hmmm... maybe we need a new dedicated thread for this.
 
How about - Child Car Seats that Fit or
Air bags: are they safe for children & children in car seats?
 
Those pretty much cover the topic.

Thanks for the suggestions. How heavy is the third row seat in the Chrysler? Can one person remove it easily?
 
I did check out the MPV but didn't like how it drove-weird for a mazda. I haven't driven a GM-I'm thinking there is more usable space in the Chryslers?

I don't know about the newer ones but, damn, the third row seat in our '96 T&C was a heavy mother. I'm a big guy and seem to recall that the first time taking it out myself was the last.

Afraid of that. Bummer. I'm just a average lady-probably couldn't handle that. That means I'd have to look at '05+ for the fold flat third seat.
 
Hey, did your '96 have the ability to take the third row and move it to the second row so you can sit three, after removing the second row seats? I thought I read that somewhere...

My folks '89 could do that. We would pile all the mtn bikes in the back and move the 3rd row seat to the second row and the 5 of us would head to the trails.

The '03 has a split bench that sits 2 on a seat and 1 on the other so it is not too heavy. I just back up to the garage and drop it on the floor.I think a woman could do it, but I would not want to do it every day.
 
My wife did not like the Mazda for that reason also. She said it was too narrow.

No, I don't believe that it did have the ability to fit into the second row - it was on rollers.

Is the '03 the first year of the split bench? That may work.
 
I think at this point I'm leaning towards the '05-it won't be loaded but it's more than I have now (nothing). At least I won't be stuck at home everyday.
 
Thanks for the help!

We have a '03 T&C with the split rear seat. My wife can handle removing and reinstalling the seats. As long as you have garage area to store them in, it's not that big of a deal. The fold flat would be nice, but we only remove the rear seat maybe 8-10 times a year so it doesn't bug us.
 
During the summer (rummage sale season for my wife ), we leave one half of the rear out. Still fits the 3 kids and gives her the room she needs.

I personally found taking out the seats and storing them to be a hassle. We switched to a Toyota minivan where the rear seats folded in half and swung to the sides, and the second seat was not as heavy to take out. Much nicer! Fold-flat would be even better. I think it's an important consideration when buying a functional vehicle like a minivan.
