Re: 3 under 5....what is your car seat situation?

My oldest DD had just turned 5 and DD2 was 3.5 when #3 was born. I have a minivan--with a 3rd row, of course--so, I put the two girls in the back and the baby behind the driver. DD2 was still in a 5pt harness, so I placed her nearest the "aisle," so I could kneel in and buckle her easily.

I had the same ages but I have a truck with a third row.

I have the oldest in the 3rd and he was in a booster. The other two are in the 2nd row.

This layout works but most of the time I split the 3rd seat for trunk space and this allows for it.

Re: 3 under 5....what is your car seat situation?

I have 3- 4, 2 and 8 months.

I drive a Honda Odyssey (minivan)

DD1 is center 3rd row in a forward facing Graco Argos 70, DD2 is 2nd row driver side in a rear facing Graco MyRide 65, DD3 is 2nd row center (we took out the center console and moved the captain chair to the middle) still in her infant seat (Graco-obv rear facing).

DD1 has just started complaining about being all the way in the back so I may switch things around a bit.

Re: 3 under 5....what is your car seat situation?

I have a SUV and we have no third row. No idea how we are going to get three in a row. We are going to buy two Radian Dion car seats plus infant seat.
Hoping it will fit. Going tomorrow to buy them, I will let you know.
We are stuck in a lease for one more year.
