6 Kids
9 year old, 60 lb ish, passes 5 step in back and middle row
7 year old, 51 lbs
6 year old girl, 56 lbs
6 year old boy, 51 lbs
5 year old, 48 lbs
1 year old, 27 lbs RF in older Evenflo seat soon to be outgrown.

Not sure on year of van, we think an 01 but could be a 00 or 02 as well, based on logic of deduction.

lap belt only in middle of both rows. shoulder belts in all 4 outboard seats.

What would you recommend and who to put where only things to remember is 9 year old will not ride in thrid row.

All kids except for the 1 and 5 year old will only ride in boosters. We can convince them to do 5 point for the 5 year old as long as we get her to be able to do it all on her own. Otherwise the 9 year old will be in the lap only position.

I would put the 1yo in the center 2nd row and harness the 5yo in a radian or GN in the lap-only belt in the 3rd row. That way, everyone else has a shoulder belt and headrest. I'm not certain, but most Ventures I've seen don't have a headrest in that 3rd row center seat.

Hopefully the third row will fit 3 across with 2 boosters. Usually, the third row is a little shorter to allow for the wheels.

1 year old RF radian second row with 9 year old beside him (why won't the 9 year old ride in back?). If Radian won't fit, Marathon.
5 year old Radian FF back middle. If Radian won't install (unlikely with a LB, but possible), GN. If child is too tall for either, Kid-Y with RideRyte booster.
Huh? are there two 3 person rows? AFAIK, the middle is only a two person row. If that's the case, uh...
two six year old in the back in the narrowest booster possible... I'd go looking for a Parkway or FPSVD booster. Otherwise, an Evenflo Big Kid should work, fairly narrow. I'd keep the backs on if possible, backless if necessary and head support is there.
Since we're assuming there is another 2nd row seat (which I doubt), 7 year old in a backless Turbo if proper head support. Otherwise put the nine year old in front and the seven year old in back in a backless turbo.

The venture had an 8 passenger option when it was out.

The third row is smaller than the second row. It would be ideal if the 9 year old would sit in the third row, with a radian middle and parkway or fisher price booster. Then you could have radian rfing center, with 2 boosters outboard in the second row.

Since the 9 year old won't sit in the back, then I would suggest radian center with parkways or fisher price boosters outboard in the third row. In the second row, any booster should work and any of the 35 pound rfing weight seats would be fine for the little one. IIRC, the center row of the venture has equal sized seats across, like the sienna, so most combinations should work, esp with a seat belt only kid.
