I am going to have 7 children including mine next week. I have an 8 passenger Toyota Sienna. I know it would not be best practice to have one of the children sit in the front passenger seat but am trying to figure out seating arrangements for while they are here. The best case scenario is that my dh will be available to take at least one if not two of them in his car if I have to go anywhere. I am trying to figure out the best seating positions for everyone (for both the scenarios of having 6 & 7 of the children in my vehicle).
Children:
ODS - 8 years - 52 lbs - currently rides in Jane Indy Plus
Friends ODD - 8 years (rides in a booster)
DD - 6 years - 42 lbs - currently rides in Radian 65
Friends ODS - 5 years (rides in a booster)
YDS - 4 years - 30 lbs - RF in Orbit Toddler Seat
Friends YDD - 3 years (rides FF)
Friends YDS - 18 months (I think he is RF & I would want him RF)
Seats Available:
Jane Indy Plus, Parkway, Parkway SG, Turbobooster NBB,
Marathon, Regent, Radian 65, Orbit Toddler Seat
I could probably also snag a couple of seats from my friends vehicle when her dh drops them off. They have: a Roundabout, FPSV, Compass booster, and either an Evenflo or Cosco booster.
I would like to keep my YDS outboard in his Orbit so I can easily snap his seat on & off the base. My 6 yr old DD could go into a booster if it would make things easier. How would you arrange the seats in this situation?
