Vans and Children seating arrangement? (Twins + Toddler)

Right now we have the twins in their infant carriers in the back seat.  Since they only go  up to 22lbs and they are both give or take a few oz 19lbs we are going to look at getting another convertible seat and get Maddie a FFing harnessed booster.  The girls are so heavy in their seats that I can't hoist them up enough to get them in the back seat anymore.  Since the back seat is so narrow I don't think I could get both girls in their convertible seats rearfacing in the back.  What did you do when the little ones got too big and what is the seating arrangement for twins + toddler?

 

TIA!

    i would not put your toddler in a booster at that young age - it might not even be legal in your state.  I will only have my toddler in a 5 pt harness regular convertible car seat - they are MUCH safer.  He is forward facing, in the 3rd row of our minivan - and the twins are rear facing in the middle row- still in their infant seats- but about to move them to convertible seats still in the middle row.

    We plan on having DS in one captains chair, the other is folded down, and the twins will go in the back.  We've decided on this arrangement (tentatively since we're not in the situation yet) so that I can "walk" to the back to put the twins in.  If we had them in the captains chairs, I'd have to squeeze between them to get DS in the back.

    Goldie:  We are looking at a 5 pt harness to booster seat, not just a booster seat.  I want something that will grow with her. 

     

    I am just looking to see what bigger infant seating arrangements are since the twins are in need of convertible seats.  Since we have captains chairs in the middle I can't have both babies in the front rear facing.  I think my only option will be to put one baby in the back, one in the capatin and Maddie in the back seat.  Leaving the one captain seat in the stow n go.

    Right now DD is in the captains seat in her convertible carseat and the twins are in the third row in their infant seats. The other captain seat is stowed for easy access to the back to put the babies in. Once the babies graduate to convertible seats they will each go in a captains seat and DD will go in the back seat in the middle. That way she can see the babies which she likes and it is easy for us to strap the babies in rear facing since they are by the doors.
