RSTV Sizes

Kids:
G-9 years old Boostered in a Nautilus - 63 lbs
C-8 years old Boostered in a Parkway SG - 55 lbs
M-5 years old Harnessed in a Nautilus - 42 lbs

My in laws have a 05 Grand Caravan, and we often try to use one vehicle when we can the third row center is a lap belt only and has a head rest. I want to be able to get the kids in three across with them as comfotable as possible.

So what size RSTV would you get and which kid/s would you use it for?

I want to use Highbacks for the out board kids and also have a radian for either of the younger two can fit in. I have tired lots of combos and I really think for the long run that a RSTV would help.

I have done a radian middle with two lite riders for short trips and I have to climb back and buckle everyone as it is so tight. I don't think I can get much more narrow. I also need this to be a long term thing that will work for the next 2 + years. until someone gets a newer van with three belts back there or my daughter gets big enough to sit back there without a seat.

Funny thing to note is my kids all have almost the same torso size. I also am comfortable using the radian over the tops slots. It does not faze me if the manufacturer is that sure of their seat I will use it if I need it.

I'd get a large and use it for one of the older kids.

what weight can it be used for with the lap belt and tether?

We had one several years ago, but there was no restriction on weight or age for lap belt and top tether. I think at 60 pounds, maybe, you need a dual tether? I need to head to bed, but is that info on their site?

Their site was really confusing. I guess I will have to call and see what they say.

Yes. If you go to the install videos it does say over 60lbs requires dual tethers. It is step by step for lap belt only and lap shoulder install
