I am thinking I should get another spare seat. We recently sold our truck and now only have our van. My dh has a work truck w/backseat (08 Chevy) that he can drive, but I can't drive it. We have seats in the van for all the kids and used to have 3 seats in the truck.
If I was going somewhere w/o the kids, I'd take the truck so dh would have the van and seats in case of emergency. Now I can only drive our van, so I'm thinking I should have spares for everyone just in case there is an emergency and dh needs to put seats in his work truck. This may never happen, but I'd hate for him to have to put someone in no seat.
I currently have 1 parkway, 1 turbo booster w/back, 1 cargo (expires 12/09) for spares.
Kids are 8, 48", 52#
7, 47", 48#
4, 41", 37-38#
20 mon, 31", 21#
Would you want baby to rf more than 4 yo harnessed? I could put 4 yo in parkway, 7 yo in turbo, baby in cargo and get a backless turbo for 8 yo. This is my cheapest option.
Or I could get an avenue or true fit for baby to rf. I don't want a scenera.
Or I could use the Cargo and turbo for the 7 & 8, parkway for 4 yo, and get something for baby.
I don't want to spend a ton of money for something that may never happen, but I want there to be an option in case of emergency.
Sorry this got so long.
4 yo has never ridden in a booster, but if the seatbelt was locked, I think she would do fine in a short trip. She is very safety conscious.
