Frontier in 2008 Dodge Caravan

I searched the site but couldn't seem to find actual answers.

Will a FR 85 work in the 3rd row of a 2008 dodge grand caravan sxt and still leave legroom? I just sold my daughter's radian and bought her a cow frontier. I'd really like to leave one of the captain's chairs empty for easy access to the 3rd row.

If there's not enough legroom with it behind a captain's chair, could you move it to the seat behind the captain's chair that you took out?

With some work, it may work...but the FR85 outboard third row tends to loosen up over time, so make sure you check installs regularly. And use long belt path since there are no outboard tether anchors. TT is required after 65 lbs on the 85. For the record, it installs beautifully in the captains chairs. :)

As far leg room goes, depends on where you have your capt chair adjusted to.

I am leaving the empty captains chair in, since we will often drive my mom with us to family events, just wanting to leave it empty so there's more room for DD to climb into the back.

I thought about moving my son's radian to the 3rd row and having a RF myride back there next to a RF radian, but I don't know if I could RF tether to the 2nd row?

Does anyone think the FR will be able to be installed in the LATCH position in the 3rd row next to the outboard RF myride, or is the FR too big?

You can RF tether in the 3rd row to the captains chair anchor if that anchor is unused.

I don't have experience with those particular side-by-side installs in the 3rd row, so you may just have to try it and see what you get. I do know that the Radian install relatively hassle-free in the 3rd row RFing.
 
Our frontier arrived yesterday, and installed pretty darn easily in the 3rd row of our caravan, in the off-center LATCH spot, next to a RF myride that is installed w/ seatbelt outboard.
DD loves it! She took the seat out of the plastic herself, and immediately sat in the seat and starting mooing, which is nice because she acted pretty upset when we sold her flora radian to friends for their 10 month old.
