in the van that is.
DS1 (10.5yo) call him T & DS3 (3.5yo) call him J sit in the 2nd row capt chairs. T BUGS the daylights out of his brother J by touching his head. i dont' know why. it somthing he does ALOT even outside the car. I continually have to tell him to stop cause poor J gets annoyed, cries & throws fists at his brother. i basically don't blame him for fighting back. it bothers me in the car cause when J cries out I KNOW his brother touched him. he even wakes him up like that & the lil guy becomes instantly cranky. makes for an unhappy ride....
i know T needs some discipline but seriously if i can find one instance that i don't have to continually discipline i'd be thrilled
so i'm considering moving T away from him. HOWEVER it would mean that T has a less safe position. i'd have to put him in the 3rd row w/out a NBB since a NBB puts the shoulder belt on his shoulder. he doesn't fit the monterey & honestly i shouldn't have to buy a frontier to make this work. PLus this change of positions is inevitable when DS2 (9.5yo) "P" will liekly outgrow the monterey himself in another 6months.
this is DS1 fit in the 3rd row a few months ago. the fit is OK i think but much better in the 2nd row with & w/out a NBB.
i REALLY REALLY REALLY need my J to be in the 2nd row. i'm a SAHM with him this school year & he comes with me often. i don't want to climb all the way in the back to get him in & out. it will ruin his napping & my back if i have to take him out of his seat back there.
so my question is it worth tossing T in the 3rd row & moving up one of the other kids to the 2nd row?. i'm hoping if i put my older 2 together 3rd row it would solve some of the turning around & leaning forward in the seats so they can talk/play.
