The 40 portion of my rear seat stays folded and there is a "pillow" for my GS to stay on. She stays in that spot all of the time. My 3 year old is buckled in her car seat on the other side.
On this subject, about 10 years ago my wife and I were traveling in our '77 Ford farm truck and had our black lab, BET, riding in the bed of the truck like she always does. We were on a highway going about 50mph when a 2 1/2 ton AM General 10 wheel drive troop transport cleaned my clock.
A '77 Ford 3/4 ton pickup was very well made and a very heavy vehicle. We hit so hard that I was pinned to the seat by the steering wheel and the deuce and a half's front bumper was in the dash about 2 feet from me.
My lab stayed in the back of the truck during and after the crash, the whole time they were cutting me out and until my mother-in-law made it there to take her to the vet to get her checked. She had nothing wrong with her and the vet said he could find no sore spots. My wife and I, on the other hand were a little worse for the wear and I understand they had to use a large wrecker to pull the vehicles apart.
All of that and and there was not a scratch on the duece and a half, even on the bumper where it was lodged in my dash.
