Let me give you the scenario of getting everyone into the car:
(We drive a GMC Yukon XL with captain seats in the 2nd row and an aisle down the middle.)
-My oldest 2 have to get on their hands and knees to crawl under the rfing car seats to get to the back where they sit.
-My ds (4) is in a Graco Nautilus and can buckle himself but has trouble keeping the straps from tangling. Also, depending on what he is wearing the straps are sometime too tight or too loose and he doesn't know how to fix that. He cannot unbuckle himself so his sister has to do it every time.
-My dd (almost 6) is in a Graco Turbobooster.
-It is difficult to put my younger dd (27 months) into her seat because I have to lift her over the side and her legs get all in the way when I get her in there. Her legs go way up the back of the seat. She also cannot see any movie that we put in the dvd player for the kids. I don't think she minds rfing too much though cause she can see the older 2 kids in the back.
Basically, I feel like it would be a whole lot easier to have my ds in a booster seat and have my 2 year old ffing. Would this be dangerous? What would you do in this situation?
Here are my kids' heights and weights:
Olivia - 6 (in August) 48" & 48lbs
Austin - 4yr. 43" & 40lbs
Abigail - 2yr. 33" & 24lbs
Owen - 2 months 24" & 13lbs. 12oz.
