First impression and review of Demo Type S test drive -- as a father / everyday driver

[Azkyrie6]

It would only be possible to do this using latch in the middle of course, which has a weight limit. The latches are pretty wide on the outer seats so using them for the middle doesn't put them at a bad angle. First thought might be that this is a safety issue, but based on where the latches are I don't see it as one. Actually if you only had one baby seat to put in, I think putting it in the middle like this would be safer than on either edge.

Very excellent creative engineering work. Thanks for this!

Yeah it's pretty far back, but I think you could fit it with a less reclined seat. This is an infant one which is very horizontal. It would fit on the passenger side with the seat pushed moderately up.

3 Kids + Orchid Interior = You are one brave Dad!

Yeah he’s 50% more brave than me . Well, more than that because I put a waterproof layer and a firm cushioned layer under my 2 kids’ seats. They will only be allowed water in the ITS.

I toyed with the idea of getting the Acura pet seat cover and punching out some holes for the child seat anchors.

Great idea! I might do that!

Has there been any talk of which kid gets shipped to boarding school when #3 grows out of the rear-facing seat? I would assume it's the eldest, but ya never know.
