The 3rd rows are good for 10 and under children at best.
Most of my boys were not 6’ then

In what way?
They aren't sitting in the third row. Neither is your kid for a long arse time.

I think you’re going to find that this is simply not the case. I don’t know how old they are, but your in-laws probably aren’t going to be able to climb in and out of the third row (if they can even fit back there). Meanwhile, trying to strap an infant or toddler into a car seat in the third row strikes me as an absolutely miserable experience.
Then, on top of all that, most SUVs with 3 rows eat up most/all the cargo space when the third row is up.
Third row SUVs are fine if you have kids old enough to climb back there and strap themselves in. Otherwise, I’d suggest you’re better off with a minivan or a regular SUV (many come with a folding third row regardless, but I wouldn’t make this a huge part of my buying decision with one infant child).

Get the Ram TRX, 125k and gets 10 miles to the gallon, car line will never be the same.

Do the in-laws not know how to drive?
We're about to have our third and not even looking to upgrade to a 3rd Row SUV, yet.

The anchors are highly visible on the seats in the middle row on the pilot, so I think that will be the plan.
The in-laws will sit next to the baby and in the back when they ride with us.

Minivan is by far the best with young kids. I know the wife might thumb her nose at first but in the end the automatic doors and plenty of storage room trump the stigma.

You still don't need a 3rd row SUV for that
Also, your inlaws will probably much rather just drive their own vehicle to whatever destination you are going to.
Of all the dumb reasons to try to justify this purchase, needing space for your in laws to ride with you might be the dumbest.

3rd row = Definitely more kids
Your stupid dude brain = I’m gonna get to frick a bunch
Reality = You’re overpaying for the pussy

You’re WANTING to. Not needing to. This is what is wrong with America.
Amen. Wtf do you need that space for,, are you going to be carting around rubbermaids full of gasoline for retail sale in suburban Phillly?

The people on here telling you what you need and don’t need are gay. It’s America and the man can buy what ever he wants when he wants to. Hyundai and Kia don’t come with spare tires……. Just a can of fix a flat. They are all junk these days if you ask me. Get something older

No you WANT a third row difference. In no way shape or form do you NEED a third row for 1 kid. This is coming from a father of 3 with a third row Tahoe that we hardly EVER use. The only time it gets used is on a long (3+ hours) trip, if the oldest doesn't want to sit in between the 2 car-seats.
Save the money and get something with a little more cabin space.
And now that you are going to have a kid, learn the difference between a NEED and a WANT.

Pour quoi?
Wife had a QX60 that was an excellent vehicle for 10 years (other than the CVT issue that was fixed).
Replaced it 6 months ago with a new one that has an automatic (non-CVT) and it's been great.
Pathfinder is the non-luxury version of same platform, so I don't see the issue.

You will never use the third row if you are traveling just fyi. Barely any storage space if you use the 3rd row in the vehicles mentioned
Sounds like OP should finance a Grand Wagoneer for 120 months
