Road trip with 6 kids in Odyssey
So my friend and I are contemplating a crazy road trip from SoCal to Texas next month. It is not definite yet, but I thought I'd ask on here to see if it would even be possible to fit all 6 kids in my '08 Odyssey with the current car seats we have.
Ages and aprox weight of kids (all girls, not that it matters )
5 - 40lbs very mature for her age, I would feel OK with her in a booster (not my child though)
3.5 (mine) 47lbs
3 - 30lbs
2 (mine) 35lbs
17 months - 25lbs
4 months (mine) - 16lbs
The seats we have are, booster (I believe it is a Turbobooster), Frontier, Radian XTSL, 2 Marathons (1 with 33lb RF limit), Roundabout, Scenera, Chicco KF30, Snugride 22, and I think my friend also has the EB 3 in 1 seat that she doesn't use anymore.
So my inital thought is to have the 5 year old in a booster in the middle row and my baby in the snugride baseless also in the middle row so that we can access the 3rd row easier. Then I thought maybe we could have both the snugride and the keyfit baseless in that row and accomplish the same thing and harness the 5 year old (really I do feel comfortable with her in a booster though).
But then I'm not sure who would fit the best in the 3rd row, I'm thinking the Radian will have to go back there, possibly with the scenera and the roundabout? I would prefer to keep my 2 year old (well she'll almost be 2 on the trip) RF, but I would also be OK with her FF since we only have one seat that she can RF in and it might work better FF.
So any thoughts about configuring this?
