We have a 1996 VW Jetta and a 4 year old dd who is the proud owner of a new Britax Parkway. This past year we've started carpooling to preschool occasionally, and I always feel a little nervous about the arrangement of the carseats in the back of the Jetta. Most of our friends have minivans or SUVs with more room for extra kids. Since we're not having any more children ourselves, we don't plan to buy a larger vehicle, although we may get a Honda Prius in a year or two. We are talking about doing regular carpooling with 2 other families next fall.
What is the safest option for carting 2-3 kids in the back of a car like ours? They should all be in boosters by September. I'm willing to buy extra boosters, in consultation with the other parents. If 3 kids is unworkable or unsafe, we may need to buy a car with wider backseats a little sooner than we planned.
