My sister is coming to visit for several days and I'd like to get her kids in the back of my van so we can just take 1 car.

Ages:
10 1/2 year old Rides in a Harmony LBB or a Parkway HBB. Does 5 step in the doofy "mini" 8th seat that Toyota decided to put in these.
8 YO Rides in Parkway HBB. Can 5 step in the 8th seat.
4 YO Rides in Frontier
2 YO FF in a Roundabout (my niece)
11 month old RF in Maxi Cosi Pria
3 month old RF in key fit

I also have a nextfit and a coccoro and bubblebums (2) and an incognito.

Keep in mind that there are only latches in the captains chairs (second row) and the MIDDLE of the back row. ONE of my older kids HAS to be in that 8th seat. I'm not opposed to purchasing a narrower seat if it's under $100 since my sister needs another convertible anyway.

I would put two RFers in the 3rd row (whatever seats work best--some combination of the Coccoro, KF, and Nextfit, probably) and the 8yo in a Bubblebum. Two FFers in the captain's chairs, and the 10.5 yo in the jump seat. Load RFers through the tailgate.

Having the same van, I would do:
3rd row passenger Parkway, roundabout, RF CCO. If that doesn't quite fit, I would keep the parkway rider (can help to buckle kids, I hope) ;) then I know that the Frontier and a RF radian actually fit next to each other. You can also kind of stand over the top of the RF seats to buckle kids into the third row, so you can fold the middle seat in second row down, kneel on it or stand back there to buckle in the RFer on the driver side. I might have personal experience with that. :)

2nd row Frontier, 10 year old, RFer
