Going on a family vacation (10 hour drive each way) this weekend with the wife and two kids (8 & 6). The kids have booster seats on each side of the rear bench seat (60/40), so no bulky carseats involved. We're bringing our dog, she's only about 45 lbs, but I'm struggling with where she will ride. I'm thinking there's really only three options:
1) back seat in between the kids with pillows stacked up on the floor to create sort of a "bridge" up to the rear of the center console
2) up front in between my wife and I with the console flipped back (front bench seat), again with some sort of pillows stacked up on the floor on the hump between the front driver and passenger floorboards to level out with the seat and give her some more space
3) stack up pillows in the rear driver and passenger floorboards to level out the floor and let her lay there under the kids feet (their feet don't touch the floor as is anyway.
Or, get something like this that looks like the side panels each fold inward to accommodate the kids... or worst case cut away the panels so only the center and front parts remain.
Any other ideas or suggestions from anyone, or has anyone been in this situation before and found a great solution? I've only had the RAM for a few months so haven't run into this issue yet. Any input is welcome and appreciated.
