Sorry, Papooses.. it came out on you. But it is a thing with me here. There always seems to be some tech coming behind me to say I am wrong (not that you did that... just, in general), or that my thinking is wrong, or whatever.
Truthfully, if I could actually make enough sense of it and be "that" paranoid, I would make everyone sit in the back, including me! (very hard to do with 7 kids, 2 parents...now having to use 2 vehicles IF we go to the same place as ds would also bring his girlfriend and having to sell the vehicle the 9 of us could travel in very comfy).
But, after KQ's accident... I know it will be what it is. I am comfy with my 14 year old up front... for in town drives... NOT my 11 year old. Still not comfy with my almost 5 stepping 8 year old out of a booster... but I might not have a choice soon. My 5.5 year old is still harnessed... the 4 year old is still rf as is the 2.5 year old. I am trying to do what I can, to make them as safe as I can.
