I posted before about needing to rent a car, but the situation has changed and we'll now be sharing a vehicle with my in-laws... so that's a total of 4 adults and 3 in carseats. My son is 10 mos, rear-facing in a True Fit (w/o the headrest). My older niece is 4, forward-facing in a Marathon and my younger niece is 2, also forward-facing in a Marathon (but could obviously still be rear-facing). We're looking at renting a minivan, but all the info I can get is it'll be a "Dodge Grand Caravan, Chevy Uplander or similar" and I'm told it has the middle row with captain's chairs and the 3rd row bench seat.
Phew, that was a lot of details! So here are my questions:
1. do you think we'll be okay with the 3 seats in one of these minivans? I have a 4runner and no experience with vans at all
2. what's our best bet for a configuration? My SIL and I were talking and thought maybe the 2 Marathons in the captains seats and the TF in the middle of the 3rd row (with us on either side and our tall DHs in the front)
Any thoughts or experiences would be appreciated!
