The time has come. My son has outgrown the Evenflo Maestro by weight. It's the only seat I have that fit in my narrow center seat without covering the outboard buckle stalks.
I carpool 9 and 12 year old sisters. The 12 year old is turning 13 next month. My back seat only has head restraints for the outboard seats so the girls have to sit in those seating positions if they're all back there. My set up was seat belt (12 yo)/Maestro/Cruz (9 yo). That needs to change now.
Even if the SecureKid would fit in the center, I'm not willing to shell out the money when my son has less than an inch of torso growth room left. We have a Nautilus and a Frontier 85. The Nautilus works if the girls shove it to reach the buckles. It makes things difficult and also means that the 9 yo would have to use a Literider instead of the Cruz.
Would you:
a) Deal with the Nautilus and use a Literider for the 9 yo (she seems much more comfortable in the Cruz)?
b) Put the 12 yo (almost 13) in the front passenger seat with the seat as far back as it goes? I would put my son's FR85 behind the passenger seat, installed LBP and tethered. The 9 yo would go behind the driver's seat (which is not all the way back) in the Cruz.
c) Make a suggestion that won't break the bank! I think the only thing that would fit in the narrow center seat without covering the outboard buckle stalks would be a bubblebum. I don't want my 5 year old riding in a NBB 5 days a week.
