DS2 was born in March 2012. He still fits easily in a bunch of RF seats. He's in a Radian in the 2013 Ody, which is primarily driven by DH.
DS3 will start day care at the end of January. DH wants to turn DS2 FF at that point, take out a captain's chair, put the older 2 in the 3rd row, have the baby in the +1 seat, and have easy access to all 3 car seats from the "staging area", given that he's likely to be dealing with 3 kids, 2 of whom are WILD, and nasty weather fairly often. I certainly sympathize, but I wanted to get DS2 to at least his 3rd birthday RF, and preferably his 4th.
I'll keep him RF in the Mazda 5, given the side impact test results (I've got DS1 RF in the Mazda 5, and he's 5 now!) I'll be getting kids out from 3 separate doors, no way around it, so aside from messy shoes, RF is no less convenient than FF in my car.
Would you be ok turning a kid at not quite 3?
