We have a 2006 Dodge Ram. We are a family of six with kids ages 7, 5.5, 2.5, and a 7 month old. We live in California where they recently changed the car seat law to:
California Law (Effective 01/01/2012):
Children under the age of 8
*OR*
under 4 feet 9 inches in height must be secured in a car seat or booster seat.
Additionally, children under age 8 must be secured in the back seat.
We want to go on a trip over the kids spring break and normally we take our truck because my vehicle will not hold us and all our stuff. What I want to do is put a harnessed forward facing car seat in the front middle of our truck. The front middle only has a lap belt so it's really not good for anything else. Everyone else will be in car seats in the back. Any thoughts?
Thanks for your help.
