So I drove our 2001 Alero for years with no qualms about it, both my boys came home from
the hospital in it. When DD was about to be born we bought a used 05 Ody in 2008 and since then it's been the vehicle I drive 90% of the time and the deal since the boys went into no back boosters was the kids ride in the van only. Well activities have come up starting this week that we need to have boys in 1 place at the same time as DD, so we need to divide up kids. Tonight DD rode with me in the van since her seat is installed in the van and DH took boys in the car with their no back boosters. They only have to go about 3 miles 1 way, no dangerous intersections, only lived her 4 months, but have never seen an accident. I just feel a little bad that they aren't protected on the side with the no back boosters, but I honestly don't think I'm concerned enough to buy high backs, partly because the oldest is getting really tall and there are only a couple he would even fit into. Even DS2 is too tall for all the "cheap" boosters. So I guess I just have to know it's a short trip, pretty slow speeds and they will be fine.
