    Hello!
    Asking for a quick favor. I tried searching the net to find more details, but wasn't successful. Would any of you happen to have small children that are pictured in the xtra cab of your tacoma? I need to get an idea of the room. I've located a 2002 truck that's a couple hours away, but was hoping to get some opinions of this first.
    My boys are 8 and 5. Can anyone help with this?

    some of this, a little of that
    I would think it would be too small, and at 5 doesn't he still technically need a carseat/booster seat?

    I have a 99 Xtra cab AND three children: 3-5-9!! The 5 year old is in a booster seat behind the driver's seat (I am 6'2") and the 3 year old is still in a car seat (she still a little to mischiefs to be in a booster seat) and I added a third seat belt for the 9 year old to sit in between them. It is getting really cramped for the boy, but to go camping or the few times I have the whole family in the truck, he survives. Usually he is up front when I have running the day care or school or etc or etc.

    Give me a few and I will look for pics.

    Also, we recently bought a 3rd gen 4Runner for the family wagon, tons of room in it.

    Yes, the 5 yo is still in a booster (backless).

    Thank you! It wouldn't be for long trips. It'd be my DD but I still have my Sienna for the family outings. They would mainly be in it when I pick them up from daycare and quick runs.

    Couldn't find many pics, but this is the 5 year old in the front and the 3 year old in the back (her normal seat). It's a Britrax car seat.

    Thank you! His booster is backless, so I'm hoping that may help but then again the 8 yo has long legs so still a tough call :/

    Yeah, my 5yrold's booster is backless. I built a platform for it behind the driver's seat. Behind the passenger's seat there is a platform that can be placed up and down as needed, it gives extra stability.
