Sam is now 41in and 37.8(!!!)lbs. Quite a growth spurt over the past few months! He will be 4 in August. I drive a 2002 Dodge Caravan (latch limit 65lb combined weight), and up until now he has been RF in an RXT, installed with latch in the captain chair driver's side.
Since 65-27=38, we're pretty much at the limit of the latch system (if you feel it applies to Canadian vehicles) and the Radian is just plain incompatible with seatbelt in the 2nd row captain's chairs, RF or FF. My seat cushions are really compressed and the buckle stalk is past the belt path even without tightening the belt, it's a forward leaning fixed stalk.
I'd much prefer to keep him RF, as he sleeps well and doesn't seem to mind at all.
My options, I suppose, are:
-RF in the Radian in the 3rd row OB (loading is a pain)
-FF in the Radian in third row (centre, so my oldest two would in the capt chairs, I am picturing the fighting now, lol)
-ignore the latch limit and keep RF where he is? There is debate about whether the latch limits apply to UAS in Canadian vehicles, since it is a US publication.
-new seat and FF in 2nd row? I want a pinnacle, but it won't be out here for a little while.
So WWYD?
