We're thinking about a Suburban (again ). We had initially thought we'd do captains chairs in the second row, but now I'm wondering if a bench would make more sense.
This wouldn't be our everyday vehicle for the most past, but would be used for trips. Eventually we expect that we'll be traveling quite a bit, so while it won't be our "all the time" car, it will be an "a lot of the time" car.
Currently I have DS1 in a booster. DD and DS2 are RF.
If we got captains chairs, DS1 would go in the third row. I don't love it back there. He looked a bit squished, but he also didn't complain (we only went on a short test-drive though). Having him back there means he woks have to duck under a rear-facing seat to get in and out of the car. However, in another year or so, DD will be FF, and then he won't have to duck anymore, so it would be temporary.
Having the bench means DS1 could still sit in the third row if he wants, although there wouldn't be open space in front of him. It also means we could put him in the second row and utilize the extra space in back for gear and whatnot. But then I have to load someone in the middle by reaching over another seat, and that's kinda a PITA.
So... What would you do?
