I am pregnant with our third and when this baby gets here the older two will still be in car seats. The three year old currently rides rear facing in his Evenflo Triumph Advance, the five year old rides forward facing in his Graco Nautalis, still harnessed. I have three top tethers but one is in the middle of the back row, not the best/easiest place to get to but there is not another top tether in the back.
I had planned to take out one captains chair and put both older boys in the back that way I could get to them easier and out the baby's infant seat in the remaining captains chair...but that won't work since there is only one top tether. The five year old still doesn't know how to buckle himself in his seat with the harness.
This lack of top tethers sure does make it hard for me to decide where to place each of the kids. Anyone have any experience putting three seats in an Uplander without having to go through and obstacle course to get the one in the back buckled up? Do I have the option of having at least one (possibly) two top tethers installed?
