So I am trying to figure out how to fit #3 into my van... due in a week.

I have a 7 Passenger 2005 Chevy Venture. Second row has captain chairs and third row is 50/50 split.

Right now my oldest dd is riding passenger side, third row in a frontier
My younger dd is riding RF, in captain chair on driver side, in a como

Seats I have...
Marathon, (rf 33 lb limit)
Como
Baby trend flex loc.


Kids...
Madison 4 years 40lbs
Morgan 2.5 years 31lbs
Joe ???


Im not sure how to put the seats in with the new baby. I would like to keep my younger dd RF, she is 31 lbs, but when I tried to put her in the third row RF in the como it didnt work. Not sure if I could get her buckled.

Im also not sure if I want to put the baby in the baby trend. I got it from my cousin and am just not crazy about it. I know the handle has to be down when driving and it sticks really bad.

So how would you arrange the seats??

Im thinking I may have to turn my younger dd FF in the third row next to my older dd.

I'd put both kids in the 3rd row. Your DD1 on the passenger side, FF, with the younger kiddo RF in the Como driver's side. Then put the baby in the Driver's side captain's chair and take the other captain's chair out for access to all the kids. Then just load everyone in the passenger side slider, click the baby seat in, and get the other ones buckled.

Ok dont want to take out the captain in case my mom is riding with us but I tried it with the como RF drivers side, third row and first I had a very hard time getting it tight enough and second it was almost impossible to buckle her in with out climbing into the tail gate. Until a better idea comes around I am just going to have her FF in the como in the third row.

Then you can always fold the seat and flip it forward out of the way to allow access. Then you just climb in the car and buckle from inside.

What about putting older DD and DS in the backseat with one of the captains chairs folded forward for easy access to them and your younger DD RFing in the other captains chair.
