I need to pick up two kids from sleep away camp on Tuesday, so I will have a 4.75 year old, 11 year old and 8 year old in my 2014 Highlander, along with 4 very large duffel bags. Due to the size of the duffel bags, I think I'll have to have the third row down. My 4.75 year old normally rides in a TFP, but I have a RSTV2 for carpool. My 8 year old is in a harmony lightrider and my 11 year old uses and incognito. Normally the 8 year old is in the 3rd row, so I don't have to worry about the stupid overlap seatbelt, no 3 across rule.
The manual says "when using the right hand second and third set for the child restraint system, do not sit in the center second and third seat. Seat belt function maybe impaired, such as being positioned overly high or loose fitting, which may result in death or serious injury in the event of sudden braking, sudden swerving or an accident."
I know that a RSTV2 is a restraint system, but it's a totally different type of restraint system. Do you think it would be ok to put my 4.75 year old in the second row right hand passenger seat in her RSTV2, my 11 year old in the center seat in her incognito, and my 8 year old in the left hand second row seat behind the driver? Just so I know, what about the 11 year old in the right hand side in the incognito since there are on armrests or anything that looks like it would interfere with how the center seatbelt operates and the RSTV2 would keep the belt low and in the proper position on the 4.75 year old in the center seat? FYI, I use the top tether with the RSTV2 and there is a top tether for all 3 seats in the 2nd row. TIA!
