FIL got a new car, so we got his old one (03 Expedition). Yay! DH will drive it to work, and we will leave it for anyone that has to drive the kids while I am working (no one likes loading my van and they pretty much refuse to drive it). They will ride in it a couple of times a week.
After playing with seats this is what we have now:
3rd row:
J and K outboard in literiders (I wanted them in HBTBs but they don't fit), I center in FF Radian
2nd row captains chairs M backless TB and E RF Radian
I am training M to check everyone and so far she is doing a great job.
I wanted M in the 3rd row so J could be up front in a hbb, but with a literider her ears are even with the top of the headrest. So we put her in the 2nd row today and she has about 1/2 inch of headrest above her ears. The headrests are just crazy low. I think I can get a little more time by getting another literider, but I was hoping someone else would have a great idea.
Some things I have thought of but don't want to do unless I have to:
M front seat in backless booster (front seat has tall headrests)
M third row no booster (This is my least favorite option. I haven't even tested her there, but even if she 5 steps she is light and no where near puberty, I want her in a booster)
Does anyone know if Ford has taller headrests available for either back row? That would be the best I think, but I don't know if they can do that. Or maybe a hbb or move her or ???
Any ideas would be appreciated!
Requirements:
-Emi has to go in the 2nd row. No one will climb in to buckle them. (preferably driver side, we have an aa ordered to try her there)
-Ian needs a tether, so center back or captains chair
-no budget, I have lots of extra seats and can buy new seats if necessary
-J in hbb would be preferred, but the lr works too
-Kids need to be able to buckle themselves (they can buckle the literiders now)
