Built in seat safe?

Canadian 2005 Chevy uplander. Built in seat 2nd row passenger side. The built in works OK but I alway feel bad for that kid as it does not look comfortable, and it is so low they can't see out the window. Twin DD always ends up in there since her brother freaks out most of the time if he isn't in the other seat. The twins are 2.75 years and 30+ pounds. Older DD is 4.75 years and 37 pounds 41.5 inches. The built in seat says 40 pounds and 40 inches. Can DD #1 still use this since she is at least 2 inches below the straps (which can't be adjusted) and way below the top of the seat back? She is the only one who is tall enough to see out the windows in that seat. We can only fit 2 other seats as there is only one tether in the back, and then the 2nd row has 2 seats including the built in. The drivers side 2nd row has latch, but the built in seat doesn't so it is really hard to install a seat there as it make it hard to get into the back seat and buckle the back kid in. Guess I need a new car!
Thanks,
Marcie
