Sorry for the long title LOL.
I was just wondering what the best practice would be before I try it out in my car.
Ages:
K 4, almost 5, 38 lbs
G 3 1/2, 36lbs
L 3, 35 lbs
A 2 1/2, 29 lbs
H 9 months, 25 lbs
Not sure of G, A, and H's torso heights at the moment, but they all fit in sceneras in mom's car.
Available seats:
2 Radians (RF to 33 lbs)
2 Marathons (RF to 33 lbs)
1 Nautilus
Will get different seats if needed.
The catch? It is a 6 passenger car. 1993 Buick LeSabre. 3 seat belts in the front seat, three in the back seat. Front middle seat will be difficult to fit a seat in, very narrow spot and it needs to be a lower profile seat so it isn't in the way for the driver. This would be used just to get all of the children home 2 days a week, and one day will drive K to dance and then home.
The other 2 weekdays we will be putting the 5 children in a trailblazer with a third row (if my husband has a second shift job or his classes end up overlapping mine).
Backstory? One of the girls I work with has three children. Her and hubby are on the rocks. Hubby is refusing to watch the children while she goes to night classes. It is over halfway through the semester, and there is no one else to watch her children. My hubby is jobless and I told him not to turn down a 2nd shift job at this point, because she offered to help me out as well (our classes are on opposite nights). Of course no one could find me a van so I have to make do with what I have. The '93 LeSabre. I know it is not best practice to have any of the children up front, but I was figuring K outboard front FF, G middle front FF. L middle back FF, and A and H RF outboard back. A and H currently ride FF, but I am working on mom, and for now she has agreed to let me try them RF in my car. I will NOT let H FF in my car no matter what, but if A has trouble I will turn her.
