Hello everyone! I just found out I am expecting!
We currently have 4 kids, 2 mine and 2 his. ages 4,4,7,9. both 4 year olds are still harnessed, 7 year old is in a backless booster and 9 year old with no seat. He is well over limits at 5'3" and 115 lbs. So when baby comes I planned to move youngest to high back boosters, they will be 5 and almost 5 at that point. They are both big for their age/weight. So looking for help for configuration in the 2009 kia sedona. My main concern is school. The school does drop off and pick up lines and I am worried about the two going into k and the 7 year old being able to buckle in the 3rd row with 3 boosters. Would putting 9 year old in the middle back be a good idea or is there a good boosting option with narrow seats they can figure out on their own?. The youngest are not trained on boosters yet. I moved my oldest to a booster just before k and planned to do that with these two and I do not think I can fit all the carseats in the back. I would like baby in a captains chair. It will be the only kiddo that will be with me all the time as the others go to their other parents home 2 nights a week. Our second vehicle is a nissan altima. It was mine and the van was dp's but i have the kids most the time so I use the van 90% of the time and he uses the car to go to work. He is worried about not having our secondary vehicle not be big enough to fit all the kids. So do others with lots of kids have 2 7 passenger vehicles or one car/one van?
And how long can we last in 7 passenger. I am already worried about it being uncomfortable for the kids. legally yeah it is a 7 passenger but for comfort they will be crammed in there. I was thinking of just holding off on trading in the car and waiting a couple years and getting something bigger down the road and keeping the van and getting a second one or something larger...I do not know if we will have another and i do not even know if this is a singleton birth yet either lol!
