(My other thread is more time sensitive, so check that one first, please!)
6 yo will soon outgrow the marathon. I'm fine with her in a booster. My 8 year old has some time left before the radian is outgrown. He is NOT fine in a booster in the van, surrounded by siblings. I'm kinda wishing that I had kept one of those cheap frontiers I've had. Next time, maybe I will. For now, it's not in the equation. I went through trouble to get the radian rear-facing at a good angle for ds2. I want him rfing and the only seat we have for him is the radian. (We have two.) My dd1 and dd2 insist on being in their parkways, but if need be and it's safe to do so, I am willing to move them to nothing or even backless boosters. Dd3 is small and can fit in any rfing seat. Dd3's marathon expires soon as well.
Here are my seats:
radian 1- for ds1
radian 2- rfing for ds2
classic marathon
true fit premier
3 old style parkways
vivo
2 literiders
bodyguard
My 10 and 11 yos fit the seatbelt the same. I do have adjustable headrests in all locations. Here's dd on either side of the third row. What do you think?
The middle belt is currently non-functional, but the shoulder belt is not height adjustable like the side ones, so I don't think it'll work well anyway. The back is very tight. I will not put my 2 or 4 yos in the third row. I've been there, done that and will not do it again.
