I used to be a CPST. I know how to install and pick seats, but my third row is giving me issues and I am not sure what to try next. I have five kids in my vehicle for now.
Seats and kid stats are:
9 yo, 62 lbs, 53.5 inchest tall, Incognito or Harmony youth booster
7 yo, 52 lbs, 48-50 inches tall (I can't remember his exact height), Harmony youth booster
5 yo, 42 lbs, 41-43 inches tall, Recaro Performance booster
4 yo, 38 lbs, 38-40 inches tall, Britax Pinnacle 90
9 mo, 18 lbs, 29 inches tall, Britax Marathon 70 RF.
I have tried three across the center row using the Probooster, MA70, and Pinnacle, but it didn't work out. The MA70 came unbuckled when my son unbuckled his booster.
I tried the Pinnacle in the center third row with a lbb on each side, but they couldn't buckle.
I put the 5 yo and 7 yo in the third row and the other three in the second, but I can't reach over the second row to buckle the 5 yo. His booster is too wide for him to buckle himself.
My last idea was to put the 5 yo in an Evenflo Sureride on the passenger side third row to give easier access to the seat belt buckles for the booster riders, but that spot doesn't have a top tether anchor.
Before I buy the Sureride, I guess I need to know if it will fit in the center third row?
If not, I am open to suggestions on very budget friendly seats for the 5yo. Or if anyone knows what I can do with my current seats. Thanks!
