[Highland Park] Spending money for teen/middle schooler
by Alison Bogle 02 Aug '07

02 Aug '07

Hi Neighbors, My husband and I have some odd jobs around the yard to do - weeding, moving mulch, etc. - and no time to do them. The jobs are just random enough that it doesn't make sense to hire a yard company, but they would be perfect for a middle schooler or teen that is looking for a little extra spending money. If you know anyone that fits that description and doesn't mind working outside in the yard for a couple of days, we'd love to talk to them! Our number is 412-404-8628. 6012 Bryant Street. Thanks! Alison & Scott Bogle _________________________________________________________________ Learn.Laugh.Share. Reallivemoms is right place! http://www.reallivemoms.com?ocid=TXT_TAGHM&loc=us

The Roundabout has been praised by just about every consumer safety organization and mom and dad out there and for good reason. It is easy to install, compatible in just about every car, super comfortable for baby, stylish and most importantly safe! The functionality of the Roundabout is just about the best on the market. You can't go wrong with innovative features such as Velcro anti-tangle belt and shield holders, one-pull harness tightening, five-Point polyester harness with three adjustable shoulder heights, and a versatile contour base. Features: * Britax Patented Versa-TetherT secures the seat from tilting forward or backward in the event of an impact in both the forward and rear facing positions. * Built-In Locking Clips which are easy to reach, operate, and impossible to loosen. * One Pull Harness Strap Adjuster for quick, easy, and snug fit every time. * Anti-tangle Belt Holder. * Five-Point Harness with three adjustable shoulder heights for a secure fit as your child grows. * Special EPS impact foam cradles head and torso for a safer, more comfortable ride. * Britax Contour Base allows for secure fit in most vehicles. * Approved for use in aircraft. Manufactured - Price: (This is a PARTIAL list so please email for complete list). 10/01 - $95 (Cover - "DENIM"). 04/03 - $150** (Cover - "CASCADE"; Soft Golden Tan Fabric w Subtle Pattern). **This Roundabout is Latch Compatible! 12/03 - $195** (Cover - "BIG CAT"; Soft Leopard Fabric (Rare, Discontinued, Very Hard-to-Find Style). **This Roundabout is Latch Compatible! 01/04 - $215** NEW/Never Used (Cover - "BIG CAT"; Soft Leopard Fabric (Rare, Discontinued, Very Hard-to-Find Style). **NEW/NEVER USED.

This Roundabout is Latch Compatible! NOTE: If you would like to exchange the Britax Roundabout cover for either a gently used Britax TOP CAT or BIG CAT cover, which are rare, discontinued, and very hard-to-find styles, just add $40 (NOT Sold Separately). _____ Britax Advantage Convertible Car Seat (Retailed $259.99, Now Discontinued) As the "big" sister of the Britax Roundabout Car Seat, the Britax Advantage is a great convertible seat for those looking for even more convenience features. Many moms out there have described the Britax Advantage as "a Roundabout on steroids". It has all of the comfort and safety features of the Britax Roundabout but Britax engineers have added a few features that some parents can't live without. Built on a Britax Roundabout frame, the Britax Advantage Car Seat sets itself apart with the addition of a height adjustment knob and a seat recline mechanism. Whereas the Roundabout has three shoulder harness height adjustments, the Britax Advantage sports an ingenious variable height adjustment knob that allows you to easily adjust the five-point harness to an unlimited number of positions even when the seat is installed in your car. The seat literally grows with your child up to 40 lbs. and you no longer have to rethread the harness straps each time you readjust. In addition, the seat back reclines to put your child in the most comfortable position possible. Manufactured - Price 09/01 - $115 (Cover - "MARINA"; Dark Blue Velvet Like Fabric). 02/03 - $135 (Cover - "MARINA"; Dark Blue Velvet Like Fabric); this in very nice condition but no longer goes into the recline position. _____ NEW/Never Used 2004 Britax *COLONIAL BLUE* Marathon Convertible Car Seat (LATCH Model in EXCELLENT/NEW Condition) This 2004 Britax COLONIAL BLUE Marathon Convertible Car Seat is NEW and has never been used; comes from a smoke-free home and car. Please Note: The COLONIAL BLUE cover does have a small 1/2" (or less) cut on the top, near the Tether bag (not noticeable, but I wanted to mention it). _____ The Marathon is a convertible child seat. Rear facing, it fits Infants to Toddlers from 5 to 33 pounds and forward facing for children at least one year old from 20 to 65 pounds. Product Features: * The Five-Point Polyester Harness, with strong no-tangle polyester webbing, fits snugly over the child's shoulders, collarbone and hips providing a more secure fit as your child grows. Versa-TetherT is patented by Britax, for the most security in both forward and rear facing installations. * The Marathon now has modified EPS (Expanded PolyStyrene) foam insert to increase available shoulder width room. The Marathon already offers the widest width for any harnessed childseat up to 65 lbs. and the new optional insert will increase the shoulder room by another 1.5 inches. * The Patented "Floating" HUGS System is designed to better distribute webbing loads to reduce head movement and minimize the chance for webbing edge loading on the child's neck in the case of an impact. In addition, it is designed to reduce the chance of improper positioning of the chest clip. * Built in Lock-Offs, both forward facing and rear facing, are designed for easy reach and operation when using traditional belt routing. * Four different shoulder harness positions will accommodate the taller child and the newly designed base allows for a more secure fit in most autos. * * Use vehicle seat belt (not LATCH connectors) for installations with children weighing more than 48 pounds (21 kg.). Refer to the vehicle's owner's manual for the maximum weight rating for their LATCH anchors. * MSRP $279.99 * Removable, washable fabric cover. * Marathon is approved for Aircraft Use. This child restraint system conforms to all applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Standards. Price: $210 _____ Note: If you are interested in a Second Britax Marathon, I have a (EUC) 2004 HOUNDSTOOTH Marathon for $200, a hard to find 2003 (EUC) blue FAUX PAWS Marathon for $200, and other Britax Convertible Car Seats (Roundabout or Advantage) available.
