DH currently owns an '09 Jeep Liberty. We currently have 2 Montereys, LATCH'ed outboard, and a RF CCO in the center. It is *tight*. The CCO will not fit FF once it's time to switch. I don't think the RN will, either. He's been looking at larger vehicles for a few months and I thought he had decided on a Ford F150 or Toyota Tundra CrewMax. Wrong.
He's come across a new Jeep Patriot that will basically be an even trade with no out of pocket $$ involved (we own the Liberty outright) and he thinks it's a great deal. 1). I don't like the Patriot in general. 2) The headrests are ridiculous. 3) I don't know how in the world we will do 3 across safely since it's smaller than the Liberty (he says the specs have the backseat measurements more generous than the Liberty - I don't see how).
I think it's a stupid idea. In fact, I *know* it's a stupid idea, but I can't quite convince him.
Also, if anyone has any pros/cons to this vehicle, I'd appreciate.
TIA.
So...is it even possible to do 3 across in the Patriot? Keeping the Montereys outboard because I am not interested in replacing them (I love the fit on my big kids)?
