/annoyed with the world. You'll end up throwing something expensive down on the driveway in disgust.

6. Do keep your sense of humor when the cop stops to ask you what you are doing in your bathrobe throwing stuff around in the driveway at 2 AM.

7.Remember that new seats are almost always cheaper than new cars. Practice saying this in the mirror before breaking the news to your SO.

8. Find a car seat buddy to play 3 across with. ( JULIE!!) Make sure to have lots of ice cream and root beer on-hand to see you through it.
