Backseat comfort for the kids???

I have to transport my 3 kids from school on a regular basis and wonder how often I could get away with taking a P-car for the task? Its about a 12-14 minute ride. 15 year old is 5'10" 10 y0 girl is close to 5' and 7 yo boy is ??

If this is a stupid idea please tell me. I just want to know if it has any practical application at all.

For me my younger nephew about 4-1/2ft sat in the back of my P-car for quite a long time but you might be pushing it for anybody over 5ft.

Dont get me wrong it bearable for me 5 ''10 ,for about an hour ,but its your call.

For the younger one's they are fine but for the 15yr and 10 old its a bit annoying, but in my opinion bearable.

Put the tallest kid in the front, and the other two in the back. Kids love to ride in a 911.

Good thing is your 15 yo will be driving soon. It's not a comfortable ride w 3 kids esp your oldest one at 5'10". But it's only 15 min. Just buy your old kid a safe car when 16 and he will sell it to your wife.

Both my girls (12 & 15) ride in the back. At at 5'4" and 5'6" respectively, they're not too comfy, but they still like to ride in the Porsche. I wouldn't subject them to a cross-country road trip back there!
