Got great info from the plus-one thread and it got me thinking.
Normal seating:
5.5yo: 40lbs., ff in Frontier (3rd row)
3.5yo: 35lbs., ff in Frontier
15mo: 22lbs., rf in Roundabout
We're going on a 4 day cross-country drive, and I want to put them in the middle row to save cargo & have easier access while on the road. Using the plus-one (2010, not 2011), I thought I'd have to switch out the Roundabout for something narrower, so I got a Radian XTSL. Now, the possibilities are hitting me, & I thought I'd ask for advice.
-FR/RN/FR: my original thought. Bulky, but the FRs are comfy. I think the RN would be OK rf. in the +1, but would it be a safer, easier install in a captain's chair?
-FR/RA/RN: baby still in center. Would a RN outboard make center access much easier? It's going to be a challenge to heft the baby into his seat.
-FR/RN/RA: RN ff w/ no tether. 5.5yo could get in there easily & buckle himself, but is it safe enough?
Any other thoughts? TIA
