New Odyssey Where do I put car seats?

Since it is very hot here I don't want to have to move car seats a ton of times so I need some advice on where to put the kids.

Currently we are in a Mazda CX-9. DD1 is FF in a TF, DS is RF in a RN, and DD2 is RF in a SS1. We also have 3 and 4 adults often. A few times a week we have only 2 adults but 6 kids, my 3 plus 3 others, age 10 & 11 (5-step) and 14 months.

Current set up for our family is

D P
SS1 RN A
TF

How should I put my seats in the Odyssey? The only thing I am really set on is keeping DD2 behind the driver. I am thinking of putting DD1 3rd row driver side so an adult can climb into the 3rd row easier. That is our difficulty in the CX-9, climbing over the TF. But if I do that she is on the 60 split instead of the 40 and it leaves less room in the back if I need to fold a seat.

There is LATCH in every spot but 3rd row middle and Tethers in every spot.


HELP!!!

Can DD1 buckle herself? If so, I think you've got the best set up. When you have the 14mo the older two can sit in the rear and the 14mo can go on the other captains chair.

ETA: The Ody has a lot of space for cargo so I doubt you'll need to tumble that seat very often.

Yes, DD1 can buckle herself so that helps. I tried to put DD1 and DS in the back but was not able to get them next to each other and I could not fit between them. I think I might try another arrangement but the TF is just so wide. I would love to keep the 2nd row middle empty so we can use the console when we don't have a full car. But if nothing else works I will have to put DS there.
