How is the long room with the baby seat in the back?

How is the long room with the baby seat in the back?

Are you asking how the leg room is in the front seat? It is great because we put his rearward facing baby seat in the middle It slots right between the two seats, so I can put the driver's seat all the way back (I'm only 6ft, but I have long legs/arms and no torso). We use the seat belt to strap his base down so it is still easy to take him in and out (versus using the LATCH system). If we put him behind one of the seats, it would definitely have an impact - not sure how bad though.

Yeah I'm hoping that the leg room won't be too tight with two car seat bases in the back.

Forward facing you'll be fine - rearward facing, it might be tight on the driver's side. You may need to put the seat more upright than you'd normally do. There is a lot of room back there, but rearward facing car seats on bases take up a lot of space.

Nice ride and pics. If you're looking for the next step up but still pretty easy, try Georgia Pass. Despite what all the guidebooks say, go Breck to 285 - I prefer to do the steep stuff going uphill.
