Multiple car seat questions

I have been trying to do my research to get the best seats I can for my kids. We do a lot of 80mph interstate driving and live in an area with lots of snow and ice. I drive a 2007 Dodge Grand Caravan. Right now I have my two oldest kids in the rear outboard seats. They are in a turbobooster and Cosco Pronto. They are 8 and 10 years old. My 14mo old rides in a britax marathon g4.1. I know for sure I want to get a Clek Foonf for baby. I am thinking of installing it in the rear if it will fit in the latch spot back there. I would like to buy rigid latch booster seats for my older two because I have read there may be some added safety benefits to them. I would like to get a nbb for my 10 year old and a hbb for my 8 year old. I am having a hard time figuring out which seats would be good for them though. They 48in 46 pounds and 56in 70 pounds.

Hi,
You aren't limited to installing with LATCH. The Clek seats have lockoffs that usually make a seatbelt install pretty doable.

I assume you'll move the others to the second row?

The 10 year old may be big enough that boosters with rigid attachments will be uncomfortably shallow. I'd lean toward a Safety 1st incognito for a child that age and size.

How tall is your 8 year old's torso?
