Replace 2nd row console with jumper seat?

[marckerschner]

I have a 2004 Explorer (Eddie Bauer) and the second row has bucket seats with a console in between. We will have our third child soon and need to be able to fit all three kids in the 2nd row. I've found a few salvaged 2nd row "jumper" seats on ebay. My question is, could I remove the console and fit the second row jumper seat in the same opening or should I tear out the entire 2nd row and find a complete 2nd row bench seat?

There have been others who did the opposite, swapped the middle seat for a console, so I guess you should have no problems

Wish I would have seen this sooner, I would have traded you.
