Smile Third seat capacity

I'd appreciate any firsthand experience with the capability of the third seat accommodating what size people.

It looks like it won't offer any better than the third seat in my Volvo V70 wagon.

It's a real pain when I have to schlep around more than 5, usually teenage boys, 100-140lbs and 5'4- 5'8.

After one year with our '07 E350w4 I would love a good excuse to get an E350s4

Thanks

You guys are too big for the 3rd row seat in the E-wagon. Seats are sized for kids up to about 10 or 11 depending upon there size.

Yes, that seat is too small for real people. And, it is OK for only 2 that don't fight.

Silber & Jim,

Yeah, I thought it was the same as my V70. I'm just not a minivan or SUV kind of guy.

Yeah, I know about the fighting issue with twin boys!!!

I second that. We have a 6-year old, and the third row should be perfect for two of her friends up through around age 10.
