NOT full time...
Our sitter is having a baby and after the baby comes (in May) all 5 rear seats of her Expedition will be full. Currently she has the three oldest in the third row, (5.5yo, 3yo, and 5yo) one captains chair is empty and my youngest DD rf (2yo in June) on the other captains chair. After the baby comes there won't be a way for her to buckle the 3yo in the third row. I've toyed with the idea of letting her turn DD, she drives a couple miles to pickup the two oldest from school each day and sometimes errands around town. But I'm not sure I'm comfortable with it! I could ask her to move DD to the third row, but that would be pretty difficult to load and buckle...especially early on when she won't be completely back to herself. I've even thought of trying to find a Combi Zeus, so DD's seat could be easily switched rf/ff for loading...but they're so expensive!

Seriously though, I think sitting the bucket in the front seat while loading will work. She's been keeping the girls since I went back to work after DD2, and she's a godsend! I swear she must be super-human, she handles 4 kids like it's a walk in the park. Hands down the best sitter you could ask for and my girls love her like she's a second mom. And she's awesome with car safety, she hasn't even questioned when DD2 can turn FF!
