Ok, we are about 95% sold on a VW Routan. I have twin boys that just turned 6 and are almost to the last slot on their Regents (torso about 17in), they are 48.5in tall and 43lbs. We are planning to keep them in their Regents for our main source of travel but we are planning to get new boosters so we can begin booster training and so they can eventually transition to a booster.
We are planning to put the Regents in the 2nd row captains chairs in the Routan. But we would like to put them sometime in the third row...does the Routan have 2 TAs in the 3rd row? Does anyone know how this mini-van is on safety compared to the Honda or Hyundai or Sienna? Has anyone had any carseat trouble in the Routan?
Now about Boosters...has anyone used or tried the new Keyfit Strada Booster? If so how does it fit a child with specs of my boys (see above)? Does it latch?
What are the best HB latchable boosters for boys with broad shoulders? My boys are skinny but have wide shoulders which is why we went with Regents over the Frontier and the Nautilus. What booster would fit them best? Are any boosters latchable that would fit the boys and fit in the Routan?
Thanks for your help!
