Just going off of this picture, if the roll bar on a 4 door terminates at the body at the same point as a 2 door, then this 3rd row seat is placed significantly further back than the rear seat in a 2 door. In a 2 door the seat is placed in front of the roll bar. The placement of the 3rd row also places the occupants head out of the halo of the roll bar, similar to the CJ and older YJ angular roll bars, which we know to be dangerous in a roll over situation. If there is no actual data to determine if the rear area of a 4 door is safe for children, I'm going to err on the side of safety. Everyone has to choose which risks in life to take. I'm not saying everyone should live in a boring bubble and never take risks or do anything fun. But when it comes to children (I don't even have any) I would do everything in my power to keep them safe. That's just me.

You are correct in that there is no roll bar protection for the seat in that position, and a rollover could be bad.

The brackets do have the option to allow the seat to face rearward. In the rearward facing option my head sits under the roll bar cross member (I am 5'9"). Personally I want to extend and reinforce the rollbars, just waiting on funds and time, so I keep it facing backwards for now.

Looks great! Do you know if you can use the second row of a TJ with the TeraFlex brackets?
