I need some advice! My current situation is:
DD1 5y/o 47" 45lbs. in GN seat belt instal
DD2 2.5y/o 25lbs. rf in signo latched in captains seat
DS 1y/o 25lbs. rf in signo latched in captains seat
I have an 03 Sedona minivan with the captains seat with latch & the "bench" seat with seat belts only in the 3rd row. All has been fine BUT now I am watching a 10week old! So I have to fit him in. I am wondering if the snugride will install with the seat belt next to the GN????!! I have horribly long belt stalks in the 3rd row and cannot get most car seats to install (EFTA, Signo, Radian)
The only other solution I can think of is to put DD1 in her parkway, DD2 in the GN and then put the baby in the vacant signo.
HELP :confused:

I'm sure someone with more knowledge will pipe in, but I don't think you'll be able to get the snugride with the base in the third row. I have an 04 with the bench in the middle. Installing with the base made the snugride too long, even with the middle seat all the way forward & the back seat all the way back. I don't see how the snugride will fit directly next to the other seat-that 3rd row bench is pretty narrow. A RF roundabout fits in the third row, but I know that doesn't help you.

Have you tried the installs in the third row with that seat slid more forward or more back? I currently have a FF Marathon back there & it installs much better with the seat forward.

Sorry I don't have more help.

Well, the only seat in the 3rd row is the GN. So, I have room for another car seat but the problem are those horrible belt stalks!! :hitselfonhead:
