[Papooses]

Which booster? My Ford Escape had less hip room, but I could fit 2 Britax convertibles with the Parkway booster -- tight 3 across situation, but the lack of armrests on the Parkway allowed for easy buckling....

The newer headrests which cannot be removed is helping to reduce risk of spinal injury to adults who don't understand the importance of head support, but it is causing some carseat incompatibility issues I've only heard specifics on the new Jeep, but I'll ask about the Fords as well.

What is each child's age, weight, height
(just in case there may be need for different seats)

	Convertible Car Seats Convertible seats are for infants and toddlers. The seat can be used as a rear-facing seats for younger children, and switched to a forward-facing seat on the child's first birthday if the child weighs at least 20 pounds. However, experts recommend keeping the child in a rear-facing position until he or she outgrows the weight or height allowed by the safety seat.

	Booster Seat A booster seat raises your child up so that the car's lap and shoulder belts fit correctly. The lap belt should fall across the upper thighs. The shoulder belt should go across the middle of the shoulder and chest. A booster seat is used for older children up to about 80 pounds. Some states have passed laws requiring booster seats for children up to age 8 or 80 pounds. Check your state's law.

It's one of the only boosters to offer True Side Impact Protection - the EPS foam-padded headrest and side "wings" aren't just great for naps, they're engineered to provide vital protection to your child in the event of a side-impact crash. (Side-impact crashes are the leading cause of death for children ages 6-14, making this an issue of major importance for booster seats.)
