I am having a difficult time figuring out where to go from here...
My cars are both small -but I need help with fitting 3 kids in the back of an (older) Acura TL (no latch). My preference is the kids are in 5 point harness carseats as long as possible, but with 2 Marathons my 12 year old step son can barely fit in between. Plus the Marathon's only have 2-3 inches in torso height left since they tend to be small...but their height is in their torso. They both LOVE their Regent's in our other car - but there is no way to fit my step-son in that car with them (it's smaller than the Acura too)
The kids are 3 1/2 (DD) and 4 1/2 (DS), 33 pounds each and 38 and 39 inches tall. So I'm not really worried about the actual weight capacity since they will probably be 9 or 10 before they hit 65 pounds. They are not special needs specifically, but do have chronic health problems and I need to be conservative with safety because their bodies cannot handle being injured. So my preference is they are in five point harnesses until at least 8ish if not longer. They also tend to sleep in their car seats because we have long drives to pick up my step-son...
Any ideas on the best option for me? I have looked at Frontier, Radian 80 and Nautilus online. Are there other options - any reason one is better than the other? It was easy to move to the Regent last year for the other car but I can't make a decision right now at all. I also have a little bit of time so I can wait if something new is coming out in the next six months or so...
Thanks in advance for any advice.
