We just bought a 2011 Town & Country and traded in our 2004 Honda Odyssey. The back seat in this new van is slightly narrower. I have our 16 month old in myride65 RF right behind the driver seat. My 3 other kids have rotated to the other captains seat because they all want to be next to "baby". Currently, my oldest, 8 y/o, is in the captains seat in a Turbobooster without highback. My 2 other (4 and 6 year olds) are in the back in Nautilus', the 4 y/o is strapped in and the 6 y/o is using as a highback booster. With these two seats in back, there is no room for anyone to sit in the middle (even though that middle seat is quite narrow to begin with).
Does anyone else have a Town & Country or in a similar situation? I looked at the 6 y/o's seat belt and the lap belt seems a little high, not exactly on hips, so I'm thinking I should get him a new high back booster. I would like a good one that is narrower, if possible. Ideally, I would like to get a new one for the 4 y/o - she is close to 50 pounds and tall for her age so she could be in a highback booster too.
Any ideas? Advice? I admit, I am new to all this carseats stuff and don't know many of the abbreviations, so forgive my ignorance. Also, we are not very rich so $200 seats are not an option (I will have a hard enough time convincing hubby that I want to spend any money on new carseats - he doesn't agree that carseats should have expiration dates:0
Thank you!
