How thick is the seat back? I don't have much back seat room and need a thinner back that puts the child farther away from the seatback in front .

The seat back is quite thick. I drive a Volvo S60, and there is limited space in my back seats as well, however, it is not so drastic that I wouldn't use the carseat. I would imagine that the car seat would have to be substantially thicker to pose a safety risk because your child was too close behind the seat. I would say that the safety benefits far outweigh the risks.

It's not too bad. I had the same issue with my last car seat, this was a vast improvement, and everyone gained legroom with this.

The back part of the seat is pretty hardy/thick. If you're looking for a slim backing this one will probably be too big.

I drive a 2012 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited and seat space as you can imagine is limited as well. The Recaro seat back to the Jeep seat back is approximate 5 inches. The front edge of the Recaro Side Protection to the Jeep seat back is 10 inches.

I don't have it in front of me so I can't give you exact dimensions but it's reasonably thick. If the pictures can so it any justice I would say they are accurate. It's certainly not absurdly thick so I would think you would be OK. Amazon tends to have a very good return policy and also even If there is nothing wrong with it they charge you their shipping rate which is super cheap in case it doesn't work. Maybe you could even get free shipping back In that case.

Its 8 inches from the bottom of the seat of the lowest setting. Measure his inseam and that will let you know if he can reach. He does need to have pretty strong back muscles to maneuver around though.

It tapers down front to back. The front is about 18 inches and the back of the seat is about 15 inches above the ground. It's sturdy enough that the arm rests assist greatly in giving you leverage.

You can't keep them rear facing unless the shoulder height is still in the limit of the rear-facing seat. thus most seats can take say 35lb but say up to two years as the height of the child becomes too much. Just about to place the order from my 2 year old (who is 26lb but exceed should height requirement).

It's wide. If you need a narrow seat and your child is over 60lbs look at the safety first incognito. Or if child is smaller than that look at a bubblebum.

I have standard seats but it looks like it would fit fine. It's pretty sturdy and a kid would be safe on it even if there was space at the back.

I haven't found it too thick. If anything it might makes things a little more slippery against leather seats. But if a car seat is fastened to it proper tension it shouldn't slide around. I suppose if the car seat were not fastened properly I could see the car seat sliding around more easily.

No. Skinny 4+ year old fits comfortably in front seat with seat front lowered and can squeeze in rear seat, but knees hit back of front seat.

the seats have different weight limits, back is less than front. Think the front is 35 lbs back is around 25. look on the phill and teds web site and they have all the specs. My 40 lb 4 year old rides fine in front and 25 lb 2 year old fine in back

The back (tushy area) is about a half inch shallower than the front. It is also a hard foam, it isn't very comfortable. We ended up cutting the foam off and replacing it with memory foam so she didn't hurt on long trips.

It is less, it sits about 9 to 11 inches from the seat to the ground. Not sure how high the back is.

not as thick as a couch cushion. I use it in my twins room. The only time I found it uncomfortable is after falling asleep on it for awhile. You eventually start to feel the bars underneath. However, I don't think a kid would complain.

Maybe 1/2 an inch. The seat seems to be more designed for the child to have an easier time scooting back into it than anything. We've had a few splashes from it not being high enough/my daughter not being far back on the seat enough (she likes to try and lean back when she did on it) but nothing horrible.

It is 3 inches on the front part of the seat. The back of the seat is more like an inch or an inch and a half. My grandson is 10.5 and my new Civic backseat seatbelt did not fit across his chest as it should so I bought this. It fit percectly for him, but I do not know if it would be right for your grandson. It very light weight and hooks to the seatbelts to keep it from sliding forward. Great buy for us and might be perfect you to sit on.

Hi R. Paulina, After I did some research about your inquiry, the back seat is for older kid, can be sit or stand. For more info, you can visit this website here http://www.babytrend.com/sit_n_stand_sup_174_sup_ultra/SS66436.htmlI hope this will help.Best regard,Henry

The actual seat cushion is only about 1/4" thick. It wasn't built as much as a cushion as it was for air circulation on the back and buttocks.
