Hi, I'm hoping someone can help. I've been reading threads here and on the Odyssey club forum too, and have yet to find a really great answer--here's hoping this hasn't been asked before (and I just missed it).
I have an 11yo and a 9yo in harnessed britax pinnacles, which is great. My 2yo is RF in a chicco nextfit, in the passenger captains chair (pushed to the middle), next to the 9yo. 11yo is by himself in the third row. I'm due any minute, and just spent 2 hours messing with car seats in an attempt to install the keyfit I'll be using with the new baby.
I put the keyfit in the 2nd row passenger captains chair (in the middle), and left the pinnacle where it was in the 2nd row drivers side captains chair. So far so good. Now for the problem: I'd like to keep the 2yo RF (in the nextfit), but the 11yo needs to get to his seat too, and I don't think he can squeeze under the RF nextfit all the time. So I put the RF nextfit in the center 3rd row and the 11yo's pinnacle in the passenger position.
The install on the nextfit is completely unacceptable and I'm contemplating turning the 2yo FF so I can strap him in from the passenger sliding door while still letting the 11yo past the seat to get to his. But 2yo JUST had his birthday and I really do not want to turn him. I also have these handy older kids and I intend to use them for baby/toddler entertainment in the car (we live way out in the country so every trip is a long one), so to me both babies in the 2nd row is a no-go.
Does anyone have any awesome, earth-shattering ideas for me? The keyfit is like new from the 2yo and the nextfit is even newer so I really don't want to buy something else. Is this possible?? Thank you!!
