Ok so the kids wanted to be outside today, and I needed to move seats around, and dh's car is here while he's overseas, so I had ALL my seats and plenty of time.
I fought the Regent into the 3rd row passenger side LBP. I swear it was like 1/8" too short but I bounced and pushed from the front and it clicked. I had dd try it out, and I actually have it 1 slot too high, she's a hair below when she sits up straight one lower, but a hair isn't going to be enough for me to fight the belt again.
So.. I have a 50/50 split, and almost NOTHING installs center because of the plastic thingies. I decided to play anyway. I've put a Scenara and Wizard there before, but I can't RF in that position and some of my seats just don't fit well.
I managed, by space, to get Regent/Como/Radian all FF, doing outboard RN and then Como center with a little wiggle. BUT when I took the RN out (that was a fight too) the Como was w/in acceptable 1" but not nearly my personal acceptable tight. And I think it's the plastic bits, not the tight squeeze, making it not fit.
Anyone live near me (Chicago area) with a 60/40 bench or a solid bench so I can play?
Anyone done 3 across in a Grand Caravan w/a Regent in the 3rd row?
The Como base sat nicely in there, and didn't mash into the shoulders of the Regent like the Wizard did.
Anyone have any other suggestions what to try? I have here:
Snugride
Scenara
2 RN 65s
Como
Wizard
I'm not really NEEDING to do this, but the weather is nice and I'm a glutton for punishment. I've done RN/Scenara/RN all FF before, that's almost too easy. I need the Regent back there because I need a LATCH'd seat on the captains chair driver so I can flip the whole seat forward (I could LATCH the Regent but not for very long) and I RF ds on the passenger captains chair.
I've had 5 kids in my van before, just a few times, and realistically it'll be more like 4 in there regularly, which is easy too. I ended up ripping out one captains chair tonight and putting it in the cargo because dd wanted "her" blush Como in the back row once she discovered that she can sit in the Regent and reach the cup holders.
