Yesterday while at work I decided to buy a swing set for my daughter--she's 20 months old btw. So after work I went to Walmart and they had a 3 swing set with slide and see saw for only $78. Not bad. I added a Little Tykes tolder swing for $20.
I loaded the box in the back of the Av with the midgate up. It would have been OK like that, strapped in, but I had other things in the bed and really needed to have the tailgate up. So, I moved the carseat to the front, put the midgate down and slid the boxed-up swingset the rest of the way in.
Here's the cool part about the 2003: Since the 2003 has the passenger-side airbag automatic disabling sensor, this was an option for me. I strapped the carset in the front, and the passenger side airbag indicator was "Off". Perfect....I went and picked up my daughter.
She had a great time up front with me on the way home, and I fell more comfortable with her up there since the airbag was automatically disabled. If I would have bought a 2002, this wouldn't have been an option, since I understand the passenger side airbag cut off system was added on the 2003's.
