Bugger.... My rear facing wont sit next to the 6r olds booster in the middle row...
Problem I have with the middle row is I can't put a anchored seat on the passenger side as thats my flip forward seat to get to the back row (and there is no point for that seat)
I have a crab bar with 3 points for the back row & then driver & middle seats have points for the middle row.
So I will go pick up the seat I have on layby that is meant to be good for 3 across the back & hope I can configure that some how. I should be able to make it fit if i put the 2 yr old or maybe the 4yr old (depending on behaviour LOL) next to the baby instead & have the baby on the driver side as much as I would prefer not too but it just sits out too far to have a needing to be buckled child on the other side of it. They would have trouble getting past it & I would be able to at all.. I have a few options still up my sleeve I think. But hopefully it doesn't mean buying another booster thats more narrow to fit the 6 yr old as I really shouldn't need him on a high back for much longer.. Gah...
I guess though if I was prepared to pay $370 for the unity & im not going to, then I still have a little bit to play with to make sure everyone is in & safe...
Glad I looked now & not a week before the birth!
eta - Oh forgot to say before, I wil be baby wearing also which I didn't think of when thinking about how to buckle everyone in while holding bub LOL derrrr
I cant get my fear facer in the middle row either, so it has to the back row unfortunatly.. but i dont use dummies or bottles, so there isnt much I can do if bub was closer anyway, and was upset, except stop the car which is what I have always done.
Bub will have the 4 yr old next to him, so he'll be fine till I can get back there, I hope....
Yeah same here, no bottles etc. I do plan on trying a dummy this time round though as the others have all been so breast dependant when asleep they use me as a comforter while asleep & it was always hard to escape once asleep because as soon as the boob came out they woke up. So I thought stuff it, this time I am going to offer a dummy, I have too many little ones still to be stuck with my boob in the mouth of an otherwise sleeping baby LOL. Chances are he wont take it though LOL.
But even on the back row unless I give up my boot space I would have trouble getting everyone in as it would still be too far out to get around. hmmmm maybe I could just get a "smaller" capsule to try......
They certainly dont make many cars that accomodate lots of car seats!! Kids yes, but not car seats.. very annoying... I know I cant put the rear seat in the middle row, but I havent tried the back row yet, I assumed it will go... crap!! Bet it doesnt, and I'll have to shuffle again!!!
The compaq deluxe is very highly rated as a rear facing comvertible and is as it's name says one the most compact size wise for fitting in lots of seats together....maybe you go try a few out at the local babystore just for size....you ar not committted to buy from them...try them out, see what you like and then have a look online for the best deals...thats what I do. baby bunting down here has the best range of stuff so I go and look and try then I find out who has the cheapest price online.....it is never baby bunting!
There just isn't the stock up here though, thats my issue. I went to go get the seat in big w but its not going to be any better I think. Have to re think the whole thing I think. Its a pain in the butt
