With baby #5 arriving soon, we need to figure out how to get 3 across in the back seat of our minivan.
We have a 2007 Toyota Sienna.
The seat we already have and don't want to replace that will go back there is a Britax Frontier (the original first one that came out that is now retired.). It is on the passenger side, forward facing, with a seat belt install. 4 year old DS sits in there.
Right now, my 8 year old DS also sits back there, driver's side, in a graco turbobooster with the high back. The middle position is empty.
My 2.5 year old DS is currently rear facing in an about-to-expire Britax Boulevard. Since that seat needs to be replaced, the thought was to switch him to forward facing, and stick him in the third row.
The fourth child is my 6 year old DD, and she is in a Graco Nautilus that we just bought last year. I KNOW we can't fit the Nautilus, the Frontier, and a booster in the third row, so putting her back there is not really an option. She is small for her age, and we would prefer to keep her in a harness as long as possible so I don't want to switch her to a booster, either, and her seat is new so I don't want to replace it.
So - about that third row.... if we get a Radian, which I know is the narrowest seat out there, what booster seat do you think would fit back there as well? It would then be a Frontier, a Radian in the middle, and then hopefully a booster seat. Preferably a high back booster seat.
We've tried already to stick a radian back there with our existing turbobooster, and my husband said it wouldn't fit. He didn't try removing the back of the booster, though, it's possible it may fit that way.
Thanks so much!
