Thanks for the suggestion, but he is outgrowing the high back booster seat
he is on. Our son is tall for his age and is beginning to outgrow
(heightwise) all the seats we have looked at as replacement. Thus my
question. I was even thinking about the possibility of having two front
seats mounted in the back? Would/could they fit? We don't need to fold
the back seat. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks
TW

I used to think I wouldn't need more rear leg space in my TJ too, then my son
started growing like a weed. ;-) He's as tall as his mom and shows no sign of
slowing down anytime soon. I've actually toyed with the idea of selling the TJ
and building a Cherokee just for the added leg room.

Regards,
Dean
