    There is ample information on putting car seats three-wide in the Gen II, but I can't seem to find any information on a possible TWO seat combination that still allows the rear seat to fold down (and up). So one car seat behind passenger, one car seat in middle, and seat behind driver able to lay flat and function as a real seat for an adult as needed. Need one RF car seat and one FF car seat. Would prefer to put the RF in the middle so the adult can sit next to him (when needed).

    Got it. Reading about going three-wide in the back seat, I figured the only possible way it might work is with Radians. Found a smokin' deal on three Radians on CL. After dry fitting the seats, there was hope. Then after a couple days of cleaning, I threw the seats in and we spent Sunday afternoon driving around to several different valley locations. Worked pretty well. Raising and lowering the rear drivers seat definitely rubs, but it is doable. Will post some pics.

    Middle seat is rear facing and passenger-side seat is front facing, fyi. I think it would work flipping them too, but we needed to have the baby in the middle for ease of access.
