Hi All...I'm sure someone can help me. We are foster parents and we are getting 3 more kiddos 2 weeks from Friday! AHH! We just purchased a 2004 Pontiac Montana Extended minivan and I'm trying to figure out the best configuration and which new car seats to get. We currently have a FF almost 3 year old who sits in a True Fit.. We have another True Fit that I can use for one of them. Anyway, here are their ages.

4 year old boy...not sure on height or weight...I'm thinking about using a True Fit or getting a Graco Nautilus. He's tall and thin.
3 year old boy-30lbs..will keep him in a True Fit FF...
2 year old girl? True Fit or?
6 month old? I have an Evenflo Discovery but I hate it.

Suggestions on placement would be great too! Thanks for your help!

If you want an infant seat good options would be the Graco Snugride 32, Chicco Key Fit 30, and Safety 1st Onboard 35. If you plan on ever having very small infants (such as preemies) in your care the Key Fit and Onboard would be a better pick than the Snugride 32.

I wouldn't bother with a true fit for a 4 year old- it's possible if he's tall enough he won't even fit it. In addition to the nautilus the other HWH (high weight harness) seats I would consider would be a Britax Regent or Britax Frontier. The Regent, especially, will give you a very tall harness which will work well when it comes to flexibility- such as if you get an older child who cannot sit properly in a booster or if you get a child who is very tall or overweight.
