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.
Look forward to hearing your review. Heated seats in the back? I am impressed, I didn't expect that from a Jeep.
