We have a 2005 Odyssey and 3 kids. Right now we have 7 year old DS in a TB in the passenger side 3rd row, middle DS almost 6 harnessed in a Nati, driver side 2nd row and youngest DD 15 months RF in Roundabout seat 2nd row slid to the middle, so RIGHT next to middle child. Well middle child and little one are FIGHTING all the time. She hits my DS with her books and pulls on his seat all the time, it is getting bad and worse because her arms are getting longer, she even hits him the harness puller strap, so I have tuck it in everytime I put her in, it is actually kind of humerous that a 15 mos old can bug her brother so bad!!

Anyway, something has to give, what should I do? Put middle DS in the 3rd row with older DS, I kind of like using that driver side seat as the fold down, since sometimes we have lots of stuff to haul. Or should I move DD's van seat to the passenger side, so basically she would not be in the middle anymore or flip flop her and DS, so she is behind me, but I don't think I would like that because then I could not pass her stuff or see her at all. I really don't want to change things, but I also can't live with the distractions it is causing right now either. I saw on here all the options for tethering DD's seat RF, so hopefully that won't be an issue. Thanks for the help!

I play musical seats non-stop in my 05 oddy - but my culprit is my 7.5 year old DS :rolleyes:. What if you put her behind the driver's seat, then slide the passenger seat back to beside the door and put your middle child there? That's where my DD is, who is rfng in a marathon. I have "dropped" her blankie and soft toys to her without a problem at stop lights.

It may just take some trial-and-error with where their seats are. My husband just rolls his eyes when I say that I've re-arranged! LOL :p

Good luck!
