A good friend of mine and I ar etalking about me watching her kids when I leave my job. She sok with transporting them, but I need to configure seats!

So, my DD, 3yo- RF center second row in her XTSL.
Her DD RF OB passenger side in XTSL. Shes 2yo.
these two can be switched it doesnt matter. I just have to leave the driver side open so I can flip the seat to get to the thrid row for the boys.

. I can fold over the split seat to make room for a FFing combo for her 5yo (40ish lbs, he's small) and probably a backless( secure comfort something? I dont remember) for the 9yo. I wonder if he would five step in the 3rd row?

Oh, vehicle is an 06 Explorer. I have TT anchor for the 3rd row- if it matters. And I need to get a combo for the 5yo. something that will last a little while, but nothing too expensive. I'm not really familiar with all the new seats lately.

Do you know what the 5yo is in at home? If he fits I would try the Maestro. Then the 9yo in nbb or seatbelt if they 5 step.

I must've edited that out. He is either in a Turbobooster or a Bigkid, cant remember. But I'm not comfy with him in a booster. He's a wiggly little guy and I dont think he would stay put, and in the third row, he's going to be hard to keep an eye on.

I'm pretty sure I've had a Nauti in the 3rd row of my '06 Explorer. I'd probably try a Maestro, though to save a few bucks.

I think there's a good chance the 9 year old will 5-step in the 3rd row if he's close otherwise. The seatbelts in the 3rd row tend to fit better than the 2nd row.
