As ERover82 mentioned, be careful of the head rocking side to side. Baby seats usually have extra pads that you can put around baby's head to keep it from rocking back & forth too much.Welcomed our first (son) earlier this year. Looking forward to future Rover adventures. How young is too young to take a kid camping and trail riding?
Had to jam the jacket to keep the kid's head from flopping around in Oriflamme Canyon last time. He slept through entire trail.As ERover82 mentioned, be careful of the head rocking side to side.

Wow. My hats off to you and the others that take your Rovers down that far. My neighbors think I am crazy for the amount of disassembling that goes on at my house. But i am not sure I could bring it back from that point. Empty body and frame, sure. A few select body panels and a frame? I’m out! lol To keep it on topic , my daughter wants to inherit the 2004 D2. My son isn’t into Rovers at the moment. Even though that is all he has been in for most of his life.Not afraid of the Sawzall. Not sure she is ready for the angle grinder. Still need to decide how far forward to go with that cut.

X2 on the pads. My son loves camping and loves to sleep through all the wheeling. Been coming out with me since he could walk, turns three next week.Had to jam the jacket to keep the kid's head from flopping around in Oriflamme Canyon last time. He slept through entire trail.
My P38 is the only RTT vehicle I have owned, and I've never used it. I've slept in the LR4 on short beach/trail trips with one other person. It's not bad at all with all the seats down, sunroof open with net closed. Almost like it was made for it. You can get window vents that make it even more comfortable.X2 on the pads.

Didn’t take baby #2 out as much because it’s so much harder with 2 of em. But I think she likes being outside more than my son.
Sold the RTT at the end of the summer, it sucked to take down. Going to a big ground tent for ‘24 and will probably just sleep in the truck the couple times a year we sleep on the beach. It’s been a lot of figuring out what setup makes sense. In the end, it’s KISS which works best I think.

Should be a breeze to fix that headliner now!Not afraid of the Sawzall. Not sure she is ready for the angle grinder. Still need to decide how far forward to go with that cut.
Yup, I’ve done plenty of solo and trips w my wife (even when she was 6 months pregnant) sleeping in the back. With two car seats and loaded up with toddler and baby gear, I figured RTT made the most sense and we could get all 4 of us up there. We could, but it just wasn’t the right setup, and our “beach camp” we go to with friends isn’t that great of a camp for kids… it’s more of a sit and drink beer beach with lots of rocks instead of sand, nowhere to set up a ground tent. So, switching it up. Trying to config the truck for that one scenario made it shittier for everything else.My P38 is the only RTT vehicle I have owned, and I've never used it.

One could be accused of child abuse for this, indoctrinating your child into this cult. On the other hand, if one can deal with the issues that owning a LR will surly present, (as I can see you, and her, are able to) then maybe not a more enjoyable vehicle to own.My soon to be 13 year old loves offroading and events, and wanted to be part of the next truck transformation. All that is left to chop the top is to move the wiring from the roof. She got the sunroof out, the glass and the D pillar wrap. Hoping to get the doors cut and hung next.

Yeah, my daughter has told my wife multiple times we need a 90s Defender, she thinks it would be hers when she turns 16. As if.Wow.
