Please share your car seat plans since you now have the same vehicle as I and we'll both need three car seats.
Does your Traverse have two bench seats or do you have the captain chairs in the first row? I have two bench seats. I'm honestly thinking the 2nd row will just stay down so I have plenty of trunk space for strollers, groceries, dogs, etc. For the first row I'm thinking of putting infant #1 (graco snugride 35) behind the driver, infant #2 (graco snugride 32) in the middle and JB behind the passenger. My logic is that I'll get the twins in the snap n'go (at least early on) and then can walk around to the other side of the car to let JB out and she'll walk (or get put on my back).
The only thing that I don't like is that there are no lower latch hooks in the middle seat. Everything I've read says that seat belt installation is just as safe as the latch but there is something I like about the metal to metal clipping. Anyway....what are your plans?
The girls' previous foster mom told us she bought one for little sister that we could have. Yeah... she bought it at a garage sale, then took it apart to clean it. SO- whatever we get for Big Sister we'll probably buy two. I'm just not sure how I'm going to get her into a rear facing seat in that back seat I honestly don't think I'll fit around it
I agree that RFing in the back would be near impossible. I've read of people doing it, mostly by laying 1/3 the back seat down and putting in the kid in from the trunk.
And with the right seats I think you can fit three across on the 1st row, but it will be tight. I'm going to have to trade in JB's big 'ol britax
