Check your tire pressures, and make sure they're cold when you do. Since tire rated load varies with inflation pressure, you might want to put them one or perhaps two psi above the door sticker numbers while you're at it.

My friends and I are pretty big guys (football players) and we've never had a problem except for space and we weigh (280+310+210+200) about 1000 pounds combined! Damm those backseats, way to small!

You'll be fine. Just give youself a little more space and distance as your braking will suffer with the extra weight. But Im very sure the car wont fall apart.

You must have a huge 4 year old. My 14 year old weighs 225# and rides back there all the time including a round trip to San Diego (2600 miles) and a round trip to Missouri (2000 miles).

That's point I was getting at -- glad someone got it

Not necessarily. You'd be amazed at the amount of space that currently-available child seats take up.
