Would it be easier to have the RFing children on the outside and the FFing children in the center, so that the older 2 in Booster can get in and out easier?
It probably would be, I just was going on the center being the safest for the littlest.

LHarris--you'll have to pick up at least some of the carseats prior to a tech coming out there, so they have something to work with. Right now you have 5, almost 6, children who need seats and only one usable seat among them.
I'll put this out there to the Edmonton-area techs--I will cover your fuel costs and lunch if you're brave enough to make the trek out to see the OP and her family and help them out with the seat situation.

Just so you know--the TrueFit is on sale at Zellers this week for, I believe, $159.
The ball is in your court as far as what you think you're able to start purchasing now... and even without boosters initially, I would rather see the older kids move into the l/s belts (which costs nothing but a little bit of time..) since they spread the forces more evenly than the lapbelts.

I just wanted to double check that the boosters that you were given are high-back. I remember from earlier in this thread that none of the seats have head support, so I just wanted to verify that.
babychild taxi, I *think* that was one of the issues with boosters in this case. The low-cost $25 options are not a safe option here as they are all backless and the children would be left without any head support.
I get the feeling (sense) that you ladies are PASSIONATE about car seats. At first I felt very "put-upon" and "forced-upon". However, I guess I am learning about your passion. And that's great.
I am very glad that someone is passionate about car seats for our children, because there are so many of us that need to be educated. Please know that I am doing the best that I can with what I have and am working as quickly as I can toward the safest solution. The safest solution being everyone in current seats suitable for their size and weight, rear facing where necessary.
I really appreciate everything you've taught me already.
