Stay tuned - I actually haven't tried out the back seat yet. I'm going to install the rear facing child seat tomorrow morning, which is actually the toughest test to pass in terms of rear legroom. It fit in an 09 Corolla test vehicle, so it damn well better fit in the two ton-plus Jeep...but it's hard to fit the rear-facing seats in most vehicles because they lean toward the front of the car and the front seats lean toward the rear of the car, making something like this: /\ (front seat on the left, child seat on the right). That same measurement doomed us to trade in our Pathfinder when we couldn't adjust the seats safely to make enough room for the baby seat and us to sit in front of it comfortably, although part of the Pathfinder's problem may have been trying to cram three rows of seats into it. I'll be sure to let you know how the space back there is, though. I was impressed that it had heated seats in the back at least.
