swtgi1982 · Jan 9, 2010

I know not recommended, but I will have my three and by brothers three for the day. His three 4.5yr 47lbs, 2.75yr, two days shy of one yr. I have all the seats listed in siggy available plus a touriva, cosco Hbb with harness, snug ride, and turbo booster. plaease help! I know not ideal but i must make it work for one day! Ideally all RF except 4.5yr old.

triple bench in back and double in center. someone is gonna have to ride up front. (i know i know not good but must do) I was thinking 4.5yr old in DD complete air FF

van is 01 dodge caravan, tether anchor in all rear spots. no shoulder belt in rear center but all other locations

four year old regularly rides in booster so no issues there

any other ideas? please help must figure this tonight!

I'd bet you can get the touriva, snugride and scenera in your 3rd row.

Your choice for whoever rides in whatever in the 2nd row.

Edited because I misread the first time.

bump need suggestions about to go and freeze my a** off and try this, I would like more then one game plan if already suggested does not work.

You could try:

Touriva, snugride, Scenera

or

Snugride, Touriva, Scenera

or

Cosco HBB, Touriva, Scenera

or

Snugride, Touriva, Cosco HBB

I am 99% sure your Touriva is the narrowest seat you have, followed by the Snugride, but I am not sure about the Cosco HBB vs the Scenera - and they may puzzle differently too which could create more room even if one is a little wider.

You just need to play with those 4 seats to get them to fit

Make sure they are installed independently of each other, and not relying on each other for tightness.

Okay... this is what I'd do

middle bench - rf scenera and snugride
third row bench - CA (your oldest still in her own seat where she normally is), touriva rf, and scenera rf (assuming this all fits... if someone HAS to be ff, I'd turn your oldest because the other two are significantly younger)
front passenger seat - 4.5yr old in cosco hbb with harness

Now, if the 4.5yr old doesn't fit the cosco hbb with harness due to height or weight, then I'd put your oldest in the cosco hbb (again, assuming child fits) OR the 2.75yr old if neither oldest fits, and put the 4.5yr old in the Complete Air.

That's what I'd do.
