So I realize the actual safety difference is probably negligible, but I've been going back and forth as to which kid should sit in which seat...
Stats:
DSD2 - 4 yrs old, 42#, approx 16" torso
DSD3 - 2.5 yrs old, 36#, approx 16" torso
DSD2 is taller, but is all legs; DSD3 is shorter and a little chunkier, but all torso, so torso-wise, the pretty much fit the same in every seat.
I have GN and RN, both seatbelt installed.
GN center, no tether.
RN outboard, tethered.
The RN will not install center with enough room for the GN outboard, so this is my only option for seating location.
I can't switch the kids back and forth between seats without uninstalling due to the safe stop issue, so each of them needs a dedicated seat so I know what to do with the safe stop.
Normally, I'd like the heavier kid in the tethered seat, and the least protected (youngest FF) kid in the center. But for some reason I'm leaning toward DSD3 in the RN and DSD2 in the GN. Thinking that maybe the safety of the tether plus the safe stop on the outboard seat kind of balances the safety of the fact that the other seat is in the middle... I don't know.
Who would you put where?
