I am trying to plan how to fit 3 across in my husbands 2009 ford escape. This is our vehicle for towing our tent trailer so it needs to work for longer drives and I am hoping to be able to install once and leave it for the summer. Here's what I am working with
The kids
B will be 4 in June, about 40" and 35 lbs. Recently turned FF
A is 2 , about 34" and 25 lbs, want to keep RF
Baby due in early June, probably average size
The seats
Snugride 22
3 radians ( 1 premier and 2 rxts)
Britax boulevard
Evenflo maestro
Evenflo triumph
I have angle adjusters for the radians and would be able to purchase an infant insert if needed for the baby to use the boulevard. My husband doesn't particularly want a RF seat behind the driver although he has managed with the Snugride there in the past so I think if it was the only way he would be ok.
Also looking for advice on whether the Snugride or one of the convertibles would be easier for the newborn, I do plan to baby wear when possible.
As much as I love playing car seat shuffle it is becoming a bit challenging at this point in my pregnancy so any suggestions and experiences that might help narrow it down for me would be greatly appreciated!
