A booster for the middle backseat?
I drive a '99 Toyota Sienna van. My 4 children take up 4 out of the 5 seats in my vehicle (not counting the front seats of course). I frequently transport my oldest's friend (not needing a car seat) but am squeamish about placing her in the middle of the back seat of my van (which has only a lap belt). Instead, I would like to purchase a 5 pt harness booster for my 3 year old to place in the middle back (she's only 32 pounds). I purchased and tried the Century NextStep, but couldn't seem to tighten it well (the seat portion wanted to slide forward). I don't have a LATCH equipped vehicle, and also seem unable to use a tether. Also, my Toyota dealer refused to put a shoulder belt in the middle back. Any ideas, are we doing something wrong, or do you have a seat to recommend? Thanks!
