hello
can someone tell me what would be the best configuration and which carseats/boosters for a 2013 grand caravan?
i have 4 kids, two in boosters and two in 5pt harness. my youngest is 18 months going on 19months and in a RF chicco nexfit zip Captains chair behind passenger.
My oldest is in captains chair behind driver in a graco connext. she isnt tall enough to sit with out one. She has a 16 inch short torso from shoulder to bottom. she is going to be 11 years old in the 6th grade in August.
My second daughter is almost 9 yrs old on may 25th but she is super short, short torso. (dont know measurements) she is using a Graco Turbobooster with out the back. Model number 1770586!
she sits in the back side 3rd row behind captains chair and behind passenger. the seat sits weird too. My son is in the middle 3rd row using a Diono FF, He is 5 yrs. we have 1 spot left and its on his side behind my oldest where she sits in captains chair. she sits the BEST there. this is why i moved her in captains chair because her booster sits just perfectly, her seat belt lays on her chest just great too.
the problem is we have no room for a 5th child. My husband wants my oldest out of a booster. He knows all our kids are short (so are we) but he said to me No 5th kid if i dont sacrifice something. either buy a ugly big van that seats 10 (which we dont need or want) or no more kids period.
The cars we have looked at are the Dodge Durango, Honda Odyssey, Toyota Sienna ( i dont like ) Toyota Sequoia, Honda Pilot, Nissan Rogue that seats 7, Nissan Armada, Nissan Quest, Dodge Journey.
One thing that is making us getting another car is that our van has No AC or Heat in the 2nd and 3rd rows... My kids are literately sweating there behinds off during the summer months. we live in a very hot dry area.
