Ok, I need some help with moving my kids around and what seats to use.
Here is the sitch...I'm debating about whether or not to keep my Wizard. It's got 2 years left on it, but the harness height adjuster on it has issues. I've got 3 covers for it, and 3 kids that can use it (right now).
Placement issues...DD (R3) can't be next to anyone younger than her. She can't manage to keep her hands to herself and likes to poke them in the face. Constantly. :thumbsdown:
DS#1 (R1) can't be next to a harnessed seat with the double buckles as he will constantly unbuckle the harnessed seat instead of his booster.
We'll also be adding another kid to the mix come November/December.
So here's the low-down on placement right now... ^ indicates double buckles. Center seats are lap-belt only/no headrest.
D [] []
R2^R4 [] <---access to 3rd row
R1 []^R3
Come Nov/Dec we're looking at...
D [] []
R5 R4 R1 (R1 would be in a hbb)
R2 [] R3
R2 is in the Wizard, with the headrest all the way raised and is 43lb
R4 is RF in an Roundabout with maybe 2" of shell over his head and is 24lb
R1 is in a Parkway and is too tall for any harnessed seat other than the Regent/Frontier and is 45lb
R3 is in a Decathalon and is 35lb.
I'm open to moving kids around in seats that we currently own, and I'm also open to buying 1 new seat for SOMEone...
We also own, a Graco UltraCargo, Recaro Start, Graco AirBooster(x2) and an 86Y harness.
Talk about complicated...maybe we should make this one of the scenario's on the CPST training course.
