Okay so as I said I got a SureRide for DD1 because she hasn't been sitting nicely in her booster and the shoulder belt slides off her shoulder because she's LEANING all the time. So the SureRide is great, installs perfectly, tons of growing room, except for one thing- the stupid crotch buckle. She usually gets one side buckled and then can't do the other side. So I have her in the 3rd row middle because that's where my 3rd tether is, but it's hard for me to climb back there every time to help her do the last buckle. I already have to open and close both of the sliding doors, and buckle DS and DD2. I have some chronic joint pain issues btw so it's not just an annoyance but a little more than that (in case anyone was wondering).
So WWYD? My preferred set up would be DD2 rear facing in the captains chair, and DD1 and DS both FFing on the middle and outboard passenger of the 3rd row bench. That way I can have one captains chair stowed and I only have to open ONE door, and climb in ONE time to help them all buckle.
Is it better to have the captains chair stowed on that passenger side if one of them is not tethered? I can put DS on the passenger side and use a seat with FFing lock offs too, he's in the ProRide right now but his Foonf is coming tomorrow so I would most likely use that. But I'm still a little paranoid. Tell me is it okay? Or should I just deal with it and keep them all tethered?
