Question about three kids and minivans

[Anonymous]

We have an Odyssey with removable middle seat (captain chair on each side). For 3 across, just buy the narrow Diono Radian convertible for the middle seat. There are plenty of spaces on the captain chairs for other brands of car seat.

We have the baby and two year old in the middle row captain seats and the four year old in the back. I have to crawl all the way back to buckle her up. This is a PITA! What am I doing wrong? It takes a while and I'm squeezing myself back there. If you have three kids and a minivan how do you do this?

How is it hard to get to the back row in a minivan with captains chairs? There’s space between the chairs that an adult can easily bend a bit and walk through. Why are you “crawling” back there?

Are you able to do this with an infant car seat? Three convertibles, sure.

Yes 2 radians plus an infant works.
