How often do you have humanoids in the back seats?

[obscene_gesture]

My 3 yr old rides in a toddler car seat at least a few times a month.

I had my 1 yr old ride once in rear-facing car seat, but I don't recommend doing that unless the car seat is easily detachable from the base. Eventually, when she switches to a forward facing seat, I'll be able to use this as my "family" car.

I've only put adults in the back a few times and usually only the passenger side.

Once a week minimum, when I drop off the just turned 9 year old at Sunday school. Just measured him at 4'3". The front passenger seat is all the way forward, and he is in his booster (still) in the back.

With a passenger in the seat in front of him, maybe once a month and that's one time too many AFAIK.

And the backpacks (which are about as big as they are) go into the trunk.

Back when we were kids, what you packed to school was either carried in our pickets or on our hip, with a belt wrapped around it.

Now, Lord knows what all they have in their backpacks (and the school district issues 2 sets of books - one set for school, the other for school) .... so the packs aren't full of books!

At least, when and if, they get in the Army, they will be used to carrying a heavy pack .....

My grandsons need the backpack to carry their school issued tablets in. I don't think you will find a book in the place.

My girlfriend has a 1-year old so it gets used. I also have a 10 year-old brother and 12 year-old brother who hang with me so they definitely find use from me....actually one of the reasons I'm glad I picked this over the 370z, they car would leave me screwed in several recent instances haha.

Often enough. I'm not very tall and my parents are shorter than I am. If my sister comes along she's also shorter than me and my father. So I can actually use this car as a legitimate 4 seater. If the car didn't have the 2 seats in the back...I'd have to say its useless for my purposes and couldn't buy it hence why I never considered a MX-5 or a S2000 or even a recent Nissan Z. That's why I had to test drive it with my dad in the back.

Only complaint I get as a result is the awkward entry and exit...so if this car had a Mazda RX-8 freestyle door or some other suicide door type as an option I would've taken that.

My two sons (13 and 10) ride in the back seat pretty often. They especially like it when I take them to (or pick up from) school. We even went to lunch with my family and it was a funny sight to see four people getting out of my FR-S. It was much more fun than going to lunch with my wife's Honda Odyssey.

my drivers seat literally touches the rear seat. I've had my wife friend sit behind her in the passenger side but it was a tight fit, i now have the rear and trunk gutted so no more worries

In recent times with my daughter's increasing vocabulary, there may have been a few grumpy words exchanged. I want to believe it's nothing to do with leg space issues. Hopefully it remains that way!

I've done it a couple of times and surprisingly the passengers haven't complained a ton. Sometimes I think I'm more worried about their lack of room then they are. I know the driver seat is almost full forward

I have 2 adults in the backseat, but you have to have both fronts seat, up about 6 inches for them to put their feet under the seat. The backseat goes up high, so the only problem is leg room. Before I purchase the car I got in and out of the back seat four times to see if my back could handle it. 10 times front driver's seat.

twice a week. My oldest son is 5'11" and he has to eat his knees LOL while his brother, 5'9" squeezes in the back seat. It's only a 20 min drive so they can suck it up. I've fit 4 in the car before, my wife is 5' 4" so if we have to shoehorn in 4 of us, she's more than happy to ride in the back.

Works on the 14 year old but the younger one doesn't care.

Can someone remind me what we were talking about?
