In the past - with 3 small Kids - I've stored the seats regulary in my cellar.Only took them into the car if I really need them. 2-3 times a year.

Now it has changed. The Kids ar 9, 9 and 12. If I take them to school or to sports, birthday parties etc. it is usual to have seat 6 and 7 in the car. So I'm able to take the friends of my kids with us, even if the situation is unexpected.

But fold the seats to be planes in the trunk.

Normally the space in the trunk is enough just with the folded seats in to take 4 cases ogf water or beer. Why not store some things like shop.bags etc on the back of the folded seats?

So I'm prepared for every situation.

Just going to holidays I put the seats out!

BTW:

@miguelto: Congrats to your 3 th! You are a lucky one!

I only use 2-3-0 with 3 small kids, because it was easier to get on the middle seat than on the seat on 3th row.
