i need to get three across in the 3rd row. we have guardianship of a relative's baby for awhile and need to get 5 seats in our suburban (for at least a couple months it looks like).
the seats i have are:
radian xtsl
myride
myride
como
prosport
young sport
avenue
snugride 30
my oldest (tall skinny 6 year old) only fits in the prosport. the middle three (5 years ~ 40lbs dressed, 2.5 year old twins ~ 30lbs dressed) can fit in the myrides and como. the twins can fit in any of the seats ff (except the snugride of course) and the myrides and radian rf.
right now we have the seats as they are in my sig pic, plus the baby in the snugride without the base in the flip up middle row seat. it is not working. the seat doesn't flip very well and the seatbelt doesn't retract very well. plus i can't get to the third row at all to help the kids back there if they need it (and they do).
the outboard seats in the third row have tether anchors OR the middle seat, but not all 3. all 3 seats in the middle row have tether anchors.
i'm going out to try this afternoon and here's what i'm thinking:
driver passenger
rf myride rf myride
prosport snugride30 ffxtsl
that is IF the prosport, snugride, and xtsl fit 3 across there AND i can pass the snugride past the xtsl.
if that doesn't work all i can come up with is this (i'm pretty sure these would all fit):
driver passenger
prosport snugride30
ffmyride ffxtsl ffmyride
that would leave the xtsl untethered and have the two year olds ff in the third row. :-/
any other suggestions? i would be willing to buy another seat if it would make a big difference.
