Another "Who Goes Where?"

Situation: My friend and her MIL are going to the library this afternoon with 5 kiddos (her two kids, nephews and niece), and the follwowing seats.

DNe1: 7yo, LBB (not sure which one)
DNe2: 6yo, LBB
DNi: 3yo, FF, Truefit
DS: 3yo, FF, EFTA
DD: 5yo, GN-harness

They are driving a Honda Oddesey with captain chairs in the middle row.
Headrests and l/s for everyone in the third row.

MIL is pretty thin, and can squeeze between seats if needed.

What would be the best configuration for a one time, just today trip?

I told her I would ask over here and get back to her soon.

TIA!

I'd try the nautilus, efta, then true fit in the middle of the third row with backless boosters on the sides. Whichever fits better, put the others in the captain's chairs.

I think the most likely 'puzzle' is the EFTA in the middle of the third row (don't forget the top tether), with a backless booster on either side, and then the Nauti and True Fit in either captain's chair.

The EFTA center back is a no go...the handles on the LBB hit the shell of the carseat and the vehicle armrests.

The LBB are evenflo ones - from KMART according to MIL.

I went over there and we tried the TrueFit in the middle as well and still no good...

are we looking at harness in the front seat type situation?

So my friend's FIL saved the day today, and came out and took the GN and one of the LBB kids in his car, so everyone could go to the library...

Thanks for the ideas, I think that she was very surprised that she couldn't fit everyone in her van, even though she had enough seatbelts.
