3 carseats one row

I'm shocked your oldest would still fit in that seat. Your seat belt will lock it may just have a locking latchplate instead of a retractor. Come to car seat safety and we'll help you figure it out. You may need to buy some new seats if you want them all in one row.

Ah the carseat puzzle.  I would probably just take it to a carseat inspection (around here they do them at the firehouses) and have them help you.  I'm pretty sure the safest would be to put the two smaller children in the middles of the middle and back seat, then put the oldest next to one of them.  If it makes it too hard to get them in and out, put the two smaller ones in the middle row and the oldest in the back row... my oldest is also 5 and can correctly put his seatbelt through his booster as well as buckle it himself, so having him in the very back row would be fine since he requires the least amount of help.  If yours isn't in a booster yet, he can probably still work a harness if he's taught how.  Good luck!

So far my oldest can get in the five point but has trouble getting out. What I just tried was the infant behind the passenger since rear facing requires the most room. The air booster behind the driver for the 2 year old. Then the oldest in the back in the Eddie bauer still in the five point. I figured I could move the seat with the air booster back and forth to let him in but once its installed the seat won't move so the five ear old has to climb through the middle. He thought it was pretty cool back there. I just got the 2 air car seats and the Eddie bauer is two ears old but blasts until 100 pounds and doesn't expire until 2018. My oldest has special needs, just a development delay and he has tantrums so having him in a five point is very important.

I've asked to join earlier today :)

Well, it sounds like you've pretty much figured it out (congrats on that... three carseats is pretty tricky!!!).  The getting out part was always hardest for our oldest as well when he was still in the harness too, but I think having him in the back is still the best since he can at least get in and out (after help with the buckle) without help whereas the younger two still need support with that.  Good luck!

I suppose I will have to make that arrangement work until the newborn would outgrow the infant and then I could squeeze them all in with the oldest in just a booster. So about a year and a half. Which is great because I won't have to do too much with all three since my oldest will take a bus to school. Shouldn't be too much of a hassle. We will have to start practicing the five point with my oldest before October :)

I am happy to hear that your 5 year old is still in a 5 point. My daughter is as well and will be until she is over the weight limit. It is the safest place for a child, no matter what the current law of different states say ( here in Florida you only have to buckle up an over 3 year old). I have seen some nasty accidents. I could only imagine how much worse they would have been if they involved a badly buckled child.

I have an Eddie Bauer and 2 Graco Nautilus in the back seat of my grand marquis.

I fully recommend the car seat group. Just keep in mind that you cannot borrow a latch anchor from the side seats for the middle, so unless your car has 3 sets of latch hooks you will have to use the seat belt to buckle in the middle seat.
I am not a tech, but there are ton in the CS group!
Good luck
