If I was starting fresh, what would tell me to get?
I drive a '99 Suburban and that means lap belts only in the center positions. 6 kids. 3 or 4 in car seats.
12 and 11 year old are fine without car seats. 9 year old is fine in the 3rd row but I'd prefer him in something because he's such a skinny little fart. The catch there is that any booster put him over the seats headrests.
9 year old - maybe 45-50 lbs, small for his age, but not ridiculously small
6 year old - 40lbs, 15" torso
3 years 10 months old - 35 lbs
2 years 4 months - 25 lbs
Dh drives an 05? GMC envoy. The two little kids ride with him daily, occasionally the 6 year old.
How would you position the kids and in which seats in the suburban, and what seats for dh's car?
