Carseat Dilema

Is your 3 year old still small enough to use a 5pt harness booster? perhaps one like this that goes to 65 lbs: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0011URFRE/?m=ATVPDKIKX0DER Then you should be able to use the lap belt safely to hold him in the miggle and the baby can go behind the passenger, the 6 year old behind the driver. Just a suggestion is all- I don't know what you can or can't afford, but this seems like the least expensive, safe option. Hope that helps! ~J.

Hi Wendy, put your 6 year old in a booster set, they are much smaller that a car seat. J.

Your 3 year old actually be safer in a 5 pt harness anyway. He could then be in the middle and you should be able to see over him. The one the pp linked would work great.
The longer you can keep kids in a 5 pt harness the better.

Read this one to learn about the benefits of keeping your child rear facing in their car seat for as long as possible. 2 and 30 is the new 1 and 20!

I have 3 kids and I am familiar with the wall of carseats. We use a rear-facing 'bucket' carrier for our 7 m.o., a standard carseat for our 2yo, and a backless booster seat for our 4yo. The 4yo sits in the middle. Fortunately, our middle seat has a shoulder & lap belt. Is it possible to get a shoulder belt installed in your car?

Maybe you can get your car fitted with a camera which will allow you to see out the back. It might be pricey, but probably cheaper than getting a new car. I babysit a family with three boys, ages 4, 19 months, and 3 weeks. The parents went car shopping last week and told me there are some great deals on used Ford Expeditions, I guess lots of people are trading in their big SUVs for smaller cars.
