okay, so through a series of unfortunate events we are down to one car. It was our spare car for Jake to drive to and from work, and wasn't picked with the intention of putting carseats in it, but now we have no choice. It's an old chevy Blazer
Basically we have 3 spots for carseats. 1- front passenger seat (no airbags), 2 and 3 - back bench seat. No shoulder straps, no headrests, but there is a spot to attach an anchor strap. (only one spot for an adult, sucky)
we have 2 forward facing children in Radians and one rearfacing in a cocorro. Only 2 doors, so you have to fold forward the front seat to get into the back.
What would be the best seating positions? Right now I installed them with the 2 radians in the back and the cocorro in the front, since I figure the safest carseat is the rearfacing one. Is that the best option? Or would it be better to put Courtney in a booster (which I think she would be okay with - she's 5y7m 42ish lbs) or the radian in the front seat? The front seatbelt fits a little funky with the cocorro and I'm not totally happy with the install. It would probably install better in the back... The front seatbelt is weird and I'm not sure I could satisfactorily install the radian either. The lap portion and the shoulder portion lock independently of each other and I can't get the shoulder part to lock on it's own (only locks when you pull hard and fast)
