Thanks again for the suggestions.
Dave, besides the plywood floor, the car seat was a great idea too. He has the largest seat available, and it fits better sideways. I've already located the attach points in the floor for the eyebolts.
Mel's points are well taken too.
I don't want to take off on a rant, or start a major debate, but many, many years ago when my only plane was an Ercoupe, and I had put in the large baggage compartment, I wonder what the world would have said when they saw my 3 young daughters in the plane, the largest in the co-pilot seat, and the smaller two in the baggage. I know that grandma was very happy to see them on the trips to her area.
