high harness adjustable seat to be shared...

mdsvc89 · Mar 14, 2013

For my summer carpool setup, there are 3 boys, all around age 6. In the prius they'll be Big kid Amp/BubbleBum/Big kid Amp like my school year crowd is.

Both of the other families also have a 3 year old. One family has a Mazda V -- no problem.

The other family has a subaru outback. The plan is for one of the boys to use the 3 year old's harnessed seat while she is with the nanny -- ideally the smallest boy (which I don't think is my son...)

I need some brainstorming about what harnessed seats are likely to work for both an average sized 3 year old an an average sized 6 year old, with a harness that adjusts without rethreading.

The other 2 seats will be a HBB and a bubblebum in this setup, too.

Thanks.

My first thought is the Argos...I'm sure there are others but that's all I'm coming up with right now.

Depending on torso height, Complete Air? I think it's 17.5"

My very tall 5yo (46"+) fits in a complete air. He has average torso for his height I think.

I wouldn't count on a CA fitting a 6 year old, though, unless you can test it out first.

Thanks, all. Mom says that right now, her son sometimes uses his sister's carseat. I'm going to measure torsos and figure it out. I guess if her son is shorter than mine (and I'm pretty sure he is...) I'm going to ask that my DS be in the HBB or the bubblebum for the 2 mile drive home.

Those other seats seem monstrous, and not 3 across in a subaru outback friendly. Also, it doesn't look like they'd give us much more than the summer, so it would be a hard sell to buy a new seat, though the maestro is cheap...

Hmmm.. just measured. My ds has a 16" torso (seated on floor, legs in front, back on wall) so we may have more room than I thought. I guess he's more leg than torso...

The CA is not a narrow seat. Installed with a belt it barely fits in the 40% part of our scions back seat. The maestro is slightly narrower but not a lot and its not a no rethread.
