I am driving 45-50 minutes each way on unfamiliar, winding, country roads tomorrow. It's also supposed to rain. I am driving a Prius, not sure of the year. I'll have all 3 of my girls with me.
The only seats I have with me are two Harmony backless and an Avenue. A three across with those seats in that car does not work. Neither does using the Avenue, a booster, and an unboostered kid (both older girls need booty space ) So, my options are to either let my 9yo and 11yo ride without their boosters on either side of the rfing Avenue or to put the Avenue outboard and the 9yo in a booster outboard and stick the 11yo in the front with the seat pushed all the way back. Either boostered or not.
I need to double check the outboard belt fit on the girls, but I KNOW the middle is a horrible fit. The lap belt was super high across dd's stomach and the shoulder belt cut into her neck. Outboard was definitely better, but I'm not sure how much better.
I know the situation is not ideal, but it is what it is. I just want the girls to be as safe as possible within the confines of what I have to work with.
