Assuming your wife also has a vehicle, why not just take both cars for the short drives. With the children safely in carseats / seatbelts.

I don't think that you can do what you want to legally, because it seems that Texas passed a law requiring all backseat passengers to wear seatbelts in fall 2009.

If you plan to go "old school" and fit 6 people in your CRV anyway, consider a way to do it which leaves an adult rather than a child unbelted. You may be able to make it work if one kid is 5 or older. If a child is 5 or older, they can ride in the backseat with a regular seatbeat until June 2010. A law has been passed requiring booster seats for kids under 9 but only warnings will be issued until June. If both kids require seats, then I think it will be physically impossible.
