I no longer covet my friend's Traverse

When my BFF first got her 2010 Traverse, I was jealous! I loved it! Today, we tried to go together with 4 kids in it. It was a no-go and we ended up in my Explorer.

Our seats:
SR32
RF TFP
FF TF
Regent.

I thought at first that I'd just put my 2 in the 3rd row (RF TFP and FF TF) and let her keep her kids in the captains seats where they were. I could not wedge the RF TFP in the 3rd row at all, even with the middle row seat push all the way forward and sitting straight up. Then we thought we'd put the 2 FFers in the 3rd row. I realized AFTER we unbuckled the Regent that there was only 1 TT anchor and it was in the center. Her son is 60lbs, so must use a TT in the Regent, and with it center, the TF (or anything else) wasn't going next to it.

So, we moved to my Explorer, where the 2 FFers went in the 3rd row, both TT'd, and the RFers side by side in the 2nd row with the seat folded so we could get the boys in and out. I never imagined I would have an easier time in my car than hers!

How did you get seats RF in the third row of your explorer? I've only tried the radian and MR, but neither fit in mine.

We didn't! The FFers were in the 3rd. They could go there because there are 2 TT anchors back there, but there is only 1 in the 3rd row of the Traverse, and that in the center.
