I know what I am doing and it wont be influenced by this thread. I'm just wondering what other techs & advocates think. My wheels have been spinning since Julies blog.
DS is 5 years old and 57 pounds (without winter clothing, etc). He can either sit in the third row in a HBB ParkwaySG. I measured from the PKWYSG headrest to the back of the seat in front of him and he has 25 inches of clearance straight forward. The third row has side curtain airbags. On his right is a Nautilus.
The other choice would be center of the second row in a LiteRider LBB between a RF convertible / Nautilus sandwich. I measured from the headrest to the back of the drivers seat to be 34 inches. There is nothing in front of him but the center console, a little lower than his knees.
Because it's relevant, the lap belt fit is better in the LR than in the PKWYSG but the shoulder belt rides close to his neck in the LR.
He hasn't fallen asleep in the car since he was 3.
Not the best picture in the PKWYSG because I wasn't planning on starting this thread. And like I mentioned, I am doing what I am comfortable with and expect I know most everyones answer. I am concerned about the minimal clearance between the third and second row. For a visual, he has to turn his feet sideways so I can fold the 2nd row back up.
