My FIL has a 3500 Ram with the largest cab you can get on it. Seriously, we might be able to put 3 Regents across the back of it.
It has 2 3-seat benches in it, and I have not been in it in a *long* time, and cannot remember if the center seat is a lap/shoulder belt, or just a lap belt. It is a new truck (2-3 years old), and I just plain can't remember details. My girls typically do not ride in the truck.
However, my dh has cousins that have flown over from France to spend some time here in the States visiting family, and they are staying with my ILs. My ILs are willing to take 2 of my girls for sleepovers at various points in the week, and the debate is over which seats and where.
ILs have 2 PWs that my older 2 ride in with them. I will *not* allow them to ride in the front of the truck (my first inclination would be to put one up front, one in back, to make it more comfy for adults sitting next to them). However, if 2 adults are in the front, that makes the airbags impossible to turn off....so, no go.
However, if I put the 2 of them in the back, is the center seat a l/s, or a lap-belt only? I can only guess that they would want to put one booster outboard, the next one center, and adult outboard.
I think that we'll be sending the middle 2 (if the seats work out for it), which would be one booster rider and one RF 3y/o. If we send those 2, we can put the RF seat center, and no big deal, no worries over a lap-belt only installation.
Has anyone, as an adult, ridden in the front center seat? I can suspect that they will want to put one of the kids there (again, no way, no how).
Thoughts?
