Our friends will be watching our kids next weekend and they have a 2008 or 2009 Grand Caravan, would one of our seats be better (easier to install) than the other one or it won't matter? The seat will be installed ff.

What seating position in the van? if 3rd row and 3 across isn't an issue, TF!

Radian is good on captains chairs, INCOMPATIBLE 3rd row center, and a super PITA outboard (and no TT outboard)

TF is great FF 2nd row as well.... When in doubt, TF!!!

Thanks! I'll take the TF, that is what is in our van right now anyway. They will be maxed out, so 3 across is an issue, but I'm guessing they will want the car seat in the captain's chair anyway. She is usually rf but at past 3 1/2 and 28ish# I'm OK with her ff for the weekend to make it easier for them to get 6 kids in and out of their van (2 of the kids are 15 so no problem with front seat). If they go anywhere with both adults and all the kids, they will have to take 2 vehicles. Do we have terrific friends or what? They insisted on taking all 4 kids so dh and I can have an overnight without kids for the first time in over 7 years.
