(hopefully I'm in the right forum)
Ok so #3 is due in May (yeah I like to worry early ) and here's my current vehicle and setup - 2002 MPV, Paige (5 yr old, 43 lbs) in a Radian in the 2nd row middle/psgr side seat (the seat slides from side to side depending on where I want it) and Mikaylah (3 yrs old, 33lbs) in a Frontier, 2nd row, driver side. There are 3 TA in this van (both 2nd row seats, attached to the seat, not on the floor, and middle 3rd row but the anchor is on the back of the trunk well), and 2 sets of LATCh (both captains chairs in the 2nd row). I'm assuming I'll have a SS1 for the baby (can't see myself spending the extra $$ to get a 22lb Keyfit) I was THINKING of putting Paige in the 3rd row, still in her Radian, Mikaylah going to the sliding seat, baby on the drivers side. BUT BUT BUT - if I put Paige in the 3rd row, her tether will go straight across the trunk well, meaning that I'll have a heck of a time getting a stroller in and out of the vehicle each time I need it. I am a sling/carrier user, but I do love my strollers sometimes. When baby3 comes, Paige will be almost 6. Do I put Paige on the psgr side outboard 3rd row (lapbelt in the middle) in a booster? She's currently a bit wiggly in a booster but by then I could probably work on it with her between now and then. Also, if she's in a booster outboard, I can easily reach her to buckle - in the ctr, I have to reach over her from the back of the van to buckle her, which is a bit tough.
WWYD? Suggestions pls? Hopefully I haven't left anything out!
