Tomorrow SIL, me, her 2-year-old, and my 4 are driving to DH's hometown for a bridal shower. It's 180 miles or so - so a 3ish hour drive? Depending on how the newbie does in the car I guess!!
Our vehicle choices are her '06 Expedition (or '05. something close to that) or my '06 Odyssey.
If we take my vehicle, I'd put her 2-year-old in the 3rd row with my big girls, and booster them in a Literider and a Bubblebum. I'm not sure I love that idea though because it's hard for them to buckle next to each other and on long drives both girls prefer HB boosters.
OR...I could uninstall my kids' seats when we meet her at grandma's, and put them in her car. Right now my 2.5-year-old is in a Nautilus (because I need her to get into her seat herself, I had a c/s on the 11th and can't lift her. Yes I plan to flip her back!) and baby in a Keyfit. Don't know what her son rides in but it's not a big seat (and he is FF).
I really don't feel like uninstalling/re-installing a bunch of seats, but I also don't feel like driving the whole way, either, which makes me want to take her Expedition. How wide is the 2nd row? Could we get a Keyfit, GN, and booster there? We could shift the booster out of the way and put the other 2 kids in the back.
