Our son will be four next week and he is already tall enough to pass as a
lot older kid. Both my wife and I are tall, so its not a surprise about
our son. We had to move from a back facing seat at about four months
because he had no space for his legs (normally you move a child to front
facing at six months or older). We tried a Cherokee last year when we were
looking for something to buy, but didn't really notice that much more leg
space, just additional back doors for easy entry/exit. Oh well.. I'll
keep brainstorming.

Thanks,

Clamp a bar horizontally, across the vertical posts of the roll bar and
mount a pad on it at head level. As the boy grows, you can move it higher
up the roll bar to stay at head level.

Thanks, thats an interesting idea. I can probably make the clamps so that
they can be easily taken off when I do have to fold the seat in the back!
A good project for the upcoming long weekend here in NZ.
