Well...the Metro only has four seat belts. We don't have any plans, per se, of having more kids--but of course we'll have to see what providence has in store...

In terms of the kids getting bigger, we plan to run the Metro as long as we can. I'm 6'3" tall, and I can fit comfortably in the back seat. So our two boys ought to be good for a while.

The wagon does indeed have a third row, and eight seat belts (which we use for carpooling from time to time). We try to drive it as little as possible, though.

One of my planned mods is to increase the seating capacity of the wagon from eight to ten. Currently, it has three belts in the front and middle rows and two in the rear; I will make it three front and rear and four in the middle row. There's plenty of space for this, as the wagon is cavernous on the inside--I'll just have to modify the seats themselves somewhat and add the extra belts.

We have no intention of having six more kids, however...
