Aftermarket Passenger Seat to Enhance Leg Room for Wife and small daughter?
I should have started here and not the Reddit GR86 group (bunch of whiny Honda-Civic-Forum-bitches up in there, but I digress). Our 4 year old daughter loves to ride in the back in her Diono Radian 3R car seat. But, this if my wife wants to tag along, we were able to get the seating position comfortable for both people ONCE . Rather than praying she gets the exact position correct again (because she doesn't have the patience), will a slim profile aftermarket passenger seat be able to let her sit farther in the pocket of the seat, or should I just "buy a family vehicle" like the bitches on reddit were so helpful recommending? We love our GR86, I'm not selling it for a Prius (despite they actually look cool with the latest model year).

Are you willing to compromise on the safety of the car?
Aftermarket seats will necessarily get rid of the passenger front seat airbag |

Although.... do you mean there's an airbag within the seat itself? If there's an airbag within the seat, then yes we can eliminate that in favor of both passengers having proper leg room. |

As for airbag, folks meant the side impact airbag which is a part of the seat. You can transplant the occupancy sensor to an aftermarket seat and put a resistor on the airbag connector to avoid an airbag light. This should preserve the function of the front impact airbag. |

is this your only car? A fair bit of compromises made in order for a seat swap IMO
