Hi experts!
I'm trying to figure out the safest install for a three-across in our 2001 Toyota Highlander. We have an almost 3-yr old and twins arriving in (hopefully) about 6 weeks. We already have and love the radian rxt and two britax chaperones that work with our double stroller.
Our plan had been to FF our oldest (she is off the growth charts and is just under 40lbs and 38.5 inches tall) in the center position and then install the chaperones on either side. By doing this she can scramble in to the center and we can reach through the front seats to fasten her.
But, when we went to test this we saw that we don't have latch in the center position. I'm not concerned about a seat-belt install except that it seems safer to have the top tethered back to something when FF, especially since we can't use the safety stop strap due to her weight.
How would you work with these seats and this configuration? Is it an issue to not have the top of the FF Radian tethered back to anything? Eventually we're planning on three across with the radians, but will be RF the twins for as long as possible, so this may be the only time we need to worry about the lack of latch in the center position.
Would love your advice, and I promise to post a pic of the finished solution!!
Thanks everyone!
