Puzzling Database

This is an idea in progress, I want to see a) if anyone else feels it would be usable, and b) if anyone is willing to contribute. If it's viable, I am happy to head it up (unless someone else wants to,) as long as no one minds me doing it at a snail's pace. :p

I've long thought that we should have some sort of a what puzzles well with ___ list, but the more I think about it, the more it should almost be a table. A table with photos and measurements would be even better.

I am envisioning something like a basic website, where you select what you want to puzzle, and with what type of seat -- like, select "FF Radian" and then select "infant seat." That pulls up a list of infant seats, with photos and measurements.

What I'm thinking is a 1-3 photos of the puzzle (maybe an overall, a closeup, and then any sort of exception/detail shot if necessary... fewer is better if it tells the story) and then measurements: Seats' individual widths, seats' puzzled overall width, seats' puzzled width at seat bight. So, for example, since I know it well -- Rear-Facing Radian and Rear-Facing MyRide. Individually they are 17 + 20" at their widest points, so 37" but puzzled together they are maybe 33" wide at their widest point (child's shoulder area) and just 26" wide at the seat bight.

Would this prove useful to anyone? Would anyone be willing to contribute photos and measurements? Are there any add'l measurements or suggestions anyone has for this type of project?

I think it sounds great. Would it be possible to account for puzzling differences like a raised center seat vs flat bench?

Great idea. It would also be a good idea to list the average seat length/width so the seat's puzzled together, added up can be then visualized in someone's car. I hope that makes sense

It's possible -- just an extra set of data to look for, do seats a and b puzzle with both rf, both ff, A RF and B FF, A FF and B RF, now repeat the whole thing on a different style bench -- kwim? So two data sets from each pair of seats... but it could easily be a checkbox, "raised seat, lowered seat, same-level seat," just not sure how to implement it?

Jess, are you talking about front-to-back depth? Or can you give me an example? I'm a bit unsure what you're talking about.

Does anyone else have any input? I can try to come up with a list of seats/combos tonight & tomorrow since I'm off for the holiday and see if I can come up with some sort of format for submitting info.

I would LOVE this! I have been tearing my hair out trying to figure out different seats to puzzle in my van. Having a database would be awesome :)

My dad had the idea of making an app for this. If there was an organized database, I'm sure he could do it.

An app would be awesome!

I should have some time this weekend - I'll try to draft something up. If anyone with more time wants to take over (or buddy up,) let me know. On the plus side, I should have much more time after next week :)
