I'll try to explain as best as I can. Currently Michael is in a graco air booster in the center of the middle row. Isaiah is in the regent installed with the lbp behind the driver, and Kaitlin is in her ss1 (for now) behind the passenger installed with the seatbelt. My problem is that the buckle for Michael's seatbelt is right beside the buckle for the regent and he's unbuckled it twice now trying to buckle himself in. I can't buckle him in because my had doesn't fit in there! The regent install with latch is horrid in my expedition. I tried switching the regent and the ss1 and installing the ss1 with latch so he couldn't unbuckle it, but that didn't work. With the regent on the other side and the air booster right against it the booster is sitting on top of the buckle for that seatbelt. I've tried having Kaitlin in the middle, but lifting her over the other seats is extremely difficult. I do have a 3rd row that Michael could sit in the middle of, but I have a few issues with that. I only have side airbags in the first 2 rows, not the 3rd. Also, there isn't a lot of room between the 3rd row and the back of the truck, so I feel like if we get rear ended it could be really bad for him. I've thought about just keeping it like it is, but re-installing the regent while in the parking lot, in the snow, with 3 kids, is not my idea of fun and I've had to do it twice now. Even worse than that, what if he unbuckles it and I don't realize it. Both times he's realized what happened and told me, but I can't count on that. What would you do??
Edited to add that the middle seat in both rows is smaller than the outboard seats and the regent doesn't fit in either of them. It sits on top of the buckle. Also, all 3 middle row positions have latch, the 3rd row only has a tether anchor in the middle position and I can't add more if any of that effects what you would do!
