I think the correct ratio for front to back seat leg room according to passenger height is 5' 6" in front and 5' 6" in back.

Any taller and ratios get messed up and the math calculations turn into repeating decimals and stuff. I think that's what happened last time I tried.

Ratio didn't matter when the grandsons went at it! In fact the chaos that resulted was mathematically impossible.

Daily for me. My 2y.o. daughter sits back there every day. In her comfortably fitting baby seat.

There's a back seat?

Oh, yeah, now I remember. I put my seat down the day I got the car and have never raised it again. I ought to just delete it for the extra storage.

I've done it a few times. But I try not to, often from being scared of getting into an accident with someone back there

That picture is at least two years old! They must not still fit as well by now.

Always take my 2 year old daughter on a Recaro car seat with my wife in the passenger seat. The seat adjustment discussions have been undramatic so far.

Try it with a 14 year old and a 9 year old. Brothers!


I have to bring in a ref to deal with the seat position for every trip.





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

Daily, 3.5 year old and rear-facing 13 month old. I've gotten used to the headrest in my view.

Yep, that is an old picture.....

However, they both still fit, but without the car seats.

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 .....
