silveryskies says "Excellent Toyota Quality" about Toyota Sienna - 2004

The Sienna remains one of the best minivans available, thanks to stylish look, spacious, comfortable interior, smooth and soft ride and Toyota's reputation for reliability. We have the eight-passenger model which is great for all four of our children. Inside, the Sienna offers plenty of space combined with versatility and comfort. There is so much space for all the kids to have elbow room- they are not smooched all together like in our other vans. In our eight-passenger model, we have three separate second-row seats combining a bench; the middle seat can be moved very close to the front seats, perfect for our 7 month old infant! The third row seats fold right into the cargo area for perfect easy storage/cargo space to haul larger loads. For this year sienna it scored 5/5 stars for both the driver and front passenger in crash testing as well as 5/5 stars for side impact, making this a great ride that has a great high safety rating!

silveryskies says "Nice booster- great reputation" about Britax Parkway

I Love, Love, Love the britax parkway seat and so do my two sons, ages 6 and 3. In fact they both fought over the one parkway when the 3 year old was still in the Britax Marathon- so I had to go out and buy an additional Britax Parkway for the three year old. The Britax parkway is very good for the head rest, which holds the boys' heads if they doze off and is actually comfortable, The cover is washable, very easy to remove and doesn't fade like most other seats. The cup holder is not the best invention, should be taller so drinks do not spill, but we do not use it much anyway. Also in turns the seat does slides a little bit, they could work on that a little. Britax carseats have one of the highest safety ratings of all seats and the lowest number of recalls. Every single one of my 4 children ALL ride in Britax Seats- they are top notch!!! Over all the Britax parkway is an excellent booster and is worth the price!

silveryskies says "Excellent seat overalll" about Britax Marathon

I am currently the mother of four children under the age of six. All four of my children are in Britax seats. The oldest 2 are in parkway boosters and the younger two are in Britax Marathons. The Britax name carries HIGH standards in safety. They are an excellent seat. When my oldest started out in an infant seat he cried constantly in the car- once he made it to the Britax Marathon he has not EVER cried in his seat again. My sister in law has other seats and they are so much poorer made- the straps twist and they just do not hold up structurally at all. They look really ratty after just a few uses and do not hold up during washes. I have washed my Britax Marathon covers several times and they come out clean as new. The Britax seat is also super easy to install- especially using the tethers. The tethers offer a rock solid carseat install. When our seats are installed I can not even budge one using all my weight to try and move it. I am definately a Britax mom- that...
