    Swanson52,
    Is your 2011 regular cab a 4x4 standard transmission? Apparently the automatics have the switch and the standard trans dont. Thanks!

    The big thing is the AIR BAG. If you can turn it off on the passenger side with your key, then it will be perfectly fine. I had an old 86 ford ranger single cab and it was my only vehicle when my GF's car broke down. Baby seat was in the passenger seat and GF was in the middle, and of course it was a stick. We got used to it til she got her car back. As long as you have a reliable family vehicle, then the single oughta be good as long as you can turn the airbag off on the passenger side. If you can't, then it's a no go. Take the babyseat with you on the test drive. I test drove a single cab tacoma a few years back with the boy in the booster and I almost pulled the trigger, but they din wanna give me what I wanted for my trade, so boo hoo them. Good luck.
