We are buying a second car, and I wanted to have carseats in there also (I have 4, 2, and one on the way). Which means I'm now thinking of getting a 3 new carseats. I want something that is safe and comfortable for a long trip and ease of napping.
From what I read, the best seats for my 4 year old (40 lbs, 43") will be Husky, the best seat for my 2 year old (30 lbs, 35") will be Wizard or Marathon. Now, for my newborn, I am thinking of getting a Marathon or Wizard after she outgrows her infant carseat (probably around 4 months or so, I have big babies). Here is the catch: I would really prefer to have all 3 in a 2nd row of either SUV or minivan with 3 rows that we are buying. It seems that it is impossible to fit 2 marathons (FF and RF) and Husky in a row. Am I correct?
If so, what should I do, put one child in the third row, or buy different seats? How unsafe is it to have my 4 year old in a booster (such as Britax Bodyguard or Graco Turbobooster) compared to a 5 point parnessed seat (Husky)?
