I have a trailblazer 02 (I beileve). I recently had to change my carseats around b/c my 3 year goes to preschool (so his seat needs to be on the side that the teachers can get him out of the car). I had my 1 year old RF in the front and my other two kids (2 year old RF and 3 year FF) in the back seats.

So now my 3 year old is FF in the middle seats and I have both RF in the back. My problem is it is really hard to get both of them in and out of their seats b/c they are rear facing. I was thinking about turning my 2 year old around. She is 30 pounds and 37 in tall. Here are some pics to help. Would you FF face her or not? My 1 year old is staying RF no matter what. The first pic is our vehicle you can see my 3 year old seat and then the back of the other seats. The 2nd is my two that are rear facing.

Forgot to mention I do have a 10 year old step son that sits up front with the 3 year old also.

I have an 06 Envoy xl and its very very similar to the trailblazer. From your pictures it looks like the same car :twocents:. If you look at my albums Ive had numerous seats in different spots in my car. It might give you a few placement and seat ideas :D

Can you load the two younger ones from the back of the vehicle (think trunk space), I have my 3 littles rf in the third row and just load them over the back from the hatch. It may look funny but it sounds like you might be loading from the front over the seats and well that's pretty difficult. I too would look into a different option rather than turn a 2 year old FF.

here's another option... you could put one of the rearfacing kids (your choice, whichever will make life easier... probably baby)) in the 2nd row with the 3yr old... then fold down half of the back row (I see the split in your picture) and that way, you can let your 2yr old climb in through the back, get in her seat, and you can get her buckled from the side that is folded and/or bending over the vehicle seat and then just move when you need to accomodate your 10yr old or have your 10yr old go in the third row in the other seat (obviously, unfolded)

but I would definitely keep them rearfacing.
