I'm confused about what you're asking. Are you wanting to put the FR in the centre and to make sure that you clear the outboard seat so that it can still move freely? I'm not sure that knowing the width of the captains chair will tell you that.. If I remember correctly, it rubs but it can move past it--maybe someone who currently has that setup can comment on their experience, as well.
ETA--are you expecting a fifth child? Why not just leave your centre seat flipped and have your big kids climb through?

Are you adding baby 6 to the mix?
I have DS's FR85 installed with LATCH (he and the seat are under the limits) on the passenger side captains chair in our '14 Ody. The seat is not in wide mode. Using the "correct" lever for flipping the chair to gain access to the third row doesn't work and sliding the seat forward on its track does not allow enough room for even my little kiddos to climb through. BUT, what does work is to use the lever to flip the seat forward from the front floor hinge. It's more cumbersome to do, and may be too heavy for a child to do, but its possible. We took my sister and her fiancée and my parents to dinner last weekend and used every seat I the van. Three adults climbed into the third row this way because it was too cold for me to move my kids seats around. HTH!
Thank you very much Jordansmom!! This is very helpful!! I'm glad to know that it's possible!! Just out of curiosity, what carseat do you have on the +1 seat?
