car seat question
this may sound funny - but how well do car seats fit into say...an early 90's f-series supercab? i have a reg cab but 2nd baby is coming and i need space. Just deciding if a supercab would work or should i skip straight to a crew lol
Thanks

had the same question myself a while back. answer seemed to be that it'd fit fine. 2 could be pushing it i suppose. ...might go for the crew cab

I have 4yr old twins that I put back there in car seats. My 12 yr old was back there also, but now sits in front. The center seat leaves no leg room. She puts her feet on top of the center console. It's not too bad for short rides. If the whole family goes anywhere, I'll usually drive my Suburban. If I were looking again, I'd go with a crewcab.

I have 2 kids 2 and 5 1/2 . Both fit no problems and I have had several seats . If it has buckets no problem put longer legged kid on pass side. But access to them if don't have buckets is a pain . But I use mine every week .
If need a 1/2 ton only as the extra expense of 3/4 1 ton may not be worth it to you. And crew cabs F150 are rare . But good luck on search

Since you haven't purchased yet I'd go for the crew cab, that is unless your worried about how much more fuel you'll burn. You could always look for a Power Stroke and then you'll have all the truck you'll ever need.

Only problem I have with the room I have in my truck is that I don't have enough kids to fill it up , poor guy is lonely back there in that seat all by himself. 
, crew cabs are the best , room for six adults!

I now have an 8YO and a 3YO. We found the rearward facing seat to be a pain, but do-able in the back seat. We have buckets, so the seat kinda fit between the fronts. Now that he faces forward, it's a great fit. Access isn't as easy as a crewcab, but parking is easier, and F150s in the early-mid '90s are pretty cheap.
