Hi everyone! I have an almost 4 month old baby, and we are just starting to shop around for a convertible car seat, although she'll likely stay in her infant seat for a while still. As part of that search I've been thinking about car seat placement, and how that will play into which seat I wind up buying.
I also have a 14 year old and an 11 year old who are both out of boosters now. We have a 2008 Town & Country with middle row captains chairs (not a bench seat). Currently baby sits behind the driver, and the older kids get in and out of the passenger side, 11 year old sits in the 3rd row and 14 year old sits in the middle row. This arrangement works great. However, we are thinking of having another baby when current baby is probably 2 years old, so she would likely still be rear facing. Do you think we'll just have to put current baby in the 3rd row? I'm thinking there is no way that the older kids will be able to climb around any rear facing seats in the middle row. BUT the 3rd row is pretty cramped, does anyone know if a rear facing seat would even fit back there???
Thanks,
Penny (who is completely overwhelmed by the process of picking out a convertible car seat)
