How does one get into the third row? And will it tolerate rear facing child seats in the outboard seats in row 2 when doing 3rd row entry?

You can slide the 2nd row forward with one lever, then there is another lever to fold the backrest forward.

I doubt you'll be able to get into the 3rd row (at least not easily) with a child seat in the way.

Yea, very few vehicles can. I know the Honda Odyssey can, but that's about it.
usually once a child seat is in place you have to go through the middle or over the top.

Welcome to the forum @Hilbert! I doubt that you'll be able to access the third row with a child seat in the second. At best it would be a tight squeeze.

Do you have an order placed for a R1S?

Hey @Hilbert

Since this isn't likely to happen with the R1S, are you considering any other SUVs?

I have a Model X right now. The Model Y is too small. Not sure what options I have for 7 seats with 3rd row easy entry outside of the R1S.

Order placed earlier this week. Thinking I might put 2 car seats side by side on the 60 side and use the 40 as the slide/entry.
