Unfortunately, we did our research backwards and purchased a vehicle before reading about car seats in the vehicle. We have purchased a 2016 Chrysler Town & Country. It has a third row and 2 captain's chairs (though, I call the bucket seats). We are trying to come up with the best configuration for our kids, since there are only three anchor/tether spots in the vehicle.
Currently, our 2 kids are:
Kid 1: Forward-facing, 4yrs old. He's 41 pounds and 41" tall. He sits in a Diono Radian RXT (with the 5-pt. harness).
Kid 2: Rear-facing, 2 yrs old. She's 26 pounds and 32" tall. She also rides in a Diono Radian RXT.
Within the next year or so, we hope to add to our family. At that time, we would have slightly older children, plus an infant in a Chicco Keyfit 30. I would like to keep the boy harnessed as long as possible, and my daughter rear-facing until she is 3 or outgrows the rear-facing limits of the seat.
Any suggestions for arrangement now (the two kids), and in a year or two (3 kids)?
Thank you!
