We have two Vehicles. A 06 Buick Rainier and a 2000 Subaru Legacy.
We currently have two children a 5.5 year old and a 2.5 year old.
In the Rainier our 5.5 year old rides in a harnessed Nautilus and our 2.5 year old in a FFing Truefit.
In the Legacy our 5.5 year old rides in a Turbo Booster (it's our second and very seldom used car and we wanted to slowly Booster train her) and our 2.5 year old rides in a FFing Scerena.
Starting pretty quick I will also be doing care for 2 other kids a 2.5 year old girl and a 14 month old little boy. The Rainier can comfortably fit two carseats side by side and a full size adult in the back, so I am sure I can fit 3 seats side by side but I haven't tried it with anything but a booster yet. I was planning on putting my 2.5 year old in her sisters nautilus, and then the other 2.5 year old in the Scerena and getting another Scerena and RFing the 14 month old (I don't know if parents RF or FF him but he will RF in my car).
But the question is what to do with my 5.5 year old. I know that the front isn't the best spot. The Rainier has the weight sensitive air bag sensors. I can't turn them off manually.
Until the end of May my Dh can drop her off at his families Daycare and they can take and pick her up from school... But after that I will have to take her to school.
We need the legacy at the moment and selling it is going to be really tough as it was in a small accident before we bought it and was just in another at the begining of the year. I think the insurance company should have written it off but they choose to fix it. We don't really have extra money *right* now to put into a new to us vehicle once we sell the legacy. But most likely by Summer vacation we will be able to have more than enough saved and add to sell the legacy, and buy a half decent van.
Fitting three across is pretty much a no go in the legacy and I can't turn off that airbag either.
Do we see what we can get just by selling the legacy and not saving up extra or do we try and squeak by with DD5.5 in the front in her booster for a month or two?
