Hey Ben -
I have a 93 Dakota Club Cab. I love the truck and its been very dependable.
As far as the room you are looking for I would consider the QUAD cab. I saw
one at a sportsman show and its much roomier than my Club cab (more $$
though).
Shifting will be hindered by 3 people up front, but I have done it. If the
man in the middle is a man make sure you're good friends as his stick shift
will interfere with the Dakotas if you get my point, especially in 4th gear!
As far as the baby seats in the rear - I have a small infant in a rear facing
seat and it seems to work fine. But I have concerns about the forward facing
when we switch because I don't think the club cab bench seat in the back is
deep enough for a forward facing car seat. The QUAD cab is definitely able
to handle the seats.
As far as getting a person in-between the car seats, I'm sure it can be done
but it will be tight.
Good luck, Kev

<< Hello All,
I'm considering the purchase of a Dakota with the extended cab and have some
questions. My understanding from the truck's propaganda is that it can seat
6 people. My questions are:
1. Is the 5-speed manual shifting interfered with by the middle person in
the front?
2. Can you fit two baby car seats, face-forward, in the back and still have
room for a third person?
The passengers would not be big people (between 5' to 5'8").
If someone on this list has a '99 or '00 Dakota Club Cab, 2WD, 4-cylinder
model, I'd like to ask you some more questions.
Thanks,
Ben >>
