Okay, so the time is drawing near, and I need to decide how I want to arrange the car seats when the baby arrives. I have a 2008 Kia Sedona. Here is my dilemma. I originally planned to put the infant carrier in the captain's chair behind the driver, remove the other captain's chair, put one big kiddo on one side of the back bench and one big kiddo on the other side of the back bench. Both are forward facing. 2 year old in a Marathon, and 4 year old in a Radian. I'm not interested in turning 2 year old back rear facing as she gets motion sickness. However, here's the problem. The only tether anchors on the back bench are passenger and center. One time when I had friends riding with us, I did install their seats in those two spots. It is extremely difficult to get them both in correctly (and now I am contending with the preggo belly), and they are way TOO close as far as being able to annoy each other goes. So, what would you do?
1) Put baby and one kid in captain's chairs and one kid in back. Climb over the captain's chairs like a crazy person to buckle the one in the back.
2) Put baby in one captain's chair and remove other one. Put the kiddos on passenger side and in center of back and ignore the fighting.
3) Stick with original plan. Baby in one captain's chair and remove other one. Marathon on passenger's side with tether, and Radian on driver's side without tether (I've read that it performs well without the tether).
4) Something I haven't thought of.
