I have the '05 Freestar with middle row sliding bench. Leila's Husky has been in the center of the middle -- usually back, but sometimes pulled up for her comfort (emotional and/or to prop feet on my armrest). So I was freaked out when she started asking to sit in the 3rd row & my reaction was to fold the 3rd row flat Didn't last long until she asked again & I replied that I didn't want her so far from me.
When I took her seat out to clean (I only do this seasonally unless there's a bodilly fluids disaster, LOL) she asked again -- so I tried it out. I installed the Husky in the center of the 3rd row & she sat in it -- now I know the 3rd row is designed differently than the front but I was SHOCKED that Leila's toes touch the floor while seated in the Husky She loved that! She's been complaining about her dangling legs for months & now they touch the floor *YAY* for her....
She refuses to move.
I don't like the middle row in the way.
I had a co-worker help me take it out & store it in the barn. I really do like the extra room we have now -- it is like a whole room of space available now for taking off coat & getting settled in warmly (no more muddiness on my front seatbacks now, too). But she's sooooo far away & now I'm starting to feel paranoid about the winter coming.
Please someone tell me that I haven't just increased our risk of crashing by having the weight redistributed like this? I didn't think of it before
