Just want to make sure that each of my kids is the safest they can possibly be. My 6yo dd is 46in and about 42lbs - she sits FF in a Graco Nautilus, she's still using the 5 point harness. My 4yo dd is 39 1/2in and about 32lbs - she also sits FF in a Graco Nautilus using the 5 point harness. My 21m old dd is 34in and about 22lbs - she sits RF in a Graco Comfort Sport. My 3 1/2 week old ds is a little over 11lbs and sits in a hand-me-down Graco infant seat. This is the first time we've ever used an infant seat, all of the girls started out in a RF convertible seat, so the infant seat is new to me.
My questions are...
1. Does the handle on the infant seat need to be in a certain position when in the car?
2. When will my 6yo outgrow the 5-point harness and need me to convert the Nautilus to the high back booster?
3. Why can I not use the top slots on the ComfortSport when it's RF?
4. Where do I find out the weight limit for our vehicle when using lower harness attachments?
5. When are kids too big to RF? 3? 4? I turned my #1 and #2 girls around too soon. I've kept #3 RF longer but it's getting difficult to keep her that way now that we've have completely filled up our Kia Sedona and can't find a good arrangement for the seats in the van. We are just not fitting well in there.
TIA for the tips and advice!!!! Much appreciated!!!!
