Thanks. I'm fortunate enough to have the 2 original rear facing quick
remove jump seats in my van. I also have the sidewall table that folds out
and can seat four around the table with cup holders for each. Two on the
bench seat and two on the jump seats. That bench seat folding down to make
a near queen size bed is handy too.  Some wag suggested I get a tag or
plaque and  mount it on the back somewhere that says ' Big Daddy's
Cathouse'!
