The clicktight is extremely compact, the regular a little less so. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/britax-marathon-convertible-car-seat-black-friday#post-2657172 Fri, 25 Nov 2016 14:24:47 +0000 bees_knees 2657172@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the Britax Advocate. I *think* it's about the same size, just wider than the marathon. We LOVE it. Just ordered another one for DS2 :) I drive a Chevy Equinox and there is plenty of room to have it rear facing behind my 6'1 husband. And the Clicktight install is awesome. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/britax-marathon-convertible-car-seat-black-friday#post-2657144 Fri, 25 Nov 2016 11:04:28 +0000 catgirl 2657144@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@DesertDreams88: diapers.com has one color for $176 right now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/britax-marathon-convertible-car-seat-black-friday#post-2657142 Fri, 25 Nov 2016 10:39:04 +0000 DesertDreams88 2657142@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I should have bought the Graco Extend2Fit when it was on sale yesterday morning... wah wah wah :crying: I thought the deal would last longer.

If you have it, do you like it? Does it eat up a lot of leg room in the front passenger seat? Hubs and I are both tall, and I drive a small SUV.</p> <p>Thanks! Anyone looking at buying another car seat on sale? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/black-friday-baby-deals#post-2656616 Wed, 23 Nov 2016 14:12:15 +0000 IRunForFun 2656616@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just saw this on Thrifty Littles: <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Diono-Rainier-Convertible-Midnight-Black/dp/B01CL9GD62/ref=as_li_ss_tl?s=baby-products&#038;ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1479925743&#038;sr=1-1-spons&#038;keywords=diono+rainier+midnight+black&#038;th=1&#038;linkCode=ll1&#038;tag=thriflittl-20&#038;linkId=7468118ab00f1ed621c2d223c86e5800" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/Diono-Rainier-Convertible-Midnight-Black/dp/B01CL9GD62/ref=as_li_ss_tl?s=baby-products&#038;ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1479925743&#038;sr=1-1-spons&#038;keywords=diono+rainier+midnight+black&#038;th=1&#038;linkCode=ll1&#038;tag=thriflittl-20&#038;linkId=7468118ab00f1ed621c2d223c86e5800</a></p> <p>Diono Rainier in 2 colors for 40% off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/black-friday-baby-deals#post-2656603 Wed, 23 Nov 2016 13:45:58 +0000 Canoli 2656603@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just remembered another one.

I actually foolishly thought I could stop in really quickly on my way home from work before picking up LO and realized there was no chance. Luckily they held my stuff and I came back later that evening to pay. At that point I waited about 40 minutes in line, guessing the line was more like an hour long when I first got there at the very start of the new parent presale. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-just-between-friends-sale-seattle-event-is-april-19-21#post-704353 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 08:17:17 +0000 Alivoo01 704353@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've gone to one, but if you want to get the good stuff, you have to be a volunteer or pay to go in before the pre-sale even starts!. I went the moment the doors opened for 1st time parents (which is on day 1 but like 3 hours after the Volunteer sale begins), and by the time I got there, people were already leaving with car loads!! The selection is large, especially clothes. Gear - you'll have to go super early!</p> <p>I'm in North Texas if that makes a difference. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-just-between-friends-sale-seattle-event-is-april-19-21#post-704210 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 06:47:08 +0000 T.H.O.U. 704210@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sunny: That stinks, maybe you just hit it on the wrong day. </p> <p>Here is the schedule for ours: </p> <p>Wednesday - Volunteers and Consigners shop in the evening before the general public. A lot of the good gear and big toys go this first night. There is usually a selection of newer quality items at good prices (50-70% off retail). Stuff is the most organized because it just opened up but lines are often long. No way I will take my kid. </p> <p>Thursday - General public - Still a good selection, pretty organized. May be able to find a small selection of gear to choose from. Still a very good selection of toys, books, clothes. Wouldn't be that big of a deal to take your kid. </p> <p>Friday/Saturday - General Public - Selection gets really low (especially by Saturday morning). The good stuff (high quality/low price) is gone. Stuff gets unorganized as kids and consignors throw stuff around. </p> <p>Sunday - Half price sale. Hardly any toys/gear left, lots of clothes left. This is when I really try to find just any good deals but I'm not really shopping for anything specific. Very messy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-just-between-friends-sale-seattle-event-is-april-19-21#post-704134 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 01:41:17 +0000 sunny 704134@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went to the Issaquah one and didn't love it. There were tons of toys and clothes and not that much gear (or maybe it had all sold out?)</p> <p>The condition of toys ranged from well used (and dirty) to gently used. I guess I was expecting it to be mostly gently used and more organized. I think the organizers had maybe originally grouped similar toys together but by the time I went, toys were everywhere including tons on the floor. We weren't looking for clothes so I just peeked at the giant rack in my LOs size and didn't pick out anything.</p> <p>I only managed to find 2 toys to take home. I really wanted a jumperoo but there were only 2 and they didn't look like they were in great condition. Perhaps I am not cut out for consignment shopping! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-just-between-friends-sale-seattle-event-is-april-19-21#post-704100 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 00:20:17 +0000 MaisyMay 704100@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sandy: You just can't take strollers in at the pre-sales. During regular shopping hours it's okay. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-just-between-friends-sale-seattle-event-is-april-19-21#post-704086 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 23:45:58 +0000 Running Elley 704086@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sandy: I was pregnant with my first but I don't think it'd be a problem to take a LO with you!

No joke. I hear that was a fluke, but no way in hell would I go back with a baby. That was bad enough while pregnant. I stick to smaller sales now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-just-between-friends-sale-seattle-event-is-april-19-21#post-703749 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 19:56:18 +0000 T.H.O.U. 703749@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@wheres_c: I agree. The good gear goes at the previews. (best quality with lowest prices because each consignor sets their own prices. So bumbo seats may range from $8-$18. There is usually always plenty of clothes especially in small sizes so that is best to wait for the half price sale. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-just-between-friends-sale-seattle-event-is-april-19-21#post-703703 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 19:39:40 +0000 mamabolt 703703@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went to a Philly area one a few weeks ago and it was fantastic! Go as early as you can - I did the first time parent presale and there was so much good stuff - I got LO's entire summer wardrobe for $80. Tons of clothes on racks by size/gender so they were easier to go through, and so much gear and toys as well. </p>
