Ever have the perfect seat set up, until you add the kids? What did you do for kicking sibs?
2-year-old was RF in a Radian, middle seat of 3rd row of Odyssey. Felt so safe!!
Well...
3-year-old was FF (43", 42 lbs.) next to him in Radian. 2-year-old (38", 32 lbs. and he just turned 2) would kick sib's face and eyes. They both screamed and hit the whole way. I could NOT do this anymore.
So I switched 3-year-old to a Securekid 300 (the Radian was below his shoulders due to headrest slippage; I'd had enough). And I moved 2-year-old outboard to an Advocate (he might not fit by height long but the front to back room was ideal over the Radian).
Newborn, plus boostered 5 and 6-year-olds remain in second row (easy access to school drop-off).
Not sure how I feel about the new set-up yet. Now NO other person can fit in the 3rd row, and the plan was an adult would ride back there on the upcoming 7 hour roadtrip to keep 2YO happy, and we'd always have an extra seat if needed for whatever. Now, nope.
Mom suggested turn 2YO FF. He could have stayed in the middle in the Radian and an adult would still fit...but for now we're able to keep RF. He is so tall I don't feel there are too many options. But for now, this is the new set-up. On a carseat high from the effort it took to do all this, lol. What a workout! And I'm not supposed to exercise until my 6 week checkup.
