Just a couple questions regarding which seats to use, for who, and where in my temporary vehicle. This is for one week.
The vehicle is a 2000 Dodge Grand Caravan, with no tether anchors. I am in Canada, so tethers are required, but I'm not going to get a borrowed vehicle retrofitted for a week.
Kids are:
Faith (7), Griffin (6), Rayn (3.5), Riley (2.5). Faith and Griffin will be in boosters and Rayn and Riley are both FF.
Seats are:
Parkway, highback turbo booster, backless turbo booster, Radian, Nautilus, Apex, and True Fit.
I'm assuming that Riley should be in the Radian because he's the youngest FF child and there are no TAs. So because of the low head excursion numbers in an untethered Radian, he should be in that.
I'm not sure what to put Rayn in. Either True Fit, Nautilus, or Apex. I thought I remembered seeing a chart with various head excursion numbers for a bunch of seats with and without tethers. Can't remember where it was though. If i put her in the True Fit Griffin can fit in the Nautilus in harnessed mode, although that's not a huge concern because he's a great booster rider. I'm just not sure which seat is the best untethered for Rayn. She is 36lbs and very tall/long torsoed.
Thoughts? And which side of the vehicle should Rayn and Riley go on?
