We are FINALLY getting a 15 passanger van soon(yes, I know there are safer vehicles out there, but dh HATES the way the sprinter looks, and won't buy one Plus, I can't get a used passanger one). But we are also going to be keeping our current van (190,000 miles and still going strong) and I hate doing car seat shuffles. So I'd like to have a seat for all the kids that need them in each vehicle.
Right now I have:
8yo 48lbs in Safeguard
6yo 45 lbs in safeguard
4yo 34 lbs in blvd FF
1yo 19lbs in Marathon RF
I have available also a Parkway booster, and a Evenflo harnessed booster (chase I believe). Also the babe still fits in her infant seat (baby trend latch loc), but not for much longer.
The van we are getting will have LATCH connectors, and I'm hoping to exchange 2 of the seats for ones that will have the middle shoulder belt as well (chevy express, and then those seats will have 2 latch connectors as well). I'm thinking I'll use the seats the kids are currently in in the new van. And then the parkway for the 8yo, and the evenflo booster for the 4yo since she is well below the top harness slots (uses 2nd right now) in the old one.
I just don't know what I should get for the baby and 6yo. I prefer to keep him harnessed. So I was thinking maybe a regent since I won't have the space issues anymore, and he doesn't have a lot of room in a Marathon/Blvd anymore.
Any other ideas? I'm also looking for another seat for my neighbor to keep installed in her car (no latch or tethers) for the 4yo. I tried her in the Scenera at Target, and there wasn't a whole lot of room left harness height wise. I don't want to spend a ton of money for "extra" seats, but I want them to be easy to use and install also.
