We are expecting #4 any day now and recently installed the infant seat in our '09 8-seater Sienna.
So we have...
Middle row:
Infant center, FF Size4Me behind driver for 4.5 year old, passenger side seat removed for ease of getting to the back.
Back row:
FF Nauti harnessed for 6.5 year old passenger side, RF MR65 for 2 year old driver side.
The only tether anchors are where the Nauti is now, and in the mostly useless center position, thus the RF MR behind the driver in the third row.
Getting my two year old in and out of that spot in the back row is a pain in the rear. I'd like to have both older kids in the third row, to make putting the two year old in her seat easier, but that would mean moving my 6.5 year old into a booster full time.
He's been training in an Affix with SS and has been doing great, even while sleeping, but he hasn't outgrown the harness on the Nauti yet (maybe 3/4 in left) so I feel hesitation about full time boostering him.
I know there's no research to support a 6.5 year old being safer in a harness vs. booster, but what would you do? Move him to booster or suck it up until he outgrows the harness?
