I am running into a delima. I have 2 vehicles I need to configure seats in... but can't seem to figure it out.
Vehicle 1- 1997 Chevy Suburban with bench seats in both back rows.

Vehicle 2- 1995 G-20 handicap van. Rear bench seats seats 3, and 1 captains chair, as well as tie downs for 1 wheelchair.

Children:
18 months- rear facing (34.5lbs)
27 months- either rear or forward (38.7lbs)
4 year old- forward facing (32lbs)
7 year old- wheelchair in 1 vehicle and special needs car seat in other.
8 year old- seat belt (83 lbs, 5'1")
17 year old- seat belt

Car seats I have:
1 diono Pacifica
1 britax marathon g4
1 britax frontier 85
1 britax frontier 85 (with side cushions)
1 graco nautilus
1 Chicco next fit
1 kiddy world plus
1 britax parkway
1 special tomato mps
1 Roosevelt

I can buy up to 2 more seats to make work if I have to but would love to figure out without that.

There are 4 shoulder belts (on each outside) and a headrest on each for suburban.

Van has 3 shoulder belts (2 on either side of bench- each has headrest) and 1 for captains chair.

The van isn't much issue as pretty much any 3 across placement on bench fits for any seats (currently have britax frontier with side cushions, Chicco nextfit, and britax marathon there).
The suburban is harder as I have to keep my daughter behind drivers seat and be able to slide the 3rd middle row seat back and forth to get in and out of back.

So are there 2 seats I could do 1 rear facing 1 forward facing and 1 seat belt rider in 3rd row of suburban?
