Where would you seat them? My ds's 2 friends/neighbors are staying with us for a few days while their parents are away. They are 8 and almost 11. My 3 younger kids are all still in seats. My oldest doesn't use a booster anymore, hasn't for several months now. I had to take them all somewhere yesterday, and did what seemed best, but I wanted to check here to see if there was a better way. My oldest ds the tallest, at almost 11 years old, but he only weighs about 65-70lbs. I'm not sure how tall exactly he is now, but he comes up to my chin, so about 4'10, I guess. I put him in the front seat next to me in a backless booster and moved his seat as far back as possible w/ baby sister's rf seat behind him. Ds2 and ds3 rode in their regular seats, and the neighbor boys sat in the rear bench w/ just seat belts. I don't have any extra boosters for them, and their parents got rid of theirs as soon as they hit 8 (law here.) They are both tiny and should still be in boosters, but I did the best I could, I think. They are about the same height, not much taller than my 6 year old, who is short for his age.
I wasn't planning on having to take them all somewhere, but my dh couldn't leave work to take ds1 to Hebrew school. I don't think it's going to come up again, but just in case, what do you think?
Btw, I checked to make sure, and the airbag wasn't on. I could tell b/c the seatbelt light flashes if someone is sitting there when I start the car if they don't have the seatbelt light on. It didn't come on when I had him unbuckle then rebuckle so I could check. I'm not sure how much I trust that, but it did make me feel a little better.
