The toddler seat comes off the hinges all the time. So annoying, is that normal? any suggestions? Or a suggestion for a better seat?

It does come off easily but since we only use it when the grandbabies are here it hasn't been much of an annoyance. The two year old still prefers her potty seat but the 4 year old loves it!

Mine has the same issue...haven't found a solution other than to teach the kid how to deal with it. It is such a pain!

I have never experienced this issue and I have two of these seats! Hopefully someone else has some suggestions for you.

Made by Bemis, called the Harmony, and sold at the Home Depot. It looks the same but is self closing. Costs a bit more.

I have th same issue. This is my only issue tho. I think as long as it doesn't slide around while my babies sit on it then I can live with resetting it. Shy of using duct tape, not sure anything can be done. I think the company should create a tighter or permanent fit.... and recall the loose ones to be exchanged for a better fit at no cost. Because the toddler seat is recessed in the Ltd there is really no reason for it to be removable.

I don't think this is normal. My 3 year old daughter loves this and rides it all over both attached to the stroller and free. On ours the handle fits so tight it is difficult to remove. I would return and get a replacement.

I wish i could help.. I have not seen that issue on my son. Is it too big/long for your 16mth old? Make sure its completely filled iwth air, and make sure the strap underneath is secure and not loose. That could help. :) Good Luck

I agree with the other answer. Pulling it out straight works best for us. We actually figured out we didn't have to loosen it to get our daughter out, so we've just avoided the issue you're talking about by not loosening them each time. I think it is because there is more space on the sides than a traditional convertible car seat.

Thanks for your reply. I bought the Boulevard end of June and started using the carseat beginning of July. I love it! My daughter is 9 mos now, 28.5 in. and 20 lbs. She does very well in the seat and her head does not tilt forward when she sleeps like it always did in her Graco Snugride (which I also liked, except for the head dangle). I'm also not sure if her head will tilt forward once I turn her forward facing. I will try to keep her rear facing as long as possible.

It is very tricky to adjust this seat. (before I start, make sure to check the manufacturers instructions, they are the tested way of doing this). My first recommendation is get it "close" to the correct tightness without your kid in the seat, then buckle your kid into the seat. When tightening, try pulling the tightening strap down then up - I have to pull quite hard. That may help. Otherwise return it like I did - it is not a good design in my opinion.

It actually is the car seat as I also have the same problem.... :( We have another car seat in our other vehicle which does not have this issue.

They way my son is "designed" the potty hole is not big enough for his parts to fit in and contain the urine. I have to help him aim down. My husband finds it annoying, but I like all of the other features so much, it doesn't bother me. If it were our everyday, regular potty it would be annoying. My son is 2 1/2 and 30 lbs for a reference.

The legs come off, so it's just the little 'cage' part :). We didn't end up doing that - my 3 year old was too rough with it (the baby was fine :)) and we had a friend that needed it anyway so we passed it on. hope this helps!

I bought this stroller a month ago and loved mostly everything about it, but came back on to see if anyone is also seeing that their toddler needs to lean forward or slouch a little when there is a carseat installed in front. My toddler needs to bend her head forward a little when the carseat is installed.

My seat was purchased in November 2013. I find the chest latch EXTREMELY tight and difficult to unlatch. I also find the strap you pull to tighten the entire harness very hard to get tight enough. These are the only negatives to the seat, but I wouldn't buy it again knowing what I know now. On the other hand, I bought this model because my daughter already had one (for the same child) and she recommended it.

2 things. 1. Make sure the front metal frame that it clicks on to, is slid all the way out. It telescopes in for storage. If it's not fully extended they won't both "click." Also, sometimes when we put the carseat down, we have to rock it back and forth side to side a few times for it to click. Overall, this is probably the best purchase we made for the twins of anything :)

This might sound obvious, but have you tried reclining it a bit more? Also you may have the shoulder traps slightly too high, they should be at or slightly below his shoulders. This has never been a problem for either of my sons, I hope you get it figured out and end up loving your Pavilion as much as we do! Good luck!

Hi Deirdre, No one has commented about the seat being too small, and I usually have 2-3 over 250 lb. people here for cards a month. However, my toilet seat has come loose and I don't know how to tighten it. I am going to try to contact American Standard tomorrow to see if they can answer. Otherwise, I really like this toilet. Super easy to keep clean, inside and out.Hope this helps, Sharon

I have a 5 year old who sits nicely in it, but I always keep an eye out because he likes to sit high and I don't want him to fall off. Smaller kids I wouldn't but they do grow up.

I haven't had this same exact experience, but I have had a similar issue. When slow-closing the toilet lid, the child seat will detach from the magnet and drop before the lid closes, making a banging noise. Happens about 80% of the time.

I'm wondering about this as well...seems like it would have this issue. I just got one but am concerned about using it until my 4 month old can roll in all directions and right himself if need be.
