We are getting a 2010 Suburban or Yukon XL in the next week or two. We are going to keep our van so we'll have 2 vehicles that the kids can fit in.
Right now we have an 02 Venture. Kids stats and seats in the van are:
Ds1 10y7m, 54", 63#, Parkway
Ds2 9y7m, 53", 60#, Parkway
Dd1 6y9m, 48", 51#, FR85 harnessed, 2 slots left to go
Dd2, 4y3m, 39", 32#, RF marathon 65, 1-1.5" and 2-3#s to go
Ds3, 20mon, 32", 23#s, RF BV70
I also have a FR80, dd1 is almost to the top slot.
I have 2 backless boosters as well.
Ds1 will go in a backless in the new car - he will be center row and that seat tumbles for rear access and a hb will be a pain. There will be side curtain airbags, so I'm fine with this.
I'm torn on turning dd2. She did ride ffing for 2 weeks right after turning 4 - then she begged to go back rfing. She doesn't seem to care either way - but has been asking to turn around. Ds3 will rf for at least 2 more years.
So if I let ds1 ride in a backless in both vehicles and give ds2 parkways for both vehicles(he wants a hb), what seats do I get?
Boosters for dd1 for both? Booster for one, keep in Frontier in another? Give dd2 both Frontiers and give baby her ma in the van, putting his bv70 in the new car?
Splurge on a TWE for dd1 in the new car and get her a MR for the van, passing her ma on to baby for the van? And then giving dd1 both Frontiers, using one as a booster w/sg when she outgrows it harnessed?
Any input or ideas? Cheap is good, but I don't mind buying seats And it has been awhile lol
Thanks!!
