Hi! Right now my family is in the market for a bunch of new seats. We're planning on a vehicle upgrade (to a huge freakin 12 passenger van!!!) And we're looking for some new seats for the kids. Although most of the seats aren't too old they are all pretty nasty and dirty (just like the rest of or van lol) and I think that with a new car can come new seats. I'm looking for all new seats for all of my kids.
DS1(8)- 60lbs, 55", 18" shoulders, HBB
DS2(6)- 36lbs, 40", 13.5" shoulders, RF
DS3(5)- 43lbs, 46", 16" shoulders, FF
DS4(3)- 31lbs, 37", 14" shoulders, RF
DS5(1.5)- 25lbs, 29", 10.5" shoulders, RF
DD1(1.5)- 27lbs, 30", 11" shoulders, RF

My old restrictions are:
-No Clek convertibles
-No Diono Comvertibles
-No rear facing only seats

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Any special needs in there? I see you've got a six year old rear facing and younger siblings forward facing.

What van will you be getting? Something with head restraints so as your kids (especially the eight year old) get bigger they have support to prevent whiplash?

Yes DS2 has cerebral palsy and low tone so we're keeping him rear facing as long as possible.
We are 90% sure that we are getting a Nissan NV. It has room for all the kids plus room for DS2's wheelchair and DS5 amd DD1's stroller! All of the seats have headrests which are removable. That gives us plenty of growing room in terms of preventing whiplash when my littles aren't so little anymore.
