My friend and I are taking 5 of her dance students to a dance competition 4 hours away this weekend (2 are mine). We have:
2 13 year olds- both 5 step
2 almost 9 year olds (one will be 9 at the end of August, one the beginning of September)- need boosters (nbb or hbb)
7 year old- was going to use her Nautilus but can use a booster (not ideal)

We are taking my 2011 Odyssey. I was going to have:
driver-----------passenger
Nautilus-seatbelt-seatbelt
Monterey--------Monterey

My friend broke her foot this morning (!!!?!) and needs to have her foot propped up (and can't drive- it is the right foot). She needs to have the seat in front of her folded down so we have to totally rearrange the car. Either of the 13 year olds can sit in the front if necessary but I prefer not to. I can put friend in the 2nd row passenger captains chair or the 3rd row behind a captains chair. I have to figure out how to fit all these kids!

We have:
2 hb tbs (7yo or one of the 8yos can fit)
3 nbtbs
3 literiders
2 Montereys
Nautilus
Frontier
Radian
Maestro
Compass booster

We will have every seat full, I prefer friend in a captains chair but haven't checked if the front seat can be folded. This way, the kids don't have to ride in front. But I have to fit 3 in the back and the Radian doesn't like to be FF in the middle.
I have both 8yos and the 7yo tomorrow so I can play with seats and check belt fit. I would love any ideas that I can try so I know where to start.
